pastuer the man who killed and enslanved BILLIONS of lives
When Warner Brothers made a film biography of his life in 1937, they cast Paul Muni to play Pasteur. He received the Academy Award that year for best actor. At an early screening of the film that was shown as sort of a treat for Warner Brothers employees, he was approached after the film by an electrician who worked on the studio lot, who told him how much he liked the film. He said he took his little boy to see the film, and afterwards he asked his father to buy him a microscope so he could learn more. Muni said in his later years, that inspiring that young boy meant more to him than the Oscar did. Muni felt the same way about kids as Pasteur did, I think.....

I’d like to add to your story. My great-grandfather Dean Harry L Russell (1866-1954) worked with Louis Pasteur in in Paris the early 1890’s. When he returned to the States, he applied pasteurisation to milk in his employer, The University Of Wisconsin where he became Dean of the college of Agriculture. He used his knowledge of bacteriology to use pasteurisation of milk to fight TB in Wisconsin residents who he discovered were getting it through deceased meat and milk. He went on to create a test to use on cows for determining whether they had TB. He tried the test on the University Heard and the story goes that 25 out of their 30 cows had TB! Dean Russell went around the state of Wisconsin offering to test heards of farmers. He experienced quite a bit of resistance since the cows with TB looked healthy. As a result of testing and eradicating the diseased cows, the rate of TB in Wisconsin decreased substantially. Dean Russell who got his doctorate at Johns Hopkins university and also studied with Robert Koch, went onto become Dean of The College of Agriculture at The University of Wisconsin from 1907-1931. Thank you for reading this, I thought this information would add to your story.
A real hero. Wow i love hearing about people who inspire my faith in humanity . Too few and far between.

Pasteur would not have known if ... perhaps you were referring to an diseased donkey in his lab stables? Marie however would've likely realized your meaning and laughed her, uhh, "butt" off. Of course, upon hearing her -- Pasteur would've retorted that buttocks cannot actually laugh, although they are capable of making various other noises. Is not science universal? Just as is the passing of gas? Voila'!

Pasteur's father was as much a hero as his son. Why? Pasteur's father was a very, very smart man for A. being open to allowing his son to be who he wanted to be and B. supporting him in all his passions so he found his own road in life. True enlightenment, not to mention probably a very strong bond with his son.

An incredible human being. Once again an interesting biography well presented. Thank you.
the Pasteur Institute still exists. It made several breakthrough discoveries since it's creation. And several of the scientists working there received a nobel price in medicine.
Nothing has inspired me as much as the realization that Pasteur and Salk made life changing discoveries for the benefit of the entire human race, incredible contributions to health and science, and neither man did it for fame or glory or riches. We take for granted their profound benevolence
