These two titans of medical history were contemporaries whose scientific sparring was as interesting as it was helpful.  By butting heads over topics in microbiology,  Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur, used a rivalry to further our understanding of infectious disease and both contributed greatly to mitigating the impact that so many different microbes have on humankind. 

This week's episode was excellently researched by Patrick Kelly, one of our returning guests.  An exceptional educator in his own right, we encourage all of our listeners to go over to the newer iteration of his YouTube Channel, @PatKellyTeaches now focusing on, of all things, medical history!  And if you're in the mood to learn more about anatomy and physiology topics, his other channel @Corporis is still available as well. 

Give him a follow and check out his video on this topic: The History of Germ Theory.
