Month of Greats - Who/What/When Game

[Elgee]

Child may not what?

[Ithillian Turambar]

I can only think of Edward Jenner who developed the smallpox vaccine from cowpox. He innoculated his children first I think - but I can't find a rodent in literature with the same name.

 

So ... Probably totally wrong lol

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

5/14/1796

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

first inoculation, and 8 year old...

 

Jenner is one of the rodents in secret of nymh (sp?)

 

could not figure that clue out at all...

[Ithillian Turambar]

Oh. Well I did not know that. Nice one Cindy :)

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

lol, totally swiped it fom you and he was playing with vaccines before that, that ones just the classic first documented success.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

actually by the clue he my be looking for the year he vaccinated his son which was earlier do... I'll leave that for you.

[Ithillian Turambar]

On 14 May 1796, Jenner tested his hypothesis by inoculating James Phipps, an eight-year-old boy who was the son of Jenner's gardener. He probably innoculated his wife and two children during a smallpox outbreak in 1794.

 

Are all the bases covered now?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I get an earlier date for the 18 month old son, and he did it again a few years later.

 

but when you're doing creepy experiments on kids you don't always keep great records...

[AesSedaiGuy]

Cool everyone.

 

Sorry Mother, I mixed my phrasing up, I meant not fond of bovines.

 

It was Jenner (villain from the Rats of NIMH) and his creation of small pox vaccine and inoculation of his children.

 

Points awarded to both Ith and Cindy! I'll award both of you 55 points! :)

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

that's very nice of you but no way I deserve full points or that, all I got was the when and wouldn't have gotten that without ithi.

 

thank you, though :)

[Ithillian Turambar]

Oooh - it's been ages since I got pointses. Excellent

[AesSedaiGuy]

OK ... So 30 points for "when" ...I'll throw in 5 for getting the NIMH reference and being gracious. :)

 

35 points? Cool?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

[AesSedaiGuy]

We brought structure to the maze and broke the code.

I specifically was thinking you would get this ...being a geneticist and all! LOL
