Elberg, Sanford Ph.D. – Microbiology and What It Does for Us: Memorial to a Scientist
Microbiology, what it is and how it benefits society is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious. Our guest is the late Dr. Sanford Elberg, a retired professor of microbiology and bacteriology and later the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of California at Berkeley. He died April 8th, 2011.
One of his scientific successes was the development of a vaccine for brucellosis, a disease in farm animals causing the female to abort early in pregnancy. This interview with Professor Elberg, who received a Ph.D. in microbiology from the University of California at Berkeley in 1930, was recorded at his home in Mendocino County, California in March 1998. Dr. Elberg begins with a definition of microbiology and bacteriology.
Sanford Elberg recommends, “The Plague Tales,” by Ann Benson.

I don’t even know the way I stopped up right here, however I believed
this submit was once great. I do not understand who you might be but definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger if you aren’t already.
Cheers!
