@women_helping_women: She was 23 when she solved the problem of how to treat patients afflicted with leprosy. She was 24 when she died. And for generations, another man’s name was associated with her work. He NEVER gave her credit. 🤬 Her name was Alice Augusta Ball. A Black chemist whose work transformed treatment for Hansen’s disease. And in 2026, the American Chemical Society officially recognized the Ball Method as a National Historic Chemical Landmark. Don’t just learn the discovery. Learn HER name. And SAY IT WITH PRIDE. #AliceBall #BlackHistory #BlackWomenInSTEM #HiddenHistory #fyp

I am so glad that she has finally become recognized. Sadly back in that early time so many scientists succumbed to exposer from the environment where they were trying to create medical treatments to save lives.

Don't buy another charger until you see this. I'm sure you've had this problem charging your phone while watching shows or streaming, and there's nowhere to rest your hand. Super uncomfortable, and it's not even easy to place it on a table.This charger has a completely flat design that fits perfectly against your phone, making it really easy to use.This part also flips open and turns into a phone, stand super stable whether you use it vertically or horizontally.The best part it, it's not just fast charging, it supports 240 Watts super fast charging. It also comes with a 5 foot braided cable that feels solid and high quality.The deal looks like it's ending soon. I've put the link below. If there's still a discount, grab one now #chargecable#funny#foryourpage#dealsforyourday#summerwins
