...field of concentration suffers acutely from course deficiency. One half course, and that remarkably badly integrated, is but meagre fare for the growing biochemist. There should be at least one full course specifically covering the subject. Furthermore, this full course should include at least six hours of laboratory work a week to provide the biochemist with the specialized techniques he will inevitably need in later work...
Famed British Biochemist John Burdon Sanderson Haldane, who says...
...modern history of syphilis began in 1905 when Zoologist Fritz Schaudinn of Germany discovered the specific cause of infection. One year later August von Wassermann of Germany devised his Famed blood test for diagnosing the disease. In 1910 Biochemist Paul Ehrlich, once more of Germany, after 605 laboratory experiments, finally hit upon a positive ure for syphilis. Popularly called 606 or Salvarsan, this Ehrlich remedy was technically a compound of arsenic known as arsphenamine. With the cause & cure well in hand, world medicine was fully equipped to move forcefully against one of the worst scourges of the human race...
...three years Biochemist William Gumming Rose and his associates at University of Illinois have fed artificially-made food to white rats. Of the ingredients in natural food only the proteins furnish nitrogen available for tissue building. Chemists have broken down the proteins into more than 20 simpler compounds called amino acids. Dr. Rose accordingly prepared and purified all the amino acids he knew of, fed them to baby rats together with synthetic carbohydrates, fats, salts and vitamins. Something was lacking. The animals failed to grow, wasted away, died. Then Dr. Rose succeeded in isolating another protein component: alpha -amino -beta...

A confirmed hater of materialism, he called it "nothing better than a superstition...
