Acerca de esta escucha
In the mid-1800s a dreaded illness swept through the tropical regions of the globe. Malaria was a prevalent and often deadly parasite. It caused fever, chills, headaches, even confusion, seizures, and sometimes death. A cure needed to be found but this quest would lead to an unexpected discovery.
In 1852, in the East End of London, a young boy named William Henry Perkin had a fascination with science. While he would certainly not find the magical cure for Malaria, his curiosity and discovery of a curious purple substance would lead to exciting new inventions. From textiles and the world of fashion, to how chemical compounds were studied to create drugs, to mundane but essential elements like plastics, William Henry Perkin’s accidental discovery would change the world.
