> Karl Friedrich Meyer [...] is a largely unheralded hero of global public health. Many consider him the twentieth century’s Pasteur, and his work doubtless saved millions of lives.
Unheralded indeed. His Wikipedia entry isn't very well-sourced, but assuming it's mostly accurate this guy could be a great subject for a motivated long-form journalist willing to do a bit of research. At the very least I'd want to read it.
- newsbinator 5y agoI'd want to read about his path to discovery and challenges while changing the status quo for sure. I wouldn't want to read about his grandfather's antique clock or his childhood pets. Long-form journalism in 2021 isn't for me.
