This pint glass features the African American chemist, Alice Ball, known for developing an injectable treatment for leprosy. Chaulmoogra oil had been previously used to treat leprosy, but it provided inconsistent results and was very painful for patients. Ball discovered a water-soluble form of the oil that could be dissolved in the bloodstream. This became the most effective treatment for leprosy until the 1940s when sulfonamide drugs were developed. Even though Ball was the first woman and first African American to receive a masters degree from the University of Hawaii, the first female chemistry professor there, and made significant contributions in her field, some guy tried to take credit for Ball’s work after her death. Luckily, however, this man was corrected and we can now say ‘cheers’ to Alice Ball on February 29th – Alice Ball Day.

Great notebook!
I love the design of the front and back cover (such a pretty blue!), and I like that the notebook lays flat.

Cool tool for fool fuel
Saw a few similar items from other sources, but this was the only one I could find in a smaller size. Looks great, seems to be well crafted. Vigilare.

Continued support
I have and will continue to make purchases from cognitive surplus. Affordable and quality, and that’s hard to come buy now a days. I’ve bought myself, sister, sister in law, and two friends gifts form cognitive surplus. I plan to do my mom’s Mother’s Day shopping here!

Added this to my order at the last minute as it was discounted as a "second." totally cannot tell why it's a second- looks perfectly fine to me. Score!

Purchased from my daughter in law's wish list- WOW.Such a cool design. I wish I had discovered it myself and could have surprised her. Quality is excellent. Keep up the good work.
