Hansen’s disease (leprosy)
is treatable today in large part because of the work of Alice Ball,
a 23-year-old chemist whose breakthrough turned a toxic folk remedy into the world’s first effective treatment.

A young Black scientist discovered a pivotal leprosy treatment in the 1920s − but an older colleague took the credit
Historians are working to shine a light on Alice Ball’s legacy and contributions to an early treatment of a dangerous and stigmatizing disease.

Woher kommen Güter, die wir täglich nutzen und wohin verschwinden sie? Die Reihe «Lieferketten XXL» zeigt die Schattenseiten von globalen Lieferketten – von der Rohstoffgewinnung bis zur Entsorgung. Welche Kosten hat dieser Überkonsum für Mensch und Umwelt?
