Police in Guinea-Bissau have seized a batch of vaccines from a facility affiliated with a stalled, US-funded hepatitis B immunization trial on newborn babies that the WHO has slammed as "unethical".
The study, which would randomize whether or not 14,000 newborns in the highly impoverished west African nation receive a hepatitis B vaccine birth dose, was suspended pending further technical review, the WHO said in February.

Her name was Alice Augusta Ball. She was born in Seattle in 1892. She earned two bachelor's degrees from the University of Washington, then moved to Hawaii for her master's in chemistry.

Her name was Alice Augusta Ball. She was born in Seattle in 1892. She earned two bachelor's degrees from the University of Washington, then moved to Hawaii for her master's in chemistry. In 1915, she became the first woman and first African American to earn a master's degree from the College of Hawaii. She was 23.
That same year, a physician named Harry Hollmann asked for her help. Leprosy patients in Hawaii were being exiled to a remote peninsula on Molokai. The only treatment was chaulmoogra oil, a thick, foul substance that was painful to inject and barely worked. Hollmann wanted something better.
Ball cracked it. She isolated the active compounds in the oil and converted them into ethyl esters—a form that was water-soluble, injectable, and absorbed by the body. The Ball Method wasn't a perfect cure, but it was the best treatment available for the next two decades. It freed patients from quarantine. It saved lives.
She died on December 31, 1916, at 24 years old. The cause was likely chlorine poisoning from a lab accident. She never published her findings.
Her supervisor, Arthur Dean, took the research. He published papers in 1920 and 1921. He didn't mention her name. He called it the Dean Method.
Hollmann tried to correct the record. In 1922, he published a paper crediting Ball explicitly. He wrote that Dean's method was no improvement over hers. Few people noticed.
Ball stayed forgotten for decades. The University of Hawaii didn't recognize her until 2000. A plaque was dedicated. February 29 was declared Alice Ball Day. In 2007, the school gave her its highest honor.
Today, her name is finally attached to the treatment she created. The Ball Method. Not the Dean Method. See less
