Attitudes
Not interested in fame
Feels it’s a recognition and motivation for all scientists in China
On 7 December, 2015, Tu
Youyou was awaded a Nobel
Prize for her discovery of
artemisinin, a life-saving drug
for malaria.
Tu Youyou majored in medicine in university and later studied Chinese medicine with experts in the field.
In 1969, Tu Youyou was given the mission to set up a team to find a cure for malaria.
When worldwide scientists failed to find a cure using modern chemicals, Tu Youyou turned to Chinese herbs for help. Despite their limited resources and hundreds of failed experiments, they found a possible chemical. In order to test the medicine, Tu Youyou and her team tested the medicine on their own bodies. They finally discovered the most effective drug to cure the disease.
Although Tu Youyou has won the Nobel Prize and become well-known, she is uninterested in fame and prefers to continue her research.
Turn your outline into a report. Remember to include pictures. Then share your report with the class.
