On 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics became the first human to travel into outer space. His space flight heralded a new era of human endeavor in what has become known as the “final frontier”. Since that historic flight, human beings have set foot upon the Moon, have learned to work in the harsh vacuum of outer space, and, for the last decade, have maintained a permanent human presence outside the Earth.

World Tuberculosis Day is marked on March 24 every year to create awareness about the dreaded disease that is still killing hundreds of people all around the world.

Robert Koch improved the medical methods he used in Wollstein, including staining and purification techniques, and bacterial growth media, including agar plates and the Petri dish, named after its inventor, his assistant Julius Richard Petri. These devices are still used today. With these techniques, he was able to discover the bacterium causing tuberculosis called Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1882 (he announced the discovery on 24 March 1882 ). Tuberculosis was the cause of one in seven deaths in the mid-19th century.
