#TBT in honor of Black History Month to this Dreyfus Foundation-funded @novapbs.bsky.social collection on groundbreaking chemist Percy Julian: https://ny.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/pj07-ex/
Forgotten Genius | NOVA Premium Collection | PBS LearningMedia
In 1950, Percy Julian was one of the few African Americans with a PhD. The target of death threats and denied teaching positions, Julian struggled to get ahead in a racially hostile world. These resources from NOVA’s Forgotten Genius explore how Julian revolutionized chemistry and overcame challenges related to legalized segregation.

A protein found in the GI tract can neutralize many bacteria
MIT researchers found that a protein called intelectin-2 has broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria found in the GI tract. Additionally, intelectin-2 can crosslink molecules that make up mucus, helping to strengthen the mucus barrier.
