EDITORS COMMENTS
Selman Abraham Waksman, born on February 10, 1888, in what is now Ukraine, was a pioneering American biochemist with Russian origins, best known for his groundbreaking discoveries in the field of soil microbiology and antibiotics. Waksman, often seen here in this photograph donning his distinctive yellow-tinted spectacles, made history by identifying and isolating several potent antibiotics, including actinomycin, streptomycin, and neomycin. Born in the small shtetl of Lubavitch, Waksman immigrated to the United States with his family in 1891, settling in Newark, New Jersey. He earned his Bachelor's degree from Rutgers University and went on to complete his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. Waksman returned to Rutgers as a professor in 1917, where he established the Department of Soil Microbiology and set up the first dedicated laboratory for the study of soil microbes. In this image, Waksman, a COL (Commander) in the U.S. Army Chemical Warfare Services during World War II, is seen in a thoughtful pose, deep in concentration as he examines a petri dish in his lab. The Lithograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of Waksman's tireless pursuit of knowledge and his significant contributions to the scientific world. Waksman's work laid the groundwork for modern antibiotic research and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1952. His legacy continues to inspire and influence scientists and researchers around the world.
