Taking Root.

How many kinds of plants are there in the world? Lucy Braun wondered that as a child. She showed great interest in plants at a young age. She often had energetic walks with her family through the nearby woods. Some plants and wildflowers seemed to shout at her with their wildcolours. Others hid behind rocks.

Lucy looked at the shapes of leaves as she walked in the woods. She kept a record of what she saw. She also learnt to draw what she saw. Then she could compare all kinds of plants. Later, Lucy grew more and more interested in botany, the study of plants.

Branching Out

At university, Lucy took classes in geology, or the study of rocks and minerals. Her work with geologists changed how she looked at the natural world. She continued her studies in botany as well. Lucy also took classes in ecology (生态学). Lucy believed that plant life in some are as was able to move to other places over time.

In Full Bloom

In 1917, Lucy began to teach botany at a university. She lived in a house near the woods. Lucy collected plants from all around the country. She took many photos of them, too. Colour photography was still new then. Because of that, people enjoyed her lessons and photos a lot.

The    ▲     of Labour (劳动)

Later in her life, Lucy wrote many field guides. In 1950, she published her most important guide. It describes the plants in the forests across the country. Ecologists still use it to study changes in the forests over time.

Today, Lucy has a few plants named after her. One of them is Lucy Braun's snakeroot, which is now in danger. Lucy's work in the protection of nature may help prevent its disappearance.

Lucy Braun lived to be 81. In her years as a botanist, Lucy collected nearly 12,000 plants!

Malaria(疟疾) has been a deadly problem for humans since ancient times. Countless people have died from the illness. Thankfully, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found a useful medicine called qinghaosu.

In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a medicine against malaria. Her team took a special way.After reading more than 2,000 old treatments, Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible treatments for malaria. One treatment, which is 1,600 years old, uses sweet wormwood. Tu found it useful and tried to extract(提取) the qinghaosu from it in order to makea medicine. The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way. She used a low- temperature way to extract the qinghaosu and finally succeeded in 1972.

Next, Tu and her team did lots of tests with qinghaosu in fighting against malaria. After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her team members offered to test the medicine on themselves before testing on human patients. It turned out that qinghaosu was safe and all patients in the test became well. Gradually, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised people to use qinghaosu as the first- line treatment for malaria. It saved millions of lives around the world.

In 2015, when Tu won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, she didn't accept all of the honor. Instead, she praised her team members and Chinese traditional medicine. She once said," Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world."
