Alice Catherine Evans

 Alice Catherine Evans, born January 29, 1881 and passed away on September 5, 1975 in New York. She was an American microbiologist. She studied bacteriology of milk and cheese. Then, she discovered that Bacillus abortus, now called Brucella is the cause of brucellosis both in humans and cattle. When Evans was five and six, she was taught at home by her parents and then attended a one-room school house in Neath where she was able to earn top grades.In 1886, Evans survived scarlet fever as did her brother Morgan. The school she attended was the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute in Towanda in Towanda, where she was a member of an basketball team for women. Basketball was not a sport that was familiar to women, and shocked the public. Evans was injured by a finger dislocated and a doctor refused treatment
