Oh, you did a regular search? I went page by page using the "find" function.
If we could open up all the pages at once -- which I believe we could on the old site -- we could find the first reference in a second.

I just tried the regular "search" function and all I got was my post from an hour ago. :laugh:

I just took a random stab on page 160 and go this, from April 2017.

I'm currently reading one from a month or two ago about how science isn't all the fun stuff about major sweeping fascinating ideas. It's about spending your entire 40-year career performing tiny little incremental experiments on miniscule things.
That's kind of what this is like. Though this probably wouldn't take 40 years.

I read that one.
Right now I'm reading President Obama's article about how the Affordable Care Act got passed.

2016, page 138

I felt a personal connection to the story when I read that streptomycin, "the first cure for tuberculosis," apparently was discovered in 1943. That was the year my grandfather died of tuberculosis.
