    Little-known Hungarian plant physiologist who figured out how to get a plantlet from a tissue-culture callus. A source says he committed suicide to escape fascism in September 1939 - unable to find the exact historical circumstances - someone who knows Hungarian and knows the history should be able to add to this entry.

  26. 🧐 Have you ever heard of the “great shipworm epidemic” that ravaged European ships?

    If not, then we suggest you read what Amedeo Policante published in The Sociological Review Foundation's magazine.

    This ‘worm’, which is actually a bivalve mollusc, has been a headache for global shipping companies and, more recently, for the maintenance of submarine cables, on which we are highly dependent.
