Sir Ronald Ross

Sir Ronald Ross KCB KCMG FRS FRCS (13 May 1857 – 16 September 1932) was a British medical doctor who received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1902 for his work on the transmission of malaria, becoming the first British Nobel laureate, and the first born outside Europe. His discovery of the malarial parasite in the gastrointestinal tract of a mosquito in 1897 proved that malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes, and laid the foundation for the method of combating the disease. He was a polymath, writing a number of poems, published several novels, and composed songs. He was also an amateur artist and natural mathematician.

In 1926 he became Director-in-Chief of the Ross Institute and Hospital for Tropical Diseases, which was established in honor of his works. He remained there until his death.

कक्षा 12 मे जीव विज्ञान पसंद था फिर भी Talod कॉलेज से रसायण विज्ञान के साथ B.sc किया। बाद मे स्कूल ऑफ सायन्स गुजरात युनिवर्सिटी से भूगोल के साथ M.sc किया। विज्ञान का छात्र होने के कारण भूगोल नया लगा फिर भी नकशा (Map) समजना और बनाना जैसी पूरानी कला एवम रिमोट सेंसिंग जैसी नयी तकनिक भी वही सीखी। वॉशिंग पाउडर बनाके कॅमिकल कारखाने का अनुभव हुआ तो फूड प्रोसेसिंग करके बिलकुल अलग सिखने को मिला। मशरूम के काम मे टिस्यु कल्चर जैसा माईक्रो बायोलोजी का काम करने का सौभाग्य मिला। अब शिक्षा के क्षेत्र मे हुं, अब भी मै मानता हूँ कि किसी एक क्षेत्र मे महारथ हासिल करने से अलग-अलग क्षेत्रो मे सामान्य ज्ञान बढाना अच्छा है। Follow his work at www.zigya.com
