Hilary Koprowski (source) Born 5 Dec 1916 Polish virologist and immunologist who discovered the first vaccine against poliomyelitis which was based on oral administration of attenuated polio virus. In researching a polio vaccine, he decided to focus on the use of live viruses that were attenuated (rendered non-virulent) instead of the killed viruses that became the basis for the injections created by Jonas Salk. Koprowski viewed the live vaccine as more powerful since it entered the intestinal tract directly and could provide lifelong immunity, whereas the Salk vaccine required boosters. Also, taking a vaccine by mouth is easy, whereas an injection is more expensive and needs medical facilities. It was taken by the first child on 27 Feb 1950 and within 10 years was used for immunization on four continents.

In these stacks are millions of photos which tell the story of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was a time of triumphs and of terrible disasters. We meet those two impostors, first in America. Millions of people left Europe, fleeing poverty and oppression for the American dream. New railways opened a continent and new industries launched the world’s biggest economy. In both America and Europe science began to be systematically applied to industry. The demon of electricity was tamed, yielding power and instant communication - by telegraph and telephone; and factory mass production arrived, offering new mobility, new consumer goods and services and new kinds of fun. But it paved the way to world war, not once but twice. Economic progress became a form of rivalry between nations. The Road to Riches became a race. Economic nationalism took hold. It was the best of times and the worst of times.

cover about us join our mailing list My most memorable events at Steamboat both happened in 1980. In April of that year, I met my future husband there, of course we are now divorced but it was still memorable. Right after we met he took me to Steamboat to hear a friend of his play and it was the most mesmerizing electric night I ever spent listening to music in Austin. That friend of his was Stevie Ray Vaughan and I spent the whole night not being able to take my eyes off of him. Thanks for so much great music over the years! ~Katie Jung I'm sorry to hear about the Steamboat's closing. When I lived in Austin over ten years ago, I was a metal fan. I was especially appreciative of the stint of "Metal Mondays" at Steamboat. The Steamboat's atmosphere was classier than the usual metal venues, so I always enjoyed seeing the bands I liked there. The shows I most remember are Last Rite Jigsaw Mercury , and Dig . Thanks Steamboat for the metal memories. ~cn It broke my heart when I heard Steamboat was closing down on 6th Street. This place is such a perfect representative of what makes Austin so special ... the music and the abundance of venues that are eager to showcase upcoming and well established musicians. I've practically lived at this place the last couple years. Seeing
