The Science Quiz is a daily feature on the e-paper, appearing three times a week on the Science page. This quiz tests readers’ knowledge of various scientific topics and includes a visual question related to historical figures in science.
In the latest edition of the quiz, one of the questions asked about Anopheles gambiae, the mosquito that transmits malaria, discovered by a British doctor in 1897. Other questions included the country with the highest number of malaria cases in Southeast Asia, the antimalarial drug that mosquitoes have become resistant to, and the country that launched the world’s first malaria vaccine in 2024 as part of their immunization program.
The visual question featured Albert Sabin, a chemist from 1939 who identified the insecticidal properties of DDT. This groundbreaking discovery earned him a Nobel Prize and paved the way for modern pest control methods. Readers are invited to test their knowledge of science and learn more about significant contributions to the field through this quiz.
The Science Quiz is an excellent resource for those interested in expanding their scientific knowledge and learning more about significant discoveries in history. With its engaging format and challenging questions, it is sure to keep readers engaged and interested in science every day except for Saturdays when it is not available on e-paper.
