Aged Scientist Keeps Working at 78 in Search for Antibiotic
At 78, University of Wisconsin botanist Dr. Duggar refuses retirement to continue soil sampling for a universal antibiotic. His 50-year career evolved from botany to drug discovery, aided by former students who hired him as a consulting scientist. He has tested thousands of soil samples, identified a precursor called A-377, and remains driven by the chance to find a treatment for tuberculosis and other infections, while pursuing golf, gardening, bowling, and time with his 13 grandchildren.
