Louis Pasteur made critical breakthroughs in understanding how germs cause illness and in developing treatments and vaccines for rabies and other diseases. He developed a technique for heating wine, milk, and other beverages that protects them from spoiling. He also saved the French silk industry by unraveling the mysterious diseases that were killing the silkworms. Heralded in his lifetime as the greatest scientist of his age, Pasteur was also a difficult man who was accused of taking credit for the work of his assistants.
