Episode description
Natalie describes the short life and cool discoveries of Alice Ball.
(Fact Check - Natalie mentioned that people were isolated because the disease was "so contagious." But in fact, Hansen's Disease or Leprosy is not actually that contagious. However, people believed that it was contagious back in history. It also was very painful and disfigured people, so that's also why people who had the disease were isolated.)
