The book reveals five groundbreaking discoveries about bacterial growth that emerged a century later than they should have, due to scientists' failure to critically evaluate a revolutionary method introduced by a New Jersey woman in a Berlin lab. Despite its potential, this method was not utilized by a Nobel Laureate, leading to the widespread adoption of a flawed paradigm that persists today. The narrative explores the implications of these findings on our understanding of microbiology and challenges long-held scientific beliefs.
