Public Service
In 1967, I founded the International Foundation of Microbiology with the aim of providing public understanding of Microbiology. The Foundation is based on the premise that for controlling and managing infectious diseases within a population, public awareness of the role of microbes in health and disease should be the first order of priority
I also founded the International Institute of Biochemical and Biomedical Technology (IIBBT) with the aim of consolidating emerging scientific knowledge and skills of this rapidly growing field so the students could get a better grasp of this field and not get discouraged by the mass and the pace of the accumulating information. See: www.iibbt.com
Lately I have Founded, The Center for Integrative Learning with the aim of consolidating fragmented knowledge of art, science and humanities so the students could visualize all of our knowledge as an overview thus understand and apply it better to their professions and day to day life better. See www.centerforintegrativelearning.org.
This Center also operates a Science Skills Center with the aim of reviving hands-on knowledge of science the way we used to teach it during the fifties and the sixties of the past century and also to sift, sort and consolidate the essence of science methodology, removing redundancies from it, thereby reducing it to mere 150 simple concepts and skills so the students can get a bird’s eye view of how science is actually done and not the way it is written in the books. This is a systematic way of teaching science which enables a student to learn science using all the necessary instruments that scientists use to do science.
The main aim of this center is to rekindle interest in science by providing integrated hands-on, skills based science education in a laboratory setting.
International Activities
I was sent on assignment by the University of Illinois as an advisor in Microbiology to the University of Azerbaijan, Tabriz, Iran. April to June, 1977.
There, in addition to my assigned role as an advisor I also came to know about the educational program that the Shah had started wherein he established a girls and a boys school separately in practically every part of the country even remote villages and manned such schools with young people who, instead of fulfilling their required two years of military duty could choose to go to the schools instead and teach there for two years. These same schools in the night became schools for women and men respectively. Such teachers were assigned to a special army the Shah initiated and called it the Sipa-he-Danish or the wisdom army.
I was able to meet up with one of the wisdom soldiers, a young girl who invited me and my wife to visit her village and see the program in action. We went there with my microscope and showed to the students germs, first from my mouth and after a bit kidding as if I did not brush my teeth that day, they also wanted to see what was in their mouths.
After that I asked them to get some water from the little stream which ran down the street to see what was in it. This was the stream where they watered their animals and also washed their clothes etc.
After seeing what was in that water, a young boy who had sat quiet throughout the demonstration stood up and said “so that is why my mother is always sick”.
Need I say more what one microscope can do to change the health and hygiene habits of a people in a hurry!
The word soon spread to the neighboring villages and I was asked to visit their villages also. Surprisingly so much can be done for the health and well being of the developing countries by one simple demonstration with a microscope.
I must also add that Iran was not a developing country by any stretch of the imagination.
They had a five thousand year old culture and their eating and hygiene habits were impeccable.
They ate only boiling hot food and also relied on fermented food such a yogurt etc. where the high acidity prevents any transmission of pathogenic bacteria.
