→Suggestion of agar: I deleted the part saying that, in the tuberculosis paper from 1882, Koch used agar "instead of gelatine" - he still used blood serum, and tried out agar but wasn't impressed. The next sentence (and reference) clarifies this.Tag: Visual edit

From a paper from 1884, not 1908 (the latter of which remain unpublished to this day). Also, I deleted the last part of the sentence as misleading (she didn't contribute to the developemnt of medical illustrations).Tag: Visual edit

→Suggestion of agar: I removed part of one sentence ("but one of her desserts served as the medium that her husband used to test the efficacy of agar as a gelling agent capable of culturing bacteria at high temperatures.") as this fact is unsubstantiated and the cited reference (which I also removed) was not adequate. I also specified in the same sentence "according to one source" (Hitchens & Leikind, 1939), as another source (Hesse, 1992) says something slightly different.Tag: Visual edit

→Comic books and video games: Well, I reformulated the passage about Shigeru Miyamoto's influence for Super Mario a bit. It seems he later negated that Alice in Wonderland was such a storng influence. The correct citation should be a 2005 BusinessWeek interview. Unfortunately I don't have access to it at the moment.Tag: Visual edit
