Go watch "Forgotten Genius" a NOVA documentary on Percy Julian, who in 1931 became the 4th African American in history to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry. Julian's story is not only an inspirational one of triumphing against great odds and adversity, it is a story of Inspirational Medicine.

Among Julian's more notable achievements include identifying a plant component that could sooth pain and ease heart palpitations, synthesizing the alkaloid Physostigmine a treatment for glaucoma, accidentally discovering a way to create Stigmasterol from Soybean oil which could then be converted into the pregnancy hormone Progesterone, and providing an inexpensive way to mass produce the steroid Cortisone which could ease the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

This NOVA documentary is a 2 hour program and is divided into 13 chapters. You can choose to view it in 3 formats including Quicktime video (.mov), RealPlayer video (.rv), or Windows Media Player video (.wmv) which is available for both high and low bandwidth connections.
