Leadership Monday

Did you know soil research helped lead to a treatment for childhood cancer?

H. Boyd Woodruff, who was involved with Alpha Zeta while studying at Rutgers, discovered actinomycin, the first antibiotic discovered at the university. His work showed how studying soil microbes could open new paths in medicine. Actinomycin has been used to treat Wilms disease, a childhood cancer.

Woodruff’s story reminds us that curiosity in agriculture can make a difference far beyond the field.
