Louise Casper is a professor who is almost at retirement age.
She is 59 years old.
Focus on Field Work
Her main work is collecting and studying tiny life forms like mold and spores in the field.
She loves taxonomy, which means she sorts and groups these tiny creatures by their types.
Seen as Unimportant
Many people think her research is boring and not useful.
Because of this, she does not get much money to support her studies.
She only keeps her job because Bruno de Médicis supports her.
From Overlooked to Famous
When the Black Plague caused trouble, everything changed for Louise.
She had been quietly growing actinomyces, a kind of bacteria called Streptomyces, in her lab.
They can make antibiotics, which can fight many kinds of infections, including the Black Plague.
Suddenly, her work became very important, and people started to pay attention to her.
