So, in the 1970s, Dr. Catherine Waddell Takara and other professors at the University of Hawaii discovered the records of Alice's research and played an instrumental role in ensuring her achievements were recognized. This sparked a broader movement and universities, medical historians, and the scientific community also began acknowledging Ball's work and correcting their own historical records.
Alice's influence continued to grow. In 2016, she was named as one of the most influential women in Hawaii history by Hawaii Magazine. And in 2017, the Alice Augusta Ball Endowed Scholarship was established to support students pursuing degrees in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, or microbiology.

And I love that last sentence that you just said, because I think it's so true that there's so much to learn from history and uncover from history. There's a lot of things, even I just think of things in our own lifetime that we maybe grew up learning as a child, but are changing. And the first one that comes to my mind, and I think probably to a lot of people's minds
