The Science Quiz is a weekly feature on the daily Science page. Every day except for Saturdays, readers can access the page in the e-paper. The quiz includes questions about various scientific topics and a visual question related to historical figures in science.
In the latest quiz, one of the questions asked about the mosquito that transmits malaria, discovered by a British doctor in 1897. Other questions included information such as the country with the highest number of malaria cases in Southeast Asia, the antimalarial drug that mosquitoes have become resistant to, and the country that launched the world’s first malaria vaccine in 2024 as part of their immunization program.
The visual question featured a chemist from 1939 who identified the insecticidal properties of DDT, a groundbreaking discovery that earned him a Nobel Prize. Readers were invited to test their knowledge of science and learn more about significant contributions to the field through this engaging quiz.
