Who Was Dr. Wu Lien-teh? Google Doodle Celebrates Surgical Face Mask Pioneer
On 3/10/21 at 4:51 AM EST
Dr. Wu Lien-teh is celebrated in today s Google Doodle on what would have been his 142nd birthday. The Chinese-Malaysian epidemiologist invented a surgical face covering that is considered the precursor to the N95 mask, which is widely used today to combat the spread of COVID-19.
Wu was born on this day in 1879, to a family of Chinese immigrants in Penang, Malaya, which is modern-day Malaysia. Wu became the first student of Chinese descent to earn his MD from Cambridge University before joining China s Imperial Army Medical College as vice director in 1908.
