Today’s Badass Jew #4 is Carl Sagan.
“Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is a proof that humans are capable of magic.”

Today’s Badass Jew #3 is Karl Landsteiner, who discovered and distinguished different blood groups.
World Blood Donor Day is a day dedicated to “thanking and celebrating voluntary non-remunerated blood donors”. It occurs on June 14, the birthday of Karl Landsteiner, the creator of the ABO blood group system. The first day was held in 2005.
Karl Landsteiner (1868–1943) is noted for having first distinguished the main blood groups in 1901, having developed the modern system of classification of blood groups from his identification of the presence of agglutinins in the blood, and having identified, with Alexander S. Wiener, the Rhesus factor, in 1937, thus enabling physicians to transfuse blood without endangering the patient′s life.
With Erwin Popper, he discovered the polio virus, in 1909. In 1930 he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He was awarded a Lasker Award in 1946 posthumously.
