Carlos Juan Finlay celebrated with Google Doodle

The 180th birthday of Carlos Juan Finlay, the man who came up with the theory that yellow fever was spread by mosquitoes, has been celebrated with a Google Doodle. Finlay was a Cuban physician and scientist who did a lot of research into public health, particularly cholera and yellow fever. The search engine has replaced their usually coloured image with a picture of Finlay surrounded by lily pads, one of which has a mosquito on.
