Charles Drew was a medical researcher born in 1904 who improved blood transfusion processes. He found that using blood plasma alone instead of whole blood for transfusions increased how long blood could be stored and lowered costs. Drew also founded the American Red Cross and helped advance blood banking through his research.

5.  Howhave explorers from history impacted
modern day discoveries impact your future?

6.  Pastexplorers impacted modern day
explorers by creating the resources that the
modern day explorers used to help the make
their discoveries because without the
resources modern day explorers had the
wouldn’t have been able to make their
discoveries. If the explorers hadn't did the
things they did we wouldn’t have some of
the things we do.

7.  James Blundell, did the first successful blood
transfusion on a human. His way was used
until Charles improved it in 1942.

8.  Charlesused James’ resources he left behind
to help him improve blood transfusions. Like
needles, syringes, and surgery tools to do
the transfusions.

9.  IfJames wouldn’t have done the first
successful transfusion Charles wouldn’t have
had anything to improve on.

10.  IfCharles wouldn't have been inspired by his
uncle he would have never improved the
blood transfusion and he wouldn’t have
founded the American Red Cross.
