Have you ever wondered what your milk goes through before it arrives at the shop? We all know the milk comes from a cow, but did you know that it is maintained at a chilly 4 degrees C until it reaches the dairy? To make the milk safe to drink a heat treatment process called pasteurisation is necessary.
What is Pasteurisation?
Simply - Pasteurisation is a treatment of heat that kills pathogenic organisms, which can cause fevers or worse. Louis Pasteur discovered in 1862 by heating milk to 63 deg C for 30 minutes, 99.9 % of the bacteria that was present would be destroyed.

They televise their two annual conferences on the web free of charge (although attending the conference for 4 days will cost the attendee $6000 per ticket !). As you can imagine the conferences are attended by some of the world’s most influential people.
