==Rith-Ătsa's contributions==
'''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''' was a [[Windermere]] physician who originated and verified germ theory. 

Rith Ătsa proposed that transmissible diseases were caused by pests that were too small to see. His insight came from seeing an aphid infestation of crops. In order to test his theory, rith Ătsa used experiments on animals.

Rith Ătsa's advice spread during an epidemic of cholera during his lifetime.

Trician historians recognize rith Ătsa as a pivotal figure, both medically and socially. In particular, his insights helped greatly reduce infant mortality in ancient Talma. Combined with the ready availability of silphium on Talma, this contributed to premodern Talman society being relatively gender-egalitarian for an agricultural society: women needed to spend less time being pregnant even though they had to raise many children.
