People always get mixed up regardless, people refer to people by different names like nicknames or relationship like 'mom' so when you get to the name part its always some funny mix

Yep, either way if you are singing Happy Birthday to her, you likely know her well enough to know her name well and sing it with no problem.

The singers could be staff at a restaurant who are not familiar with her...

Tu is her first name, and it's "dear", not "to". So it would be "Happy birthday, dear Tu".

Note that in Chinese, the first character is the family name while the next ones are the given name. So "Youyou" would be the given name!

Naming customs in various places are very fun to learn. Did you know that in Iceland, the last name is the father's first name appended with "son" (male), "dottir" (female), or "bur" (non-binary)?

In Chinese, the first character (Tu) is the family name while the following character(s) are the given name (Youyou).

p.s. the "ou" sound in Chinese is pronounced more like an "o" rather than than an "ooh", so the joke doesn't really work (not quite, but it's close enough. I'm not very good at speaking Mandarin so take this with a slight grain of salt)

We can't acknowledge that, then we wouldn't be able to ignore her amazing discovery and make fun of her name instead!

One compound was particularly effective, sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua), which was used for "intermittent fevers," a hallmark of malaria.

Relatively easy to find herb. I have some in my tea cabinet, turns out I've been ruining it all along.

It's like that old joke about traditional herbal remedies.

You know what they called traditional herbal remedies that actually work?

Medicine.

Also left out of the headlines: she exhaustively tested thousands of traditional herbal remedies, not just one. She kept the one that worked.

the plant is called artemesia anna, which artemesins and deratives come from. plasmodium in some population are largely resistant to it now, but not the whole plant extract though, although its unclear how it overcomes resistance.
