the scientific knowledge help the building of the panama canal because : fewer workers got sick from malaria and yellow fever

Back then, the building of panama canal was stunted because a lot of workers were injected by the disease and causing them unable to work. Colonel Gorgas , the chief medical officer appointed for the project read some discoveries regarding the treatment of the diseases and managed to cure a lot of workers

hope this helps
