Fleming. with penicillin.
Here is a quote:.
One reporter asked the English microbiologist Alexander.
Fleming's how he discovered penicillin.
- In my life I have always had bad luck - a heavy sigh, and began a scientist. - In.
a child I was sick a lot and dreamed of becoming a doctor, but my parents -.
poor farmers - do not have the money to realize my dream. Then they.
altogether ruined, and we moved to London.
- And there is your dream come true: you came to the university?.
- Yes, but it took me only because I was a good swimmer. because of.
regular training and competition time for study is almost.
remained, and most that I promised the future - is a modest.
position in some provincial town.
- And then your talents are appreciated?.
- Yes, but Professor White invited me to his laboratory just because.
that he needed a physically strong Assistant. Professor does not like.
my talent and my height.
- And in his lab did you manage to make a remarkable discovery?.
- Yes, but helped in the next failure. When I experimented, blew.
strong wind, opened the window, and the wind blowing in my petri dishes.
Unknown mold spores. Naturally, the experiment was flawed, and.
I threatened to big trouble. In desperation, I decided to take a closer.
look at the uninvited ' guests ' and discovered penicillin.
- And here you are finally lucky?.
- Yes, but first colleague nicknamed penicillin ' dubious potion '.
and I - ' medieval alchemist '. Only during the Second World War.
revealed excellent healing properties of a new drug.
- And did you get the deserved fame?.
- Yes, but when? .
war all have forgotten who did it. So in 1945 I could hardly.
sought out to give the Nobel Prize.
