30 Minute Expert

Penicillin


Listen Later

In today's episode, Zack has 30 minutes to become an expert on... Penicillin! Ah, penicillin... we've all heard of it - most of us have ingested it! But where did it come from? Listen to hear the tale of Alexander Fleming and how his lack of hygiene may have saved some of our lives. Come for the mold talk (is blue cheese penicillin? Spoiler Alert - NO!), stay for the SWAT team bursting balloons analogies. 

Highlights include:

- another happy accident discovery

- How Dr. Cecil George Paine saved babies!

- Super-infections (oh boy...)
