I know that guy. He is none other than Alexander Fleming. The father of modern medicine. I think that was his title. It has been a long time since I studied that back in my science class.

yes thats Alaxande flemming , the founder of antibiotics. he id it while experiments when he contaminated one of the petriplates where he was culturing one type of the micro organism. Thats when he found an empty zone forming and he doubtfully dicverred the antibiotic character of penicillium. He thus called it penicillin. By the way r u a microbiology student. i DIDI MY GRADUATION AND POST GRADUATION IN MICROBIOLOGY BUT NOW WORKING AS A MANAGER AT IBM.
