    We dive into the story of Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin. Contrary to popular belief, the story of penicillin is not one of just pure luck, but also a story of scientific perseverance, dedication and keen scientific intuition. You will have the chance to be fascinated by hearing Alexander Fleming himself talk about penicillin, and we will explore some of the untold stories on penicillin’s discovery: Who were the men that helped Fleming achieve his dream for penicillin? What is the connection of the famous D-Day with penicillin? And did you know that.. a cantaloupe melon.. played an important role in the use of penicillin in World War 2? Coming up.. on DrugTalk!
