In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered the green mould he was working with produced a substance that could kill many common bacteria that infect humans. He called this new, exciting substance "mould juice". Only after a couple of months, on 7 March 1929, did he name it penicillin.

Lynn Margulis, the biologist who worked on symbiosis in evolution, was born #OnThisDay in 1938. Her work, which asserted that features of living cells were once independent bacteria, was dismissed for years before becoming accepted thanks to genetic evidence. #WomenInSTEM

A very interesting watch. Great in humans but I don’t suppose it will ever replace the art of taking a stress free blood sample from a squiggly tiny kitten or unhandled stallion.

Some million people are walking today who would have been paralyzed if not for the #polio programme’s efforts to deliver vaccines to children around the world. BUT there is still work to be done. Now is the time to #EndPolio and avoid reversing the progress we’ve made.
