      You’re very welcome! The discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming is my inspiration. He was a very messy scientist in that his lab bench was always cluttered and messy, but if he hadn’t had a messy desk, he wold have never left some petri dishes and seen the Penicillin fungus which he found the first antibiotic in. I am a bit like him in that my lab bench is very messy, hoping I find something cool!

      Thank you for your questions! You’ve taught me a lot believe it or not! I’m the same as Ash, Alexander Fleming! I love that he discovered penicillin completely by accident! I used to work with a guy who would forget to put his plates with bacteria on into the incubator (needed so the bacteria can grow at the correct and at a constant temperature) and he would still have a perfect result the next day!
