The historical consequences of not updating your lab notebook 🫣
Every biologist knows the story of Fleming's chance discovery of penicillin. But is it true?
Here, with @asimovpress.bsky.social, I write about inconsistencies in the canonical story, and explore a few alternative theories about what really happened in that St. Mary's lab in the summer of 1928.

Incomparable is a word used too easily when someone dies but there isn’t anyone else to whom Tom Lehrer, who has died aged 97, could be compared (apart from to say that compared to Lehrer they were rubbish). Iconoclast, wit, verbal Gymnast, terrific musician. RIP.
