Soft cover. Etat : New. Booklet, 11 pp., illustrated. Penicillin and Luck is based on a talk given by Norman Heatley at Rockefeller University in 1989 on the role of luck and chance in the development of penicillin. Norman Heatley was a key member of the Oxford team under Howard Florey that developed the life-saving drug penicillin during World War 2. Under the severe privations of wartime Britain, Heatley's inventiveness and ingenuity in extracting and purifying penicillin (using, for example, bedpans from the Radcliffe Infirmary to grow the mould artificially) produced enough of the drug to use in the first clinical trials on humans in 1941. The team then shared its knowledge with American pharmaceutical companies, enabling them to mass-produce the drug in time for the final stages of the war. The stone memorial outside the Oxford Botanic Garden commemorating the work of the penicillin team concludes with the words: "All mankind is in their debt.". N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-016
