Storyboard Text
- Hey My name is Alexander Fleming I am a physician and microbiologist and today I'm going to tell you a little about me and show you my home. right next to me is my beautiful wife.
- Hello my name is Amelia Fleming I'm a Greek physician, bacteriologist, human rights activist and politician.
- A little background about me I studied in St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in the University of London. I was then dispatched to the army and served in the medical corps. I then came back and studied microbes and bacteria.
- I studied medicine, and particularly bacteriology, at the University of Athens. From 1938 to 1944 I worked as a bacteriologist at Athens City Hospital. Lets go check out our lab and show you guys around our home
- This is our lab here we conduct experiments and research on microbes and bacteria. Alexander will tell you more about it and the breakthrough he made in this exact lab.
- This exact lab is were I discovered world's first broadly effective antibiotic substance, which I named penicillin.
- Here I was growing lots of bacteria on agar plates. I saw that lots of my plates had mold growing on them. I then noticed a clear ring in the jelly around some of the spots of mold. I realized that something killed the bacteria covering the jelly. I then thought too myself maybe that same thing that killed the bacteria can kill bacteria on open wounds on human beings.
- Now let my wife tell you fellow individuals about her accomplishments.
- Thank you Alexander. I wrote A Piece of Truth, a personal account of my imprisonment and the trial of Alexandros Panagoulis. I than returned to Greece in 1974 and was elected to the Greek Parliament 3 times. I also campaigned for human rights working with Amnesty International and other organizations. All of that and writing and producing lab reports.
- Thank you so much for joining us and listening to a little about us and what we did.
- thank you for listening and it goes to show how the little things in life can become the biggest thing in your life. Bye!!
