Fleming’s Lucky Plate

Join Ben & Pia on an exciting journey back to 1928 London to meet the tiny blue-green visitor that changed medicine! In this episode we follow Alexander Fleming from a quiet lab discovery to a global medical miracle. Perfect for curious listeners who love science, teamwork, and real-life adventures. You will hear clinking glass, ticking clocks, and the moment a forgotten plate became history. Historical Fun Fact: Fleming first discovered penicillin after noticing a clear ring around a mold colony on a petri dish — he called that a zone of inhibition! Did you know? Could a mold that drifted in through an open window really become the first modern antibiotic that saved millions during World War II? Which story do you want to hear next?
