The confusion around the discovery of penicillin is interesting. It's similar to that of insulin: Banting and Macleod were given the Nobel prize for it, and each shared credit with his assistant, respectively Best and Collip; a lot of trouble and ill will. Papal conclaves must have been a tense time in Rome, and Europe in general...
ReplyDeleteOh, and that new music from Mozart is a wonderful discovery, but it ruins my complete Mozart cd collection!!
