"Before the discovery of penicillin, my mother's ten year old brother died from a kick in the knee. My grandmother used to talk to me about her beloved son, an uncle I never met. Of course, nowadays he would live, but the fascinating quest for new life-enhancing, life-saving drugs continues. This has been a fantastically interesting series to work on, particularly since my last foray into the world of science was at school!"
