Person/Expert you admire

I admire Alexander Fleming, hi was a microbiologist, pharmacologist and botanist. He was born in Scotland in 1881, son of a peasant family.

 At the age of thirteen, he moved to London with a half-brother who practiced there as a doctor. He obtained a scholarship to St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in Paddington, He worked as a medical microbiologist at St. Mary's Hospital in London until the first world war, enlisting as an officer of the Royal Army Medical Corps in France.
Fleming's name is associated with important discoveries: lysozyme and penicillin, the first discovered in 1928 for an accident. Inspecting their crops before destroying them, he noticed that the colony of a fungus had grown spontaneously, Fleming interpreted that the fungi release an antibacterial substance, the lysozyne. Fleming later observed the plaques and found that the bacterial colonies that were around the fungus (Penicillium notatum), the penicillin.

Fleming did not patent his discovery, because he thought that thus it would be easier to spread an antibiotic.

He received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1945 and was a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

Fleming died in London in 1955.

I like Fleming, because I consider a great scientific, thanks to your observation and experiments has saved the lives of millions of people in the world.
