Howard Florey - Maker of the Miracle Mould
The story of penicillin - the first antibiotic used successfully to treat people with serious infectious diseases - begins with a bit of luck. Alexander Fleming, a British scientist, noticed in 1928 that mould had prevented the growth of bacteria in his lab. But the main plot of the story involves the rediscovery of penicillin 10 years later by an Australian scientist born one hundred years ago this year. Howard Florey and his dedicated team's systematic, detailed work transformed penicillin from an interesting observation into a life saver

Ingrid On Ice
Ingrid becomes a 1998 wintering medical officer at one of the Australian Antarctic bases. There, she keeps a diary sharing her experiences. "Running my own little antarctic medical practice with the added responsibilities of ongoing medical training of the others, medical research, even sewerage and water testing and sending data to the Australian Radiation Laboratory to name but a few, is satisfying and fun. I'm down with a fantastic group of people in an incredibly special place. And you wouldn't believe how much there is to see, learn and do around here"
