Original – Microbiologist Alexander Fleming in his laboratory, 1943
Reason
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928. This photo shows him in his laboratory around 1943, a few years before receiving the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1945 along with Florey and Chain who established penicillin's therapeutic application. The photo shows him in a hands-on pose which is hard to come by for scientists.
