Contributions by Alexander Fleming

Alexander Fleming was a bacteriologist at St Mary's Hospital in London, where he discovered Penicilin. This is one of the most important contributions in the history of medicine and is also his greatest contribution to medical science.

The invention of the drug 'penicilin' came at the right moment for the world and was seen at that time(and even today) as a miraculous drug and also the greatest contribution to the history of medicine. One great contribution made through the invention of penicilin was the large number of lives saved during world war 2.With penicilin, many lives were saved, especially during World War 2 when the drug was invented at that time.Though the initial intention was to utilise the drug for war purposes, penicilin was eventually made available worldwide for anyone to use.

Another contribution Alexander Fleming made through the invention of the penicilin was the many diseases that could be treated with penicilin. Penicilin could be used to treat various infections such as urinary tract infections, meningitis, gonorrhea, syphilis, respiratory infections and even peumonia. The invention of peniclin was what that made it possible for all these diseases to be treated. In addition, penicilin is also used in surgeries, where it is used to prevent bacterial contamination of wounds before, during and after any surgeries.

All About Me

Alright, I'm making this blog not because i want to but because my school(Anderson Junior College) wants me to do it.

Now, some information about myself...
I am a guy currently studying in Anderson Junior College and is previously in Ang Mo Kio Secondary School and Chong Li Primary School for my secondary and primary school years respectively. My family includes my parents, my elder brother and me. Some of my hobbies are playing computer games and sports. In both my primary and secondary schools, i joined the badminton club and after i got into Anderson Junior College, i decided to have a change and joined the Squash club instead.

Now for some information about my experience in joining Anderson Junior College...
I joined Anderson Junior College in both the first and second intake and made quite a number of friends there. I remembered that during my first intake, I was so disappointed that I could not get into the Science stream but fortunately, I got into the Science stream in the second intake. Nevertheless, I did not quite regret getting into the Art stream initially as i made several good friends who are also in the same class as me in the second intake. In addition, it is thanks to the two bonus points that I got from joining Anderson Junior College in the first intake that made it possible for me to get into the Science stream. So, maybe i should be glad that i stayed to my decision of getting into Anderson Junior College in the first three months despite not being able to get into the stream that I want to.Alright then, this shall be all for my first post...
