If you had a crystal ball in 1928 and you could peer into the future of any scientific discovery, you would have been screaming to the world, “Guys, GUYS! OVER HERE! <i>This</i> one!” [pointing furiously at Fleming&#x2F;Penicillium]<p>&gt; A thing that keeps me up at night is that there is almost certainly, today, something which might not be shaped like penicillin but has a similar level of impact, and which is really sweating the next thousand dollars.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;patio11&#x2F;status&#x2F;1192006436852645888" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;patio11&#x2F;status&#x2F;1192006436852645888</a>
