1. Alexander Fleming Sir Alexander Fleming (6 August 1881 – 11 March 1955) was a Scottish biologist and pharmacologist. "When I woke up just after dawn on September 28, 1928,I certainly didn't plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the world's first antibiotic, or bacteria killer," Fleming would write later, "But I guess that's exactly what I did.“ Sir Alexander Fleming (6 august 1881-11 martie 1955)-biolog si farmacist. “Cand m-am trezit in zorii zilei de 28 sept.1928,nu visam ca voi revolutiona toata medicina prin descoperirea primului antibiotic din lume, sau ucigasul bacteriilor…Dar cred ca exact asta am facut”

2. Alexander Fleming Fleming's accidental discovery and isolation of penicillin in September 1928 marks the start of modern antibiotics. Descoperirea accidentala a lui Fleming si izolarea penicilinei in septembrie 1928 marcheaza debutul antibioticelor moderne. Aşadar, aportul lui Fleming la descoperirea penicilinei a fost foarte important, dar nu i se poate atribui meritul în totalitate. În schimb, cu siguranţ ă, el a descoperit singur în anul 1921 o alt ă substanţ ă, o enzim ă natural ă care distruge bacteriile - lizozim. În cazul lizozimului, descoperirea a venit în urma cercet ă rilor efectuate asupra propriilor mucozit ă ţi. Aceast ă substanţ ă apare în secreţiile omului dar şi în afara organismului uman şi are propriet ă ţi antibacteriene.1921

4. David Livingstone Livingstone was a Scottish missionary and one of the greatest European explorers of Africa, whose opening up the interior of the continent contributed to the 'Scramble for Africa'. David Livingstone was born at Blantyre, south of Glasgow on 19 March 1813. At 10 he began working in the local cotton mill, with school lessons in the evenings. In 1836, he began studying medicine and theology in Glasgow and decided to become a missionary doctor. In 1841, he was posted to the edge of the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. In 1845, he married Mary Moffat, daughter of a fellow missionary. Livingstone became convinced of his mission to reach new peoples in the interior of Africa and introduce them to Christianity, as well as freeing them from slavery. It was this which inspired his explorations. In 1849 and 1851, he travelled across the Kalahari, on the second trip sighting the upper Zambezi River. In 1842, he began a four year expedition to find a route from the upper Zambezi to the coast. This filled huge gaps in western knowledge of central and southern Africa. In 1855, Livingstone discovered a spectacular waterfall which he named 'Victoria Falls'. He reached the mouth of the Zambezi on the Indian Ocean in May 1856, becoming the first European to cross the width of southern Africa.
