Science is a bottomless well of some of the most amazing things this universe has to offer. There is so much amazing science and engineering that gets done, but most often the only ones who get to experience it first hand are those in expensive labs in universities. This channel aims to explore as much of fields of science and engineering as possible by showing real experiments and research being done in a fun and accessible way. While the goal is to show that even very hard science can be done in a DIY way, some projects will use some of the fancier toys that while less accessible, opens a broader range of projects that can be done. We cover everything from genetic engineering and tissue culture, to nuclear physics, to machine engineering, to chemical synthesis and more.

Well it turns out that more often than not, they're grown rather than synthesized chemically. The first such antibiotic was penicillin, discovered in 1928 by Alexander Flemming. Penicillin had a long and winding history that lead to it's eventual discovery, but even after it was discovered, it took more than a decade to be industrialized. Today we're going to recreate the process of growing and extracting penicillin to see how this historical process that changed the world, works. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Special thanks to reshape biotech for sending us their amazing timelapse system https://www.reshapebiotech.com/ ___________________________________________________________________________________ Support the show and future projects: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thethoughtemporium Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/thoughtemporium ______________________________________________________ Our Social Media Pages: Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thethoughtemporium Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thethoughtemporium/ Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/thethoughtemporium.bsky.social Website: http://thethoughtemporium.com/ Newsletter: https://thethoughtemporium.ca/pages/newsletter
