About the Publication: Science was and remains one of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world. Published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the journal has reported the results of hundreds of studies that have marked vital advances in science and medicine. Publishing an account of penicillin very shortly after it had been produced in purified form suggests that the scientists who edited the journal immediately recognized the revolutionary nature of the drug.
