How would you interpret "From Penicillin to Post-Genomics"??
My teacher gave us this topic without further explaining. He said we can interpret it our own way.
What is the best adn most suitable interpretation??
Pls dont give rubbish like 'go figure out urself'. Thanks.

From bullock cart to jet planes to spacecrafts the inventions have moved and in medicines too from penicillin which was considereda major break through in controlling may diseases and development of antibiotics today we are talking of genes and corrections to the human even when in mothers womb .
May be we may finally succeed in creation of any form of life and change it too but is it safe to humanity . The progress is so great.
It is a great leap forward for mankind. You can develop on these lines.

Well, if you figure that penicillin was discovered in like 1928 (27?) and it was an accident. Then you consider that 78+ years later, we are using this approach to help discover treatment for infection. One could help tie the two different approaches together and discuss where we were, where we are and possibly where we might go. Speculation is a start, ask a question, then see where that path takes you.
Good Luck!

I'm not sure at what academic level you are studying so my references may not be quite suitable for you.
