When I woke up just after dawn on Sept. 28, 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic, or bacteria killer. But I guess that was exactly what I did.”</p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot agree with this idea more. I always tell my students that just because your research did not result in finding what you were looking for, this does not mean that you did not find anything. To go even further, I would submit that the purpose of research is not to find answers, it is to find better questions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
