Yo, what's up.
I'm slightly back and would be that one crazy uncle that no one knows who is related to or something if y'all would be okay with that.
I may have over reacted a bit…

@The-N-U-T-Cracker

Yo, I'm back!
Snorts powdered sugar in the corner

Snek Uncle, that’s not very good for you. Here, have an unlimited supply of all the love I can ever give instead

(You don’t mind if I call you Snek Uncle, do you?)

Not at all, I'm just feeling really masculine today!

Pretty goood, I'm writing an essay on how mistakes are a key part scientific discoveries/

Deleted user

YO!
I finished the essay!
Anyone wanna see a badly written essay?

Do you love figuring out something new? Have you ever been told you learn from your mistakes? Have you ever actually learned from your mistakes? If you answered yes, you may be interested in how people have learned from their mistakes and figured out something wonderful becuase of it! Mistakes are a key part of discovery. How else do you think Post-It-Notes jumped off the ground and became a best seller? How penicillin was found out?

To dive right in, penicillin, the drug that stops bacteria from growing, was found out from a careless mistake. In "The Discovery of Penicillin" (Source one), the author explained that "Alexander Fleming noticed a Petri dish containing a bacteria that had been mistakenly left open. Because of the accident, the dish was now contaminated by blue-green mold from an open window." To clarify, Alexander found the mold that had contaminated the bacteria had stopped the bacteria from growing. The author also wrote that "On the World War II battlefield, penicillin helped wounded soldiers fight fatal infections." In other words, this substance had helped injured soldiers keep fighting to protect our country and us from danger. Critics argue that penicillin is too unstable to use, but in reality, it helps many people fight infections and other things that put their life at risk.

On to another mistake that lead to a adhesive becoming a popular office supply. Why, Sticky notes of course! In 1968, Spencer Silver, a chemist who was researching a way to make bigger and better adhesives, came up with "Microspheres, which kept their stickiness and had a 'Removability characteristic,' allowing attached surfaces to be peeled apart easily." In other words, while trying to come up with a new adhesive, Silver came up with a supply that would be soon a must have across the country. You're probably saying "How does this count as a mistake?" Well, that was not the mistake, this was. "During his Wednesday choir practice, Fry would bookmark his hymnbook with pieces of paper, but by Sunday morning they would have fallen out." The author suggests that Fry used the microspheres with his papers as bookmarks, then, post it notes started to take off.

In conclusion, mistakes can and have led to scientific discoveries that have changed our world for the better. If we understand this, then we can learn from our own mistakes and help our world.
