Many people talk about the "Golden Age of Antibiotics", but I hadn't seen it visualized properly. Just how many types of antibiotics were discovered during that time? So, I visualized it myself!

Great graphic. The development of antibiotics changed the world. I was told many times about my grandparents devastation as my uncle died at 13 of spinal meningitis, just as penicillin became available. It wasn't available in southern Montana yet. They tried to have it delivered, but too late.

Thank you! Oh that's really sad to hear. It's a big interest of my work to try to find ways to speed up medical innovation & improve its quality, and real life stories of how it affects people are gut-wrenching. It's hard to imagine now living without treatments like it!
