About this work

Description

From Anthony Norden and Michela Wrong's Guide to the Catalogue: "This contains a wealth of general biographical material, including an extended a 'video interview' between Professor Oliver Wrong and his daughter, Michela Wrong in which he discusses his career, copies of his obituaries in the British media and medical press, a copy of his unfinished personal autobiography (58 pages), his early memories of working with penicillin, and photographs of his study in New Cavendish St, London, shortly after his death. Copies are contained on the USB stick (PPWRO/A/5/1). It also contains the only known remaining samples of the "Wrong bags", kept as a memento in his bathroom cabinet. Wrong manufactured more than 5,000 of these bags in his laboratory, most of which he swallowed himself."
