ALT1: ... that Howard Florey(pictured) developed
penicillin, an antibiotic credited with saving the lives of over 80 million people? Source: Woodward, Billy (2009). "Howard Florey-Over 80 million Lives Saved". In Popkin, Gabriel (ed.). Scientists Greater Than Einstein. Fresno, California: Quill Driver Books. pp. 233–262. ISBN 978-1-884956-87-4. OCLC 697068657.
Article is a newly promoted good article and certainly long enough. I see no neutrality issues, all statements in the article are referenced to inline citations with reliable sources. Earwig returns some false positives but this is due to the use of quotations. Both hooks are good, I personally think ALT1 may be preferable to emphasise the benefits of penicillin for those who may not be aware. QPQ is done, all images used in the article are correctly licensed and the image used with the hook is quite striking, so it would be great to see it used. Thanks
User:Hawkeye7 for your fantastic work in bringing this article up to scratch - when you have someone as prominent as Florey I can appreciate how difficult it is to bring together a multitude of sources into a single piece.

I like the article for promotion. I am unsure about the use of the image because of licensing.
