A rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, and accidentally changing humanity (mostly) for the better.
We may imagine that science is a process of breakthroughs and light bulb moments. But in reality, science goes wrong 99% of the time.
Almost every idea a scientist comes up with is quickly disproved by a failed experiment or rival research. Science moves at a rate of inches per decade and we often like it that way. But occasionally, just occasionally, a complete fluke happens and changes everything as we know it.
From an untimely sneeze in a petri dish leading to the groundbreaking creation of antibiotics, to the incredible discovery of microwaves via melted chocolate, Accidental is a rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, and accidentally changing humanity for the better.
