AHA
The conviction that hashtag#serendipity can be, if not systematized, at least harnessed for augmented scientific discovery, has fueled my (obviously nonlinear) professional trajectory. As we saw with Fleming's "accidental" discovery of penicillin, the hashtag#AHA moment does not happen in a vacuum: the mind needs to be ready for the discovery (or "pasteurized" for chance to favor you). While researching other examples of serendipitous drug discovery, I came across an article about systematizing serendipity for cardiovascular drug discovery. It does not fully deliver on its promise, but I can't resist sharing that it is published in AHA journals. In case you are wondering, AHA is the American Heart Association.
