## Caption

You probably remember Petri dishes from biology class, but have you ever thought about their inventor? Julius Richard Petri, born #OTD in 1852, was the German bacteriologist who invented the Petri dish. Working in a lab that grew bacteria in a dish under a jar, Petri had the idea to cover the dish in a clear lid—and the Petri dish was born.
