Scientists have built a powerful new medicine that could stop a superbug in its tracks

The rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria has scientists and health professionals concerned about what our future could look like if we could no longer rely on antibiotics to fight common infections.

Now a new, super-powered antibiotic aims to fight rising resistance by attacking bacteria in new ways.

A team of scientists at the Scripps Research Institute in California announced Monday they had modified an antibiotic called vancomycin to make it exponentially more effective in fighting bacteria, according to a statement from TSRI.

Vancomycin has been around for 60 years and bacteria have only recently begun developing resistance to it, scientists said.

But with three modifications to the drug, the researchers found they could give the drug “a 1,000-fold increase in activity,” meaning that doctors would need to use less of it to treat infections. Read more (5/30/17)

Reblog if you ARE a woman in STEM, SUPPORT women in STEM, or ARE STILL BITTER about Rosalind Franklin not getting credit for discovering the structure of DNA and the Nobel prize going to Watson and Crick instead.

Group projects suck!

I got my Grant proposal marks back today, I was very happy with my grade but not with my partners grade. He didn't do anything throughout the whole project everything was left me to do. We both got firsts ( I got 78.5% and he got 70.5%) despite the fact that I wrote 2450 words of the 2500 word limit and he wrote 50! How is that fair?! I really hate group work!

18.5.17 || 11.10am || Genetics and Proteomics || T-minus 2 hours and 40 minutes until the first exam of the season so this is my view while I cram every last little piece of information into my brain as I can manage before I head off. This is the hardest exam of the three I have to do so I need to do good. Wish me luck study buddies!
