As a species, we have a problem. Bacteria are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. Makes sense: Antibiotics kill off all the bacteria they can, but the remaining ones that somehow survive continue to grow and spread. Guess which gene they all have in common? That’s right, the one that makes them resistant to antibiotics. We’ve known this for years, but instead of accelerating, the work on new antibiotics is slowing down significantly. Why? Capitalism: It’s really expensive to develop new drugs, and once they’re developed, it’s hard to make a lot of money on them. PhageLab wants to…

“For 2017, the total solar eclipse passed over so many national parks and natural landscapes with very few cities in the path. So I created a poster modeled after the 1930s ‘See America’ national parks posters produced by the Works Progress Administration to educate Americans about the parks. I figured I was doing the same thing. Now, seven years later in 2024, this time the total solar eclipse is passing over major metropolitan areas. Over 30 million people will be living directly in the path of totality – that’s almost three times the total in 2017. So I wanted to make a…

Weeds can damage building foundations over time. That’s why many cities and towns use powerful herbicides containing glyphosate (the main ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup) to control weed growth on pavements, in parks and other public spaces. But glyphosate has become controversial in recent years. In 2019 Brighton proposed a ban on using the chemical weedkiller. But since that ban the weeds have not been systematically tackled and now, they are causing real problems. This has led to Brighton Council proposing to reintroduce the weedkiller once more. So, what are the problems with the weedkiller and how could it be…
