Pesticides can have a negative impact on the environment and human health. For example, streptomycin can cause massive disruption to natural ecosystems and can encourage bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance. William Rooney explores the role of pesticides in our food and why we need alternatives.
Liam Rooney and Rebecca McHugh discuss the lesser known side of microbial co-operation and competition and how we can exploit this for our own benefit.
Sara Berent discusses the rise of antibiotic resistance, and efforts made by Glasgow students to raise awareness and funds.
The discovery of a new antibiotic and how it can potentially treat a previously hard to treat STD.
Gabriela De Sousa discusses the increasing rates of antibiotic resistance within humans and livestock.

@GlasgowGist @gsc1 @scottishscicomm @zoe_two_dots_ @UofGIHW Improving work cultures is only one aspect of improving accessibility in STEM. Despite keen interest in the sciences, people with disabilities have not always been supported in this career path. @jane_essex wrote more on this: https://tinyurl.com/yzc42efk
