Natural selection is when organisms that are better suited to the environment are able to re...

University of Washington biologist Carl Bergstrom, PhD, who studies evolution and medicine, said in an interview. “The key point for me is that in antibiotic resistance, the changes happen in people who are on antibiotics,” he said, while antigenic escape by SARS-CoV-2 occurs in people who...
Describe the process which drives antibiotic resistance. Discuss the importance of invasiveness to the establishment of an infection. Explain the application of nanobiotechnology in the treatment of infectious diseases. How would you start your investigation concerning the possible source ...
Butthe deep stateisn’t dead yet. They still run large groups of operatives inside the State Department, the FBI and even the DOJ. And traitorous globalist criminalBarack Obamasits on top of all these groups, running “the resistance” from his command bunker near the Capitol in D.C. Make...
