Data suggests that African Americans scientists began to trickle into faculty appointments at major research universities beginning in the early 1950s. Albert Wheeler was the first African American in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan (appointed 1952); James Jay, Microbiology,...
In addition, microbes interact with other living organisms, as studies have shown that these organisms communicate with each other (sociomicrobiology). Most people ask the question, what went wrong? What do we have to do to prevent the survival of microbes? The answer is both everything and ...
The best way to do that seemed to me to find an internship in a marine field station. After several hours on Google, I found the Shark Lab, applied, and got accepted as a volunteer for three months. Although until this point in time I hadn’t seen a shark in the wild, I ...
The multi-drug resistance mechanism leads to many failures in the course of chemotherapy which affects overall patient survival rate. It is slowly forcing scientists to find alternative biological compounds with anticancer properties. Therefore, the question arises whether we should reach for nature ...
Patient records will be immediately available online wherever in the world the patient may find themselves. Prescriptions and tests will be increasingly ordered, viewed, and analyzed via handheld digital assistants or bedside screens, facilitating diagnosis and helping to limit drug errors. Technological ...
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is growing up day by day in both community and hospital setting, with a significant impact on the mortality and morbidity rates and the financial burden that is associated. In the last two decades multi drug resistant
viruses are so closely embedded in the biochemical host cell machinery that it appeared for long almost hopeless to find Paul Ehrlich’s magic bullet (a substance that selectively targets a pathogenic organism, but not the host) against them. An alternative approach was the adoption of natural an...
Nevertheless, in an age of rapid climate change, biodiversity loss, and human population growth, weneed our remaining forestsmore than ever. The world must find sustainable ways to develop that do not involve destroying what forests are left. ...
