How to Fight Superbugs

Drug-resistant bacteria is rapidly outpacing the development of new drugs. A 2016 report, The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, estimates that globally 700,000 people die each year from drug-resistant bacterial infections. Part of the problem is that developing new drugs has become increasingly difficult. That’s why Andrew Roberts, a British bacterial scientist, is returning to a more primitive form of drug research— with a 21st century twist. Roberts started a crowd sourcing campaign to enlist people from all over the world to send him bacteria samples in the hopes of finding new antibiotics.

I think everyone is over blowing these special elections. They're not a good indicator for what 2018 races will be like.

Didn't Australia just announce they would stop participating in airstrikes after the U.S. downed that jet?

An EU Parliament committee has proposed implementing end-to-end encryption for all digital communications and banning so-called “backdoors” which allow law enforcement guaranteed access to private data.

REEEEEEEEEEEEE
WE MUST STOP THEM

Now we know why the UK wanted to leave the EU so badly

why are we not murdering these people?

Are you illiterate?

I know but still holy fuck learn to read you fucking retards

ffs

I was trying to imply that the anglos want to leave the EU because they want to keep reading our emails

Yeees and the UK governments official stance is anti encryption.
was pointing out why Theresa is for brexit as it will allow her to push surveillance methods that the EU would ban

Trump's most recent tweet and the media beating the war drums all day today does not bode well. A ground war with North Korea would be an absolute fucking disaster and Trump is batshit crazy enough to do it.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the current understanding of quantum entanglement is that once the particle is interacted with (needed in order to observe it) it settles into one spin but you cannot influence which spin that is and so cannot use entanglement for communication as that would be faster than light communication.

I think the article explains it waaaay better than I ever could

This is what happens when your smartest STEMlords aren't being whisked off by wall street firms to count money for rich assholes. Western tech is basically dead.

A war with North Korea has literally no downsides. Not only will it liberate the country from the most oppressive, abnoxious regime in human history, but any civilian deaths will basically be euthanasia.

I know you sound optimistic but i don't think North Korea can liberate all of America on it's own.

What you mean besides the nuking of a metropolitan area?

It would be nice with this not being limited on space for you to add short little sections on what you think of each article

i sunno dude, i don't hink nk can liberate the people of america

Wait who is liberating who here?

...

you have been brainwashed. north korea is not any sort of hell on earth it's just a somewhat poor and authoritarian country
