New research suggests drought can stoke antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria — and that can have an impact on humans.

New research suggests drought can stoke antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria, and those genes can end up in human pathogens.

PathogenFinder2 is a new AI tool developed by researchers at DTU in Denmark, in collaboration with international partners, to ...

Most accounts of humanity’s origins, and our evolution since, have understandably put Homo sapiens center stage. It was our ingenuity, our tools, our cultural savvy that enabled our species to survive ...
