The Search for Antibiotics (in caves)

Fascinating!

"An upcoming episode of the popular CBC show, The Nature of Things with Daivid Suzuki, follows scientists into British Columbia’s caves as they search for new antibiotics."

Click here to read the story on the Caving News page.

Added bonus:  The cursor acts like a flashlight on the background cave walls of the Caving News web page. Have fun!

That's all for now,
