I'm always amazed by pili, that a structure was able to evolve with no purpose other than evolving further.

I know there are other examples of this, but it's so pure and simple in it's purpose and method.


For me what I find fascinating is the first eukaryotic cell. Two non conscious living processes with traits too good to ignore. Mitochondria too stronk

This off topic now though. As for this thread, I presented the problem, but don't have a realistic solution. I think somehow a global process should be in place that discourages the use of rampant antibiotic usage, especially in places like England, India, and China. These are preventative measures. As for the actual problem this will become more prevalent as time goes on. In USA patients have been dealt with successfully, for the most part, but other countries won't have our success. Additionally if the numbers continue to rise and despite the success we (U.S.) have had so far there will be plenty of deaths associated with this.

Researching alternatives to antibiotics is on my career possibilities list if I get into an M.D./Ph.D. program or just decide to do a Ph.D. This problem has been a long time coming. My old lab worked with silver ligands as an alternative to transplants and that was pretty cool.

Good man, the specialty requires smart minds. Don't sell out like I did and forfeit the PhD in exchange for a couple extra years

I'm a lab rat of the most extreme variety. Id trade more years for lab time, but that comes at the cost of GPA so I'm hoping a masters and a few publications will help them look past my low GPA.

It also comes at the cost of my wife getting mad, but she knew I was a lab rat before we got married :D
