New gallery alert! Meet the Micro-Heroes of wastewater on the IMiLi website, led by Victor Hernando-Morales. Discover how tiny microbes clean our water: breaking down waste, removing nutrients, and neutralizing toxins. Invisible work, massive impact. grupos.eez.csic.es/imili/wp-con...

A top-down view of a circular agar plate inside a Petri dish, used for an antibiotic susceptibility test. The plate is covered in a uniform, hazy layer of bacterial growth. Approximately 13 small, white antibiotic discs are arranged in a circular pattern around the perimeter, with two additional discs near the center. Only one disc in the center shows a very small, faint "zone of inhibition" (a clear ring where bacteria haven't grown), while the others show no clear zone, suggesting the bacteria are resistant to most of the tested agents

When movies teach us to love microbes I have been teaching microbiology for more than 25 years. During that time, I have seen it all - students who arrive eager to learn and others who attend because they have no other choice. Over the ye...

Is aluminum in vaccines safe? A closer look at the science behind aluminum in vaccines shows it’s safe, well-studied, and used in tiny amounts that don’t pose health risks to children.

"Aluminum is sometimes added to vaccines as an adjuvant, to help the body’s immune system respond better. This means children need fewer doses to get full protection."

www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/i...

Does aluminum in vaccines harm kids? Aluminum in vaccines doesn’t build up or harm kids. Studies show it’s safe, quickly leaves the body, and doesn’t cause chronic health problems.

The small amount of aluminum used in vaccines is safe.

"One study published in Vaccine found that the amount in vaccines is much smaller than what people take in every day from food and the environment."
