Resistance is not futile / 999 WTF

Dr Lorena Fernández-Martínez (University of Glasgow) is getting her hands dirty hunting for new drugs to tackle antibiotic resistance. Could future medicines be hiding in the soil in your garden?

Professor Chris Cummins (The University of Edinburgh) asks whether linguistics can do anything to benefit the critically ill. Or indeed anybody.

14+ must be accompanied by an adult. ALL SEATING IS UNRESERVED AND LATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED
