Big Bacteria, Big Pharma, Big Problems: What You Should Know About Antibiotics

The Yale Science Diplomats and Science in the News are proud to announce this year’s Science in the News Series! Antibiotics are truly a big part of our lives, but it’s hard to know what they are and how they really affect us. How do they work, and what parts do they play in medicine, agriculture, and history? Three scientists will lay out the real roles of antibiotics, including prescriptions and drug resistance, public health issues, and what big pharmaceuticals and academia are trying to do with them. Come join us for an insightful evening, no health insurance necessary!  *Refreshments will be provided
Over the next several months, various local libraries in the New Haven area will be hosting groups of Yale scientists presenting relevant and current scientific knowledge in talks specifically oriented to those without formal scientific training or background.
Science in the News is a free, public lecture series given by Yale graduate students that aims to deconstruct complex scientific topics and explain them in a way that is easy to understand. Our goal is to make science fun and accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds. We want to provide people with a better understanding of the science underpinning many of the complex issues we hear about in the news every day.
