We need antibiotics, we rely on them. Much of humanity has survived because of them. But they could also lead to our demise if we’re not careful. Antibiotic resistance isn’t some far-off threat, it’s already a part of our guts and our society, and it’s not going away. 

This week on Orbitals join host Samantha Jones, antimicrobial drug discovery researcher Dr. Peg Riley, and Chemical and Engineering News reporter Kerri Jansen to learn about how scientists are trying to tackle antibiotic resistance, and the power that we hold as consumers.
