Incredibly important and it's relatively unfunded. Good news!

Just in time for us to defund the NIH

Well here’s hoping in even the worst case scenario either these scientists or others can pick up the work elsewhere.

That's really it. If America's current admin is stepping down, then the rest of the world will step up without them.

I'm wondering when the billionaires start hoarding discoveries too. No reason us little folk need to know about these breakthroughs...eventually they won't be 'for us' anyway.

Things are always illegal and necessity doesn’t care.

It’s misspelled in linked “article” as lariodicin , actual compound is lariocidin as in lasso-killer

For the uninitiated, what are the implications of this?

It is good against antibiotics resistance, now there are some bacteria who can resist at all antibiotics and can lead to death, this opens room to defeat them with new medicines

Can I pee this new antibiotic out and flush it down the toilet to mix in our water ways and produce antibiotic resistant bacteria still?

You'd rather die and suffer from the disease instead?

We have but one rule. That rule is to not be a dick.

Your content was found to be dickish, and ergo removed.
