Small World Initiative / Antibiotic Resistance / Crowdsourcing New Antibiotics / Inspiring Science Students
Description
Formulated at Yale University in 2012, the Small World Initiative is an
innovative program that encourages students to pursue careers in science
while setting up a unique platform to address the antibiotic crisis. It
centers around an introductory biology course in which students conduct
original hands-on field and laboratory research on soil samples in the hunt
for new antibiotic candidates.
