Antibiotics - one of humanity’s greatest achievements, but invented by microbes.
Join biologist and author, Liam Shaw , on Thursday 11th September at 7pm , as he chats about his new epic narrative of scientific discovery, Dangerous Miracle .
Since their advent, antibiotics have saved millions of lives, marking one of the greatest medical advances in our history. Dangerous Miracle weaves together the grand arc of the evolution of antibiotics over millions of years with a history of the past century: first as we mined the earth for naturally occurring antibiotic molecules, then as we learned to synthesise our own.
