Slushball Life Hundreds of millions of years ago, a carapace of ice may have periodically covered the entire planet. New research, however, indicates that microbes seem to have thrived in certain places that they should not have during that time, leading scientists to conclude that the snowball was more slushy than frozen solid. |

A Study on Antibiotic Resistance Shows That Bacteria Aren't Just Out To Help Themselves Microbes that are resistant to the drug protect their weaker kin in the colony, HHMI researchers have found. The discovery upends traditional notions of antibiotic resistance and offers a target for new drugs against bacterial infections. |
