I love science, and I love to read science articles in the news. There are so many cool discoveries going on. The weird thing is, though, that no one seems to care. Amazing science stories are reported all the time, but they don’t have the mass appeal of other items, like Charlie Sheen’s public meltdown, and so they seem to go largely unnoticed by the public. It’s a shame.
Maybe I can do a tiny bit to help spread the good news by sharing science articles that I find interesting. My favorite story from last year was this one. Long story short: scientists have discovered chemicals in the brains of cockroaches that can kill MRSA. It’s possible that this discovery could lead to a whole new class of antibiotics.
Is that awesome or what? From the lowliest creature on earth we might find a way to save human lives.
