  BY  BÁRBARA PINHO 6 APRIL 2021 Weeds and other plant pests can no longer be controlled by chemicals as easily as they could. Bárbara Pinho talks to the scientists finding solutions Fleming first called it ‘mould juice ‘. Returning from vacation, the Scottish bacteriologist saw peculiar blobs of mould in his Petri dishes  of Staphylococcus . There were no bacteria around these spots; it appeared as if ‘mould juice’ had cleared the way. It did, and it got a sophisticated name afterwards – penicillin, the first antibiotic. Penicillin was mass-produced in 1941, yet nature fought back soon after. In 1942, penicillin-resistant  Staphylococcus aureus  was discovered. Today, rapid bacterial evolution and cross-resistance to multiple antibiotics raise fears of a world where antibiotics no longer work. Multiple public campaigns and initiatives have taken conversations of antibiotic resistance everywhere. However, another resistance-based threat is lurking right under our noses, literally on ou

A Nova Scotia resident thought they'd spotted someone breaking indoor dining rules during lockdown. By   Jelisa Castrodale   On Wednesday morning, the entire province of Nova Scotia went into a four-week lockdown, which again closed schools, made masks mandatory in office buildings, and required all non-essential retailers to close. "This is not the time for half measures," Premier Iain Rankin  said . "We need strong, quick action to drive this virus out of our province. If we took an incremental approach, we'd likely end up in the same place. We need to regain control over this virus."  The Halifax Regional Police has asked locals to call them if they see anyone failing to adhere to the coronavirus-related restrictions, whether that's a person not wearing a mask in public, or a restaurant allowing customers to eat in their indoor dining areas. Someone called to report a suspected violation at the Ardmore Tea Room in Halifax, and owner Mike Cormier was a

  by KRISHNA THAKKER American consumers continue to embrace online grocery shopping with open arms after the coronavirus pandemic changed the way we shop, live, and work. According to a recent survey from Brick Meets Click and Mercatus reported on by Grocery Dive, online grocery sales in the U.S. rose $1.3 billion to $9.3 billion in March after a dip in sales in February. Compared to last year, online sales grew 43% in March.  The survey also found that 69.3 million households placed one or more online orders in March, compared to 74.5 million households last March when the pandemic first started and restrictions first went into effect. This shows that even as things are opening back up, grocery e-commerce is still going strong.  Pickup orders are up 12% and delivery orders are up 23% compared to last March. The survey shows that pickup is the dominant way today’s online grocery orders in the U.S. are received. Grocers have tapped into this trend by building out stronger pickup service

  New research demonstrates the unexpected ways "legacy pollutants" can work their way through the environment. By  Mike Pomranz   April 23, 2021 Sometimes the ways in which decisions made by previous generations still affect us today are obvious: In the 1950s, America approved the Interstate Highway System and we still drive on it now. But other repercussions aren't as readily apparent. The 1950s also saw an uptick in nuclear weapons testing and, unsettlingly enough, traces of the fallout from that era can still be found today in jars of honey. "I'm not trying to tell people they shouldn't eat honey. I feed my kids honey," stressed Jim Kaste, an associate professor at William & Mary's Department of Geology and co-author of the recent study, announcing the findings. "I eat more honey now than I did when I started this project." Instead, the paper—published in the journal  Nature Communications —is intended to demonstrate the long-lastin
