08.01.2022 Have you ever heard of a biofilm? Our bodies have powerful immune systems but when bacteria cover themselves in a protective coating of slime called a biofilm, they can quickly evolve into dangerous superbugs. Even with antibiotics, our most powerful weapons, it is difficult to destroy these fortified slime castles. Check out Dr Tullio Rossi's activity 'Deadly Slime: choose your own adventure' (link below) and earn 1 hour in your Passport! And share your drawings with us below as we'd love to see them https://cuaportal.com//mysterious-underwater-sounds-expla/
