Capstone Project

Stop the Superbugs!

For this project, I designed an educational Instagram page centered around solving the issue of antibiotic resistance. Bacteria are rapidly evolving to become resistant to the antibiotic medications we have today, causing 2.8 million infections and about 35,000 deaths (CDC). In this page I outline ways in which the public can learn about this issue and what they can do to help. I got to personally interview a microbiology professor at SIUE to help inform my project. Her interview is featured throughout the page. I hope everyone is able to learn more about this issue! If the link doesn’t work search “stopthesuperbugs16” on Instagram.
