About

Hello! In this series, we will answer many of the burning questions you have, like "Why does antibiotic resistance occur?" "What are some inequities antibiotic resistance causes?" and "What can I do to stop this phenomenon?" This course will answer all of these questions and more!

Tutor Qualifications

I took AP Biology and biotechnology at my school this year, with a 99% average in both classes. In addition, I am currently conducting independent research on antibiotic resistance.
