Tiny Matters

[BONUS] 'Night soil' recycling and could viruses be the new antibiotics?: Tiny Show and Tell Us #16


Listen Later

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we consider if bacteriophages could become our biggest allies in the fight against antibiotic resistance. Then we cover the historical role of "night soil men" and how some sewage treatment systems today are setting the standard for sustainable management of human excrement while also making sure we don't get sick.
