from forming into biofilms, a frequent cause of infections. The
anti-biofilm peptide works on a range of bacteria including many that
cannot be treated by antibiotics.
A national inquiry into the number of missing or murdered Aboriginal women
and girls in Canada would be insufficient, says UBC law professor Benjamin
Perrin.
"It is because of human behaviour that our oceans are in trouble; the
Vancouver Aquarium is doing its part to help mitigate the damage," writes
Martin Haulena of the Vancouver Aquarium and UBC Fisheries Centre in the
Vancouver Sun.
