I WORKED WITH DR RAECHELLE D’SA, AT LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY ON THEIR
ANTIMICROBIAL AVENGER PROJECT TO CREATE CREATURES THAT EDUCATE AND INFORM PEOPLE ABOUT ALTERNATIVES TO PENICILLIN. THESE ANCIENT ANIMALS MAY PROVIDE SOME OF THE ANSWERS TO THE CRISIS WE FACE.
THE CERAMIC ANTIMICROBIAL ANIMALS WERE PURCHASED BY THE UNIVERSITY AND ARE NOW ON PERMANENT DISPLAY IN THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AT LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY.
