Contamination of urban lakes, rivers and surface water by human waste is creating pools of 'superbugs' in Lowand Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) - but improving access to clean water, sanitation and sewerage infrastructure could help to protect people's health, a new study reveals. Researchers studied bodies of water in urban and rural sites in three areas of Bangladesh - Mymensingh, Shariatpur and Dhaka.
Top UK organisations release annual statistics for use of animals in research
The ten organisations in Great Britain that carry out the highest number of animal procedures - those used in medical, veterinary and scientific research - have today released their annual statistics. We always aim to use as few animals as possible, refining our research and actively looking for ways of replacing their use.

SUMMER SERIES: HOW SCIENCE WORKS For scientists, the path from bright idea to finished product is a long one. Prototypes must go through an extensive testing and approval process before they are ready for the market. Let's have a look. The results of scientific research can often bring considerable societal and economic benefits.
Interactive text messaging reduces sunburn for those at risk
Regular and interactive text messaging has been shown to be an effective way to help young people avoid sunburn by changing their behaviour. A team led by University of Queensland researcher Professor Monika Janda set out to establish the optimal text messaging intervention to achieve behaviour change in young adults at risk of skin cancer.
