Today’s story is a good example of how little we know about biology and life, and how we can use our knowledge to better fight diseases and environmental threats. We are going to talk about bacteriophages or just fages. These are small viruses which attack bacteria. The story is literally about life and death and most organisms on earth are being k…

If you look at flight maps you can see small stipulated lines with magnetic field direction - on the map.

This means that the magnetic north is moving too and in fact there has been…
