ResistoScope
A journey into the invisible

Resistance knows no boundaries.
What lies hidden in the ice.
And all around us.
Antibiotic resistance does not arise only in hospitals. We find it in snow, ice, soils and waters — even where hardly anyone lives.
ResistoScope makes these connections visible: scientifically sound, interactive and told in a way everyone can understand.
