Learn how magnetic bacteria work, and how scientists think they can help technology in the future!

It took some time for us to realize it isn’t the best idea for scientists to experiment on themselves. But along the way, sometimes at the expense of the health of scientists, we have gained crucial insights into their areas of study.

Eliminating certain species of mosquitoes could make summertime more enjoyable and cut down on the transmission of certain diseases. And scientists are looking into doing this by manipulating a single gene!
