How is your high school treating you??

Have you ever wished that there was a school that actually cared about YOU?

A place that welcomes everyone from every religion and every identity and HONORED that individuality?

Do you wish that your teachers cared and understood that not everyone is neurotypical and your needs differ from those of your peers?

Do you wish you didn’t have to slog through 8 hours of Common Core classes but experienced progressive education through classes like: American Cinema, Archery, Ceramics, Gothic Literature, Understanding Race: Inequality and Working Towards Justice, Taoist Fiction, Elvish, Quidditch, Elizabethan Rapier, Wilderness Survival, The Science of Sleep, and LGBT+ History?

Do you love being outdoors? Do you like ponds, prairies, sheep, cows, pigs, and CATS?!

Have you ever wished that you could have a say in how your school runs? Maybe you want the schedule modified or discipline to be handled differently or maybe you are fed up with all the restrictions you have to deal with?

WELL THEN SCATTERGOOD IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!

The new approach has so far only been tested in the lab and on mice, but it could offer a potential solution to antibiotic resistance, which is now getting so bad that the United Nations recently declared it a “fundamental threat” to global health.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria already kill around 700,000 people each year, but a recent study suggests that number could rise to around 10 million by 2050.

In addition to common hospital superbug, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), scientists are now also concerned that gonorrhoea is about tobecome resistant to all remaining drugs.

But Shu Lam, a 25-year-old PhD student at the University of Melbourne in Australia, has developed a star-shaped polymer that can kill six different superbug strains without antibiotics, simply by ripping apart their cell walls.

“We’ve discovered that [the polymers] actually target the bacteria and kill it in multiple ways,” Lam told Nicola Smith from The Telegraph. “One method is by physically disrupting or breaking apart the cell wall of the bacteria. This creates a lot of stress on the bacteria and causes it to start killing itself.”

The research has been published in Nature Microbiology, and according to Smith, it’s already being hailed by scientists in the field as “a breakthrough that could change the face of modern medicine”.

Before we get too carried away, it’s still very early days. So far, Lam has only tested her star-shaped polymers on six strains of drug-resistant bacteria in the lab, and on one superbug in live mice.

But in all experiments, they’ve been able to kill their targeted bacteria - and generation after generation don’t seem to develop resistance to the polymers.

New Zealand artist Benjamin Lloyd recently announced on Facebook that he would give all the kids at Auckland’s Starship Children’s Hospital temporary tattoos if he received 50 likes. But he didn’t get 50 likes. He got over 400,000 of them! And the number just keep on rising.

True to his word, Lloyd has agreed to honor his pledge. The artist has been airbrushing for ten years but has only recently started painting tattoos. He only did them for fun, and only for adults, but when he suggested doing them for the kids at the children’s hospital the internet went into overdrive. He’ll soon commence his admirable tattoo-a-thon, but in the meantime, check out these pictures to see the sort of awesome sleeves that these cool kids will soon be sporting.
