Chances are, sometime in your life, you’ll need an antibiotic.
But did you know that bacteria are evolving antibiotic resistance so quickly – and pharmaceutical companies are not inventing new antibiotics – that soon, there will not be any that are effective?

Sierra Nevada Research Institute presents the Science Cafe Merced at Coffee Bandits on Monday, September 16th at 7:00pm.
Want to learn more about the San Joaquin River Restoration? Stopy by for an open science forum with scientist Tom Harmon.
Everyone is welcome!!
Tom Harmon researches water supply and water quality issues with a focus in the San Joaquin Valley. A merced resident since 2003, he is a Professor and Chair in the School of Engineering at UC Merced.
Valley fever is hard to diagnose, even harder to treat, and potentially fatal—and the number of cases is rising dramatically.

Karen Deeming was a healthy 48-year-old living in Los Banos, California, and working on her master's degree in anthropology and archaeology. Then, in late 2012, a few weeks after returning from a dig in Mariposa, California, Karen began to feel sick. A chest x-ray turned up bilteral pneumonia and masses in her lungs.
Two UC Merced undergraduates will spend the summer immersed in research after winning prestigious fellowships from the American Physiological Society.
The ties between the community and the University of California, Merced, will grow stronger thanks to a gift from longtime campus supporters Joel and Elizabeth Wallace.
The Wallaces have given UC Merced $575,000 to establish the Wallace-Dutra Amphitheater and the Yablokoff-Wallace Health Science Research Endowment, which will support the campus’s Community Research, Innovations and Solutions for the Health of the San Joaquin Valley Network (CRIS).
Graphic cigarette warning labels are better at discouraging smoking in young adults than text-only labels, according to research recently published by a UC Merced professor.
Professor Linda Cameron’s study adds new information about how cigarette warning labels can discourage young, adult nonsmokers — a vulnerable group — from picking up the habit.
Researchers at the University of California, Merced, have discovered a new way in which bone health impacts a person's immune system.
The discovery could impact how scientists try to combat bone-related disease, as drugs to improve bone quality could weaken a person's immune system.
"The bone does have an influence on the basic biology of blood development," immunology Professor Jennifer Manilay said. "This interdisciplinary research shows the need to look at the whole organ."
Thank you for choosing HSRI for your proposal application. We would very much value your feedback on how things went so that we can improve on our service and systems.
