Students from the Faculty of Biology of the University of Salamanca are part of the Micromundo USAL 2021 Project. This project aims to develop content and informative activities to familiarize the population with the resistance that some microorganisms develop to antibiotics, and is coordinated locally by the Institute of Functional Biology and Genomics (IBFG).
Micromundo is an international initiative based on a research and teaching project that aims to bring science closer to young people in society, and to raise awareness of antibiotic resistance among the younger generations. The project originated at Yale University under the name Small World Initiative in 2012, and the University of Wiscosin adapted it as Tiny Earth in 2018.
