Really productive session this evening.
I wrote around 500 words, which is essentially all on my section about Sepsis.
Tomorrow I plan to look into another section on a bacterial illness, and then the day after this, I plan to write a section on my ideas of what strategies could be adopted against resistance.

I have got quite a lot done in my project essay, and I am now at 3000 words. I began on the 29th December, and by 30th January I had finished the section on my experiment. During February I have written about the current state of resistance, the future of antibiotics, and the methodology by which resistance is passed on. I also managed a comparative section on how the bacterial immunity to antibiotics has developed quickly in comparison to human disease resistance.
Tomorrow I am presenting my extended project in college.

Changes

Instead of just writing a scientific analysis of how resistance spreads I have decided to write it in the form of a comparison looking at how the bacteria pass on resistance compared to human immunity being passed on. I think this is important in clarifying why we have not adapted in the same way as bacteria are now.

experiment review

I have evaluated my experimental data now.
It looks like my data shows that levels in the college are higher than average (2/3 rather than 1/3) however my data is incredibly unreliable in this because only three people were sampled. I would need a much larger sample to draw any real conclusions, but that cannot be done with the resources available. This data will still be very useful to put in my essay however, as it will provide me with an opportunity to talk about levels of bacteria in different places.
