Just a Phage We're Going Through

David Fanelli

 

As bacteria continue to outsmart us and evolve resistance to our antibiotics, it's time for us to switch to alternative medical treatments to combat infections. Phage therapy might just be our lifeline, and research has continued to show that it has the power to do what antibiotics can't. The only question that remains is if we're willing to make the change. 

 

 

PSU Gives Blood

Sarah D'Souza and Justin Cooper

 

With our advocacy project, we aim to encourage Penn State students to donate blood. The need is constant and there are thousands of Penn State students who are physically eligible to donate, so this is the perfect demographic. The dramatic nature of this video is designed to emotionally and logically appeal to its viewers. Go State, Donate!

 

 

Why Getting High and Driving Just Don't Mix

Montana Morris

 

 

Did you know that marijuana consumption rose by 25% from 2007 until 2012
according the National Survey on Drug Use and Health? This podcast, Why Getting
High and Driving Don’t Mix, illustrates an issue that has become prevalent in
light of the recent cultural shift towards marijuana acceptance. Not only does
it explain the situation, it educates college students, such as those in the
Penn State community, as to why they should not get behind the wheel after
consuming cannabis and how that decision can save lives.
