Richard Feynman’s blackboard, on the day he died, had a few interesting phrases written on it as part of his preparation for the next lecture. One of them read ‘What I cannot create, I do not understand’. The complexity of structures and functions observed in living systems that we see around us, and the enormous amount of information generated about their parts/components (molecules, cells, tissues) have inspired biologists, engineers, physicists, chemists and mathematicians to design and create these forms and functions.Full Text

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is propagated by irrational use of antibiotics by healthcare practitioners and the uninformed public. This study assessed a select cohort of 504 urban Indians for their knowledge, awareness and practice of antibiotic use and AMR. Forty seven per cent were unaware of the differences between over-the-counter drugs and antibiotics. One in four believes that dose-skipping does not contribute to AMR. One in ten tends to self-medicate. One in five bought medicines without prescription or started an antibiotic course by calling a doctor. Our results mandate educational campaigns, stewardship and surveillance at the national level for prudent antimicrobial use in the Indian community.Keywords
