In Jan­uary, a research team including Uni­ver­sity Dis­tin­guished Pro­fessor Kim Lewis and Dis­tin­guished Pro­fessor Slava Epstein pre­sented a newly dis­cov­ered antibi­otic that elim­i­nates pathogens without encoun­tering any detectable resis­tance. The ground­breaking research swept the globe, and now one analysis indi­cates that the paper topped the list of the 100 sci­en­tific arti­cles receiving the most media buzz and online atten­tion in 2015.
