Why combination therapy slows antiviral resistance

Using several antiviral drugs slows resistance

Viruses can become resistant to a drug when mutations change the parts of the virus that the drug attacks. HIV-1 mutates especially quickly. Using several antiviral drugs together works better than relying on just one.

Georgia’s clay-jar wine method is UNESCO-listed

Georgia’s traditional method uses clay jars called qvevri to make wine, and it is listed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. Archaeological evidence also places grape growing and wine production in Georgia thousands of years ago.

Dissolved CO₂ changes seawater chemistry, reducing the availability of carbonate ions used by corals and many shell-building organisms. The water is still alkaline, but its declining pH can make building and maintaining calcium carbonate structures more difficult.
