This resource links to KS4 and KS5 Geography, Theology, Social Science and Biology. It can also be used as a careers resource and links to Gatsby Benchmarks: Gatsby Benchmark 2: Learning from career and labour market information Gatsby Benchmark 4: Linking curriculum learning to careers • This teaching resource explains the work of a unique team of early-career researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Bristol in the UK. Comprised of biologists and social scientists, the team is investigating how fungicide use in agriculture could potentially lead to antimicrobial resistance in human diseases. • This resource also contains interviews with the team members. If you or your students have a question for them, you can submit it online – go to the article using the Futurum link below and scroll to the bottom of the page. The team will reply! • The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on the team’s research, and tasks them consider whether farmers should reduce the amount of fungicide they use, taking different perspectives into account. This resource was first published on Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
