Ann Cheeptham is a cave-exploring micro-biologist on a mission to find a solution to one of the biggest threats facing the global population today, our growing resistance to antibiotics. She, and a team of local cavers or 'citizen scientists' as she calls them, are hunting for bacteria that could form the basis of new, more effective antibiotics, a search that's taken them deep underground.
