    Drug-resistant infections are a global problem. They’re a threat to our health, livelihoods, healthcare systems and national economies. However, the weight of this burden is not felt equally. Not even close. ⤵️🌍 [1/3]
    Drug-resistant infections threaten us all—but not equally. A world map with regions coloured in various shades of red indicates the number of deaths associated with bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in 2019. The darkest shades of red show that South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, east Asia and Oceania have the highest number of deaths associated with AMR. High-income countries, as well as Latin America, the Caribbean, Central Europe, eastern Europe, central Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, are notably lighter in colour – showing the lower burden of deaths associated with AMR. A footnote shows the source of information as 'The Lancet, Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019 report'.

    Wellcome and anti-racism update: In June 2020, Wellcome publicly recognised that it had perpetuated racism and pledged to tackle racism as an organisation. Unfortunately, we’ve fallen short of the commitments we made. 1/10

    New analysis from the @royalsociety shows just how high UK visa costs for researchers are compared to upfront costs for similar visa routes in 13 other countries. Here, we take a look at how the UK compares to countries in the G7 included in the analysis 🔍⤵️ 1/5
    Bar chart shows the upfront costs for similar visa routes for researchers in the UK, US, France, Italy, Germany and Japan. UK costs are multiple times higher than other countries and the biggest factor for this is the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS).
