Excited to share the EDAR8 Promo Video: vimeo.com/1098388166?fe=sh&f… The EDAR Conference is a cornerstone and one of the most foundational to CIP-CAR's mission. Many of our students presented last year—special shoutout to Luke for bringing home Top Presenter.
Polarities are everywhere—once you see them...
In Polarities: Recent Reckonings, Gemma Jiang, PhD explores tensions in team science:
boundaries::connections, grace::discipline, commitment::compliance.

The 9th round of the AMR Country Self-assessment Survey launched on 15 Apr 2025, for completion by June 2025. A key tool since 2017, TrACSS helps countries track progress on AMR national action plans.

Beyond health impacts, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major economic threat. The World Bank warns AMR could cost an extra $1T in healthcare by 2030 and up to $3.4T in GDP losses/year by 2050.

The Power of Diagnostics in Combating AMR
At Criticare 2025, experts stressed: skipping diagnostic tests drives antibiotic resistance. By 2050, AMR could cause over 50% of global deaths. Accurate diagnosis matters.

Our recent study demonstrates how profiling microbiomes can serve as a high precision tool for assessing water quality and tailoring it to drinking water or other reuse applications| Environmental Science & Technology pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…@emilydgarner
Super paper on wastewater surveillance!
"A survey of the representativeness and usefulness of wastewater-based surveillance systems in 10 countries across Europe in 2023"

In case you missed it:
"Transmission routes of antibiotic resistant bacteria: a systematic review"
Perfect for confidently stating we don't know very much about transmission risk.
Happy to share our latest paper led by @ishi_keenum examining how advanced water reuse treatments alter ARG signals beyond that achieved through traditional wastewater treatment- we need to pay attention to distribution systems! @VTcombatAMRsciencedirect.com/science/ar…
"An e-DNA probe to enable microbial source apportionment from environmental samples."
Want to conduct an exciting multidisciplinary PhD project to provide a method for rapid source attribution of contaminating bacteria in waterways?
