Heat is one of the most dangerous natural hazards, causing preventable deaths and putting vulnerable communities under increasing pressure. But heat is not experienced equally, with some communities more vulnerable than others.<br /><br />The University of Liverpool’s Melting Metropolis research is a major Wellcome funded project that explores how people experience urban heat, and how cities can respond. It brings together historians, artists, and community engagement experts to better understand heat and health in London, New York and Paris.<br /><br />Host Gavin Freeborn is joined in the studio by Professor Chris Pearson, Environmental Historian and Principal Investigator on the project, and Dr Anna Bocking-Welch, Senior Lecturer in History, to talk about the realities of extreme heat - and what cities need to do next. <br /><br />More information available at <a href="https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/research/original-ideas/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">liverpool.ac.uk/research/original-ideas/</a>

13. Antimicrobial Resistance
According to the World Health Organisation, Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria and viruses no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines. As a result, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death. AMR is now directly responsible for 1.3 million deaths and contributes to 5 million deaths every year. <br /><br />So what progress are we making? And what needs to happen next to prevent a future where routine infections become untreatable?<br /><br />Host Gavin Freeborn is joined in the studio by experts <a href="https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/people/alexander-martin-howard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dr Alex Howard</a>, a consultant in Medical Microbiology, and <a href="https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/people/nada-reza" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dr Nada Reza</a>, a Clinical Research Training Fellow, to discuss AMR, and the critical research taking place in Liverpool. <br /> <br />More information available at <a href="https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/research/original-ideas/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">liverpool.ac.uk/research/original-ideas/</a> <br /><br />(Includes clips of <a href="https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/people/william-hope" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Professor William Hope</a>, OBE, Dame Sally Davies Chair of AMR Research and <a href="https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/people/alison-holmes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Professor Alison Holmes</a>, OBE, David Price Evans Chair in Global Health and Infectious Diseases speaking on the Times Higher Education Podcast)
