Genomic epidemiology describes introduction and outbreaks of antifungal drug-resistant Candida auris - npj Antimicrobials and Resistance

Sep 29, 2024 | nature.com | David Eyre |Andrew M. Borman

AbstractCandida auris is a globally emerged fungal pathogen causing nosocomial invasive infections. Here, we use cutting-edge genomic approaches to elucidate the temporal and geographic epidemiology of drug-resistant C. auris within the UK. We analysed a representative sample of over 200 isolates from multiple UK hospitals to assess the number and timings of C. auris introductions and infer subsequent patterns of inter- and intra-hospital transmission of azole drug-resistant isolates.
The leadership role of engineers in global sustainability

Aug 21, 2024 | createdigital.org.au | David Eyre

Why a new UNSW industrial decarbonisation initiative aims to put engineers at the centre of a transdisciplinary movement. Industrial decarbonisation – reducing the pollution caused by use of fossil resources – requires deep systemic change, not just to energy technology, but to foundries, refineries and factories, infrastructure, cities and the structure of economies. UNSW has established the Institute for Industrial Decarbonisation to help drive the transition.

AbstractPopulation-representative estimates of SARS-CoV-2 infection prevalence and antibody levels in specific geographic areas at different time points are needed to optimise policy responses. However, even population-wide surveys are potentially impacted by biases arising from differences in participation rates across key groups.
Blog: Fair taxes build better budgets. Better budgets build a better future.

Apr 22, 2024 | povertyalliance.org | David Eyre

Imagine blowing up a balloon. You puff and puff and puff and eventually tie it off. It’s about the size of your head and you’re very happy with it. But your friend comes along, and they have a balloon too. Except theirs is about twice the size of yours. It’s a bit bigger than a beachball. Suddenly, your balloon looks quite small. Then along comes another friend. Their balloon is about three times the size of yours. It’s huge.
News: Budget give-aways won’t help tackle poverty

Mar 6, 2024 | povertyalliance.org | David Eyre

Reacting to today’s Spring Budget, Peter Kelly, director of The Poverty Alliance, said: “People want a society based on justice and compassion, where everyone has a solid foundation to build a better life. This Budget doesn’t deliver that. “National Insurance and Capital Gains Tax changes will give away huge amounts of money to the richest households, but are worth very little or nothing at all to the poorest households who are struggling to avoid destitution.
Briefing: International Women's Day 2024

Mar 6, 2024 | povertyalliance.org | David Eyre

Our briefing for MSPs on International Women's Day 2024 underlines the fundamental injustices facing women in Scotland when it comes to poverty and low incomes. Poverty in Scotland is gendered. Women are more likely to be living in poverty and find it harder to escape poverty.
Taking Action on Rural Poverty

Feb 28, 2024 | povertyalliance.org | David Eyre

Despite Scotland’s great wealth, rural and island Scotland have been hit hardest by the cost of living crisis. Too many people living rurally are held back by poverty. Stemming the tide is made harder by the higher cost of rural living. It is not right that it costs 15-30% more just to get by in remote rural Scotland than in urban parts of the UK.
First Minister’s child poverty commitment is welcome – but more work needs to be done - The Poverty Alliance

Feb 28, 2024 | povertyalliance.org | David Eyre

Responding to the First Minister’s speech about new Scottish Government child poverty forecasts, Peter Kelly – director of The Poverty Alliance – said: “It’s good that the First Minister has taken the chance to highlight his responsibility to reduce the numbers of children living in unjust poverty in wealthy Scotland. It’s a responsibility that lies on all political leaders in Scotland and the UK, and especially those in Holyrood who voted unanimously to put our child poverty targets into law.
Guest blog: Homing in on renters in later life

Feb 23, 2024 | povertyalliance.org | David Eyre

It’s often, wrongly, assumed that older people don’t face any of the same issues younger generations do when it comes to housing; and instead that all older people own mortgage free homes, immune from the problems seen in the rental market. This false assumption couldn’t be further from the truth.
Blog: The Minimum Income Guarantee Seminars

Feb 6, 2024 | povertyalliance.org | David Eyre

We built our social security system so that everyone — especially those who most need it — can have stability and freedom to build a better future for themselves and their households. But over the last few decades, governments have weakened our social security. When the covid-19 pandemic and rising costs hit us all, social security hasn’t been strong enough to keep people on already low incomes from falling into debt and destitution. That has to change.
