antibiotics in 50 years? We asked 7 global experts View in browser
                   Global Edition | 19 October 2023







                  The Conversation is present in nine jurisdictions around 
the world. This means that we now have access to the world’s top experts on 
the most pressing issues facing us. One of these is the fact we are running 
out of effective antibiotics.

                  We wanted to know if experts were optimistic about the 
future of antibiotics. The health editors across all our editions put me in 
touch with some of the brightest minds working on this problem, and I 
reached out with a simple question: will we still have antibiotics in 50 
years? Reassuringly, they all said yes. But all had major caveats.

                  US President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel has not reduced 
fears that the conflict could draw in others in the region. Chief among them 
is Hezbollah, the militant group and political party based across Israel’s 
northern border in Lebanon. Julie M Norman explains its relationship with 
Hamas.

                  Will we still have antibiotics in 50 years? We asked 7 
global experts
                  André O. Hudson, Rochester Institute of Technology; 
Fidelma Fitzpatrick, RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences; 
Juliana Côrrea, Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo da Fundação 
Getúlio Vargas (FGV/EAESP); Lori L. Burrows, McMaster University; Raúl Rivas 
González, Universidad de Salamanca; Roy Robins-Browne, The University of 
Melbourne; Yori Yuliandra, Universitas Andalas

                  We asked 7 global experts in microbiology and biochemistry 
if we are headed towards a future with no antimicrobial agents.


                  Hamas and Hezbollah: how they are different and why they 
might cooperate against Israel
                  Julie M Norman, UCL

                  Hezbollah’s full involvement in the latest 
Israeli-Palestinian conflict would likely open up a regional war.


                          a.. Biden in Israel: How U.S. foreign policy has 
played a big role in the Israel-Hamas war
                          Shaun Narine, St. Thomas University (Canada)

                          The current war in Gaza is an argument in favour 
of a multipolar world, one in which the U.S. has less influence and other 
powers can act as countervailing forces.

                          b.. Poland votes for change after nearly a decade 
spent sliding towards autocracy – but tricky coalition talks lie ahead for 
Donald Tusk
                          Simona Guerra, University of Surrey; Fernando 
Casal Bértoa, University of Nottingham

                          Law and Justice emerges as the biggest party but 
without a majority, leaving the door open for a large coalition led by the 
former president of the European Council.

                          c.. House speaker paralysis is confusing – a 
political scientist explains what’s happening
                          Charles R. Hunt, Boise State University

                          In the 1850s, a fight over the speakership took 
nearly two months and 133 rounds of voting. But for nearly a century, the 
majority party in the House has unanimously supported its leader. No longer.

                          d.. Ukraine: Russia’s losses mount – but 
self-sacrifice in war is part of the country’s mythology
                          Ben Soodavar, King's College London

                          Russia’s casualty count in Ukraine is high, but 
the country has a national mythology built on loss and sacrifice.

                          e.. Adele called herself a ‘borderline alcoholic’. 
But is that a real thing?
                          Nicole Lee, Curtin University

                          Adele is really saying alcohol is have too much of 
a negative impact on her life, and like many others has decided to do 
something positive about it by taking a break.




                  Compatible seabirds may make better parents, but 
personality clashes can lead to family tragedy and ‘divorce’
                  Fionnuala McCully, University of Liverpool

                  Like humans, seabirds seem less likely to part ways when 
they have relationships built on similar personalities.
