The Anatomy of Antibiotic Resistance. Are We Running Out of Cures?
30th June 2026
A sore throat. A chest infection. A cut that becomes infected. For over 80 years, antibiotics have transformed medicine, turning once-deadly bacterial infections into conditions that can often be treated with just a few tablets over the course of a couple weeks.

From earliest times, the Middle Ages, Georgians, Victorians, the second world war and society today, I will discuss to what extent wealth is reflected in the clothes we wear.
