Thursday, November 15th, 2018

06:00 PM - 07:30 PM

Storrs Campus
Koons Hall 201

Antibiotic resistance is a rising issue facing us all. As bacteria begin to build resistance to our current antibiotics, people are at risk to face infections with no cure. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) estimates that each year 2 million people acquire an antibiotic resistant infection and at least 23,000 people die each year. As part of Antibiotic Resistance Awareness Week (November 12th-18th), we will be holding a screening of the documentary "Resistance: Not All Germs Are Created Equal." This screening will be followed by a short discussion of the ways we can help prevent the rise of resistance as a community and ways to further get involved.

This is an Honors event.
