Synopsis

Surveillance of Superbugs addresses the urgent global threat of antibiotic resistance by focusing on the critical role of surveillance in tracking and combating these "superbugs". The book highlights how the overuse of antibiotics has accelerated the evolution and spread of drug-resistant bacteria, creating a need for innovative strategies and international collaboration. Readers will gain insights into the molecular mechanisms that drive antibiotic resistance and the global epidemiology of these dangerous pathogens.

 
The book explores various surveillance systems used worldwide, from traditional methods to advanced molecular diagnostics like whole-genome sequencing. It emphasizes the importance of robust, coordinated, and data-driven surveillance for effective intervention. By providing an in-depth analysis of surveillance tools and strategies, the book offers a unique perspective on how to monitor resistant bacteria and make informed decisions in public health and clinical practice.

 
Starting with fundamental concepts of antibiotic resistance and epidemiology, the book progresses through methods of detection, examples of surveillance programs, and finally, a vision for future integrated data systems. This approach makes complex topics accessible to scientists, healthcare professionals, and policymakers, offering practical applications for improving infection control and promoting responsible antibiotic use.

My Manager Is a Dashboard: AI...

Stephen Patrick Sullivan

A funny, sharp, and slightly unhinged field guide to the agentic workplace. 
AI agents are not just chatbots. The moment you give a model permissions, you give it authority. And once authority shows up, your organization does what it always does. It measures everything that moves, logs every breath, builds dashboards like emotional support animals, and starts managing humans by whatever the dashboard can count. 
Meet Team Space Otter, the builders and shippers. Team Goth Koala, risk and compliance. Trash Panda Prime, ops and incident response. Neon Cactus, product and roadmaps. Glitter Kraken, data and dashboards. Laser Possum, weekend builders and experimenters. They are not real departments. They are archetypes. If you have worked in a company larger than a lemonade stand, you already know them. 
This is the Tuesday version of AI. Not sci fi. Not hype. The part nobody puts on the slide deck. 
Your new coworker is a bot. Your new manager is a dashboard. Good luck.
