The Antibiotic Resistance Action Center Unveils New Website and Monthly Newsletter

The Antibiotic Resistance Action Center (ARAC) at the George Washington University’s Milken Institute of Public Health announced the recent launch of a new website, https://www.superbugsarenotfunny.com, and monthly newsletter. 

The rebrand comes at a time when antibiotic-resistant infections have been recognized as the third leading cause of death globally. With that staggering statistic in mind, ARAC’s new website has one main focus: the immediate need to reform antibiotic use in food animal production.

“My dream is that we stop propping up this broken system with antibiotics. That we let farmers be farmers again, that we have animals live like healthy animals again, and that we save antibiotics for future generations. We can do this, but we have to act now,” says ARAC Founder and Co-Director, Dr. Lance Price.
