Wait, its a musical about what? The Lifeline Project explores the science and the process behind the musical, Lifeline, a showabout antibiotics, Alexander Fleming and the biggest current health crisis you might never have heard of. In this podcast we delve into the science behind the stories in the show, exploring the global health through the eyes of scientists, doctors, writers and theatre folk. With antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatening to kill 10 million people a year by 2050 the time to act is now, and what better way to find out about crisis than through a musical and its accompanying podcast! So, what is AMR? How do we prevent it? And how on earth can a musical about antibiotics make any difference?
