Longitude Prize

"The new Superbugs game looks amazing - and funny, it can help you find a big problem with resistant bacteria - it poses a threat to all our health."

We know that our daily behavior may lead to resistance such as not completing take antibiotics or sharing prescriptions. Therefore, knowing the proper antibiotic consumption is important to reduce resistance. Games are very attractive among young people, and scientific content can be conveyed particularly effectively, sometimes even for scientific research.

Superbugs is a game you can play on your smartphone or tablet. For fun computer games about bacteria and antibiotics, we recommend that you play public health UK e-bug games.

The development of antibiotics is important for our survival: WHO estimates that they will increase by an average of 20 years per year. However, over 80 years since the discovery of penicillin, the excessive use of our antibiotics has put pressure on the bacteria to make it resistant, bringing refractory superbacteria.

Antibiotic resistance (AMR) means that parasites, viruses, fungi do not respond to the drugs we use to combat the infections they cause. Antibiotic resistance means antibiotic resistance, especially against antibiotics

Although bacteria naturally evolved to resist some antibiotics, the use and abuse of antibiotics accelerated the emergence of certain types of bacterial tolerance types or strains. Improper management of infection, inadequate hygiene control, and handling of inappropriate foods may further exacerbate this problem as it promotes diffusion resistance.

Due to the spread of resistant insects around the world, it is impossible to treat common diseases and infectious diseases in general surgery such as surgery and cancer treatment. Many standard treatments will fail or become very dangerous without effective anti-infectives

Under conservative estimates, the number of annual deaths due to AMR is 700,000. According to the analysis, there is a possibility that it reaches 10 million by 2050 if nothing is done.

We are participating in a global effort to test people by asking people around the world to submit the best ideas to eliminate the use of antibiotics when they are not needed.

The longitude award is a 10 million pound competition designed to help stop antibiotic resistance. Beginning in 2014, the awards are voted by the people and are endorsed by Prime Minister David Cameron who has the opportunity to finish it at any time and finally submit it in September 2019. Award-winning tests must be easy to use, fast, affordable and useful in various health environments around the world.

Throughout history, prizes have been used to create important breakthroughs. The British longitude award reformed the marine voyage and the Orteg Award won the famous Atlantic Ferry of Lindbergh. Today, we have the XPRIZE Foundation. This is a reward for space flight and oil purification. The latest award is QUALCOMM TRICODER XPRIZE, who challenges the team to develop mobile devices that can "diagnose patients equal to or higher than a certified doctor's team". The winner is a group of middle-aged siblings that began when children saw science fiction and patched music.

An organization called the longitude committee was established to manage and judge longitude awards. They got some strange and wonderful suggestions. Like the circles around us and the invention of perpetual motion machines, the phrase "find longitude" has become a slogan pursued by fools and madmen. Many think that the problem can not be solved at all. The problem of longitude was solved almost without being educated officially by the worker class carpenter of Lincolnshire. John Harrison accepted the scientific and academic establishment of his time and received a longitude award through pure determination and extraordinary talent and technical insight.

Geodesy has just begun. The inclination can be reasonably and accurately estimated with Sokkaki and compass, but we mainly infer longitude. As the British navy and colony holdings continue to expand, the need for better maps and navigation will also increase. In order to solve the "longitude problem" of 1712, Congress set a prize of 20,000 pounds. The challenge is to determine the longitude of the West Indies by longitude error less than 0.5 degrees. Dava Sobel's book "Longitude" (1996) details how the watchmaker John Harrison won on his "H4" Precise Observatory.
