Very excited about this session!

Genomics promises to revolutionise AMR—but history warns us that technology is never enough. What can HIV teach us about the ethics, politics, and inequalities shaping the genomic future of AMR?

It was amazing to work with a brilliant collection of authors & my fellow co-editors. Fully agree it's a strong set of books. My personal favourite (after our own of course 👀) is @susannahrfox.bsky.social Rebel Health, I already have it lined up for my module in May '26. Good luck everyone!
