When I was 25y, I was a victim of a car accident in #SouthAfrica 🇿🇦
I survived many injuries but the most complex were to my face which resulted in a multidrug-resistant infection

Patient partners play a vital role in research but face systemic barriers to fair pay. Institutions must match their equity commitments with action—transparent, equitable compensation is long overdue.
Patient partners aren't study subjects. Patient partner research has a compensation crisis.
We must do better to promote equity and ensure that patient partnerships are respected and compensated.

@bluesky is growing, but I'm worried we lose significant voices on other platforms like X when it comes to reaching patients and the public on matters around #AMR. X=700M users
I know SM is a tough battleground, but having a diverse presence is important to patients who are seeking information

Dr. Thomas O’Brien, visionary who addressed dangers of antimicrobial resistance, dies at 95 - The Boston Globe
A physician of endless curiosity and talents, Dr. O'Brien was “the most interesting person I’ve ever met,” said his son, TV talk show host Conan O'Brien, whose parents both died this week.
