A great article bringing Audre Lourde’s insights to the U.K. AMR National Action Plan! Part of a growing conversation about the appropriateness of drawing on necessity as the mother of invention as a policy resource

Maybe in a sense just another vote against trimethoprim given the effect was limited. But faced recently with an obstetrician telling me I risked late term miscarriage for not treating asymptomatic bacteriuria (not blaming her given the evidence!), it’s another strike in balance of harms for me

Until relatively recently, the vast bulk of neuroscience information was derived from the research method "Wait around for someone to experience a severe but survivable head injury, and see how it affects them"

My favourite part of this discussion was @angelahuttner.bsky.social clearly explaining the worry about antibiotic use is causing resistant organisms which might later harm *the same* patient.
But wow, how far we’ve come with this kind of attention for UTI!
