Piotr Kramarz: closing #ESCAIDE2025 in #Warsaw:

"Let’s link the data we produce with emotional messaging, narratives and stories – and let’s inspire others.”

#PublicHealth #IDsky #EpiSky

Piotr Kramarz:

"Top-down talking from experts to non-experts is not a dialogue. We have to listen to our target audiences and communities."

“It’s very hopeful to see all of us here united by the public health cause – let’s experience this hope, build it further, & take it with us”!

#ESCAIDE2025

Elburg van Boetzelaer at #ESCAIDE2025:

"In the research, we created both tangible and intangible outputs. From peer reviewed publications, a symposium and a series of webinars, as well as a short film and an exhibition with photographs of the people who contributed, to put faces to names."

Elburg van Boetzelaer from #MSF at #ESCAIDE2025:

"How inclusive are classical data collection methods? For example, when we organise focus groups, how do we ensure that elder people can reach the location where focus groups take place?"

Grazia Caleo at #ESCAIDE2025:
"Public health is not only counted, it is also experienced. I want to encourage reflection, hope, and empathy to build solidarity as a core of inclusive and equitable public health."

Grazia Caleo at #ESCAIDE2025:

Why did I go from being an #epidemiologist to a writer of a children’s book about #Ebola, from the tangible to the intangible? I witnessed stigma, fear, violence and injustice. I wanted to forge new paths to bridge the tangible and intangible.

Erin Welsh & Erin Allmann Updyke at #ESCAIDE2025 - on what keeps science communication alive:

“Don’t let perfection get in the way of good - sometimes you just have to put your work out there.”

“We all share a collective responsibility to make positive changes where we can.”

#SciComm

Erin Welsh and Erin Allmann Updyke at #ESCAIDE2025 on communication - which differs from a lecture:

“Conversations are a two-way street - talking, but also actively listening.”

“Asking good questions is a skill, and it’s essential for communicating science.”

#SciComm #ESCAIDE

Erin Welsh and Erin Allmann Updyke at #ESCAIDE2025:

#ScienceCommunication is about distilling dense, complex information into something people can actually understand.

(…) Good science stories hook you - they make you care.

(…) Storytelling humanises what is often taught as an impersonal field.

Erin Welsh and Erin Allmann Updyke at #ESCAIDE2025:

“Uncertainty is a fundamental part of science – and it’s not an excuse for inaction.”

“One of our catchphrases is: ‘Great question — I don’t know.’ Transparency builds trust.”

“Scientists need to get better at not overstating our expertise.”

Adrian Stoica at #ESCAIDE2025:
"We also need to work closer with community health services to gather vaccination behavioural insights and organise catch-up vaccination campaigns couples with health promotion."

#Vaccination #VaccinesSaveLives #ESCAIDE

Adrian Stoica from Arges County Directorate of Public Health, Romania at #ESCAIDE2025:

"Adequately resourced vaccination programmes underperform in Arges county.

We need to continue working with family doctors to improve reporting on reasons for missed vaccinations & communication about it."

Susan Hahne @rivm-nl.bsky.social:

"Politicization of #vaccination is a main current threat. Should we do more to address the real determinants (politics and social media) rather than individuals or groups?"

#ESCAIDE2025 #ESCAIDE

Susan Hahne @rivm-nl.bsky.social:

"A primary principle of public health is to reduce health inequality.

The reality is that groups that need preventative services the most, are often the ones that access it the least."

#ESCAIDE2025 #ESCAIDE #PublicHealth

Viviane Bremer from @rki.de at #ESCAIDE2025:

"Access to #HIV #PrEP depends on country and region of residence, migrant status and gender, rather than risk for HIV infection."

#ESCAIDE #PublicHealth #Epidemiology

Viviane Bremer from @rki.de at #ESCAIDE2025:
"At risk populations are not mutually exclusive, there is a large overlap, and they face a wide range of barriers such as stigma and language barriers".
