Thank you to all the amazing, bright and hardworking participants of #SciCommUU25!!

You guys were brilliant, it was a pleasure to organize and deliver these three days to you.

Can’t wait to see all the ways you’ll make this world better with your science and your communication! ☀️

Finishing up this amazing 2025 edition of our course with a new teacher - Tzeni Karamanli brings us the #marketing perspective to communication. Similar but not the same as #scicomm, there is a lot to learn to be more effective communicators, and why not, perhaps explore a new career!

Our students now put knowledge to practice giving us short presentations that are relatable, memorable and impactful.

Through them we learned about sustainable fuels, microorganisms, Y chromosome loss, cooking vs. lab work & parasites.

@hugogdtc.bsky.social continues our course with oral presentation skills and pitch techniques.

Storytelling as a central point to be memorable and grab attention.

Final day of #SciCommUU25 comes in hot with Adeline Marcos from FECYT, bringing us the world of science journalism. How do science becomes news?

The students had their own take on it covering the project EcoSentinel, which looks into enhancing plants to become nature’s guardians 🌿🌱

Closing off day 2 by the one & only @gorizaola.bsky.social with essential tips on how to use #socialmedia for #scicomm, and an exploration of why would a scientist want to spend time doing so!

Almetrics impact, inclusive citizen science, visibility of research, and more!

We also talked podcasts! Of course, a favorite of mine. I shared my love for audio format #SciComm, lessons learned from #theAMRstudio 7 years of experience, and brainstormed new #podcasts ideas.

Some ideas: Safety Bites (food safety) or Addicionary (addictions A to Z) cool right? 😎

And continuing with a theory and practice session on @wikipedia.org w/ Olle Terenius.

Updating wikipedia with the most up to date and reliable knowledge is surely a way to make impact. With 500 million page access a day globally, it is the most visited source of general information!

Day 2 starting with an exploration of different #outreach opportunities around Uppsala, Sweden and beyond!

We’ve talked about:
📚School visits
🔬SciFest
🍺Pint of Science
📰Opinon pieces
👩🏻‍🏫 European Researches Night
🏆Researches Grand Prix
☕️Science Fika
🎧Fikademia Podcast
🧼SoapBox Science

Closing off day 1 with Andreas Dahlin founder & lead at @vyscience.bsky.social which bring us a condensed version of the wonderful things he & his team share in their in-depth courses.

Supporting science communication with impactful & memorable visuals is so important.

Brady Caldwell presenting how’s to be a high-school teacher that wants their students to get real world experience and current scientific knowledge.

The kids are curious and eager to learn, and there’s a lot researchers and PhD students can contribute with!

Science for policy is the main aim of @cienciamento.bsky.social. Edu Oliver @eduolpe.bsky.social presents the journey of Ciencia en el Parlamento, from a movement in Twitter to helping create a formal Science Advisory Office for the Spanish Government.

An example to follow!

Susana de Lucas @reescribirc.bsky.social shares the challenges and wonders as the head of the comms & culture office at @cnb-csic.bsky.social.

A very important job which truly bridges research and society!
June 2, 2025 at 9:40 AM
Starting the 10th year sharing our love for #scicomm & #outreach at Uppsala University with our graduate course. 3 days full on ways to talk about science, how to reach different audiences, & how make research have the impact it needs in our societies.

Here @hugogdtc.bsky.social kicking it off!
June 2, 2025 at 7:46 AM
I did it! Gave my first-ever #PintofScience talk at a pub in Stockholm! 🍺

Less data, more punchlines (well, attempted 😅).
Feeling like a beginner again!

The crowd was sharp, curious, and full of great questions.
Grateful to have shared the night with brilliant speakers and an even better audience!
May 22, 2025 at 11:34 AM
On the way and ready to join Stockholm’s @pintsworld.bsky.social festival to talk about #AntibioticResistance!

This time I feel like a beginner again by doing a new kind of talk… maybe with one or two jokes in there?? We will see… EXCITING!!!
May 21, 2025 at 3:32 PM
So well said! Both encouraging because of the opportunities but so discouraging to see we are just not doing enough.

What if instead of vilifying over-the-counter #antibioticprescription we taught and educated those potential sellers? @marcmendelson.bsky.social holds the difficult position of arguing against #newantibiotics, but greatly highlights all other aspects that require our attention

#ESCMIDGlobal

Day 4 and still touching on new topics! Now #probiotics on the scene. Lena Biehl brings evidence of their use for different indications. What’s promising:
- use during (not before, not after!) #ab treatment to prevent diarrhea
- vaginal use for #UTI, #candidiasis & #vaginosis

515.000 deaths, 2.5billion antibiotic doses, and A LOT of money can be saved by vaccination. Mateusz Hasso from @who.int makes a case for widespread immunization to reduce #AMR burden.

Here’s the report: www.who.int/publications...

Vaccines are undoubtedly a way to manage #AMR, directly and indirectly! Adam Cunningham talks benefits and challenges.
Vaccination to both #bacteria & #viruses reduces infection, disease burden & #antibiotic use!

Fusariosis can be as scary as it sounds. Fungal infections might not be as common as bacterial, but when they do happen their #resistance patterns can look like this! 😱 Thanks to @olivercornely.bsky.social for bringing us the new #antifungals coming to the rescue!

#ESCMIDGlobal
April 14, 2025 at 7:46 AM
4th day starts with the #antibiotic pipeline. New drugs for our bugs! Martin Emting develops synthetic antivirulence molecules, aka pathoblockers 🙅🏻‍♀️ These drugs can stop bacteria from infecting by targeting systems like quorum sensing (bacterial communication!).

#ESCMIDGlobal
April 14, 2025 at 7:16 AM
Tender schnitzels, warm apple strudels, the fluffiest whipped cream you’ll ever find, sausages that keep on giving, or famous fancy cakes…

Each #ESCMIDGlobal is an opportunity to explore a new cuisine, and #Viennese food does not disappoint!

Anything else you might recommend? 2 days left! Ñam 🤤

How to leverage #free-text data in GP health records? Gjis Danoe presents the BERT&EARNIE #AI driven #surveillance approach.
Model can pick up signals of early outbreaks!

Great potential for well organized #healthcare settings, where records are routinely gather!
