Our coordinator sharing powerful messages about #antibioticresistance last night at #pint25 outreach festival.
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!

Our first-ever UAC Career Day brought alumni + students together for real talk on life after the PhD.
From diagnostics to policy, public health to academia, every path was different, every insight valuable!
Grateful to all our speakers 💬

🎙️Ep61 of #theAMRstudio is out!
Join us as we talk with Prof. Elias Arnér about his work in redox biology and the development of the novel antibiotic candidate, EbsArgent.
We also explore:
- Resistance of Ceftazidime-avibactam
- Mechanisms behind FusB-mediated resistance

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

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!

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!).

Listening to the great @marionkoopmans.bsky.social at a #ESCMIDGlobal session on #anti-science and trust in science.
The public seems to agree with scientists needing to communicate to general audiences, but not so clear when asked if they should advocate or influence #policy.
Why would this be?
