"increasing rates of drug-resistant infections expected to claim more than 39 million lived between now and 2050" - a sobering statistic from the GRAM project: ox.ac.uk/news/2024-09-1… #WAAW #AntimicrobialResistance Medical Sciences

A very insightful article in The Economist Economist recently by Lord Darzi on why antibiotic resistance could be deadlier than cancer and what we can do to fix it (proper diagnostics!): economist.com/by-invitation/… #WAAW

Look at what the ModMedMicro scientists cultured from socks from a bouncy castle! #BiologyWeek #LoveBiology #microbiology Can you guess what the big blue colony in the middle is? (Hint: grown on chromogenic agar)

Last Monday I ran a DIY microbiology workshop embedding textiles to capture traces of the bacteria with students visiting from Princeton University University. Today I was able to look at the results and peel off the textiles for pasteurisation tomorrow. These are some of my favourites

An amazing day at the Mabel Pritchard school learning about germs and the power of hand washing! ModMedMicro scientists used Glo powder and UV torches to demo how proper hand washing gets rid of germs, and helps keep us healthy! #HandHygiene #ScienceOutreach Glo Germ NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre
