These guys 😍 - ready for a #CitizenScience sampling campaign for pathogenic fungi in Hanoi. #mycology #AMR Sydney ID & Hanoi Medical Uni 🇦🇺 🇻🇳 collaborating for health

We've been completely overwhelmed by the enthusiasm shown for this project and the number of new sign ups in the past 24 hrs. We now have more participants than sampling packs so the sign up form has been closed! Thanks so much to everyone who has signed up and shared!

Today is sample pack making for our July sampling month! @isobelcstanton and Jennifer Shelton are being assisted by two Larkmead School work experience students - lucky for us, unlucky for them. 😂 First of 40 packs is assembled and ready for posting! ✉️ #citizenscience #aspergillus

40 #citizenscience sampling packs will be on their way out with this afternoon’s post! 🙌🏼 If you’re expecting one, keep an eye out for it on Friday or Saturday. 😊 If anything is missing from your pack (there’s a checklist) please let @isobelcstanton or Jennifer Shelton know asap. 😊

It's arrived! Can't wait to start. Jennifer Shelton MARAf UK @isobelcstanton #antifungalresistance, #aspergillosis

This lunchtime I set up a couple of spore traps for MARAf UK "Monitoring for azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus (MARAf)", a project at UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Imperial College London The Open University & Niab funded by Natural Environment Research Council.

There are no licensed vaccines against fungal infections, hopefully this will change with increasing research and public-health focus gavi.org/vaccineswork/m…

We're looking forward to next week’s Imperial College London Fungal Science Network network meeting – what a great way to bring healthcare and agriculture scientists together to fight #antifungalresistance 👉 Register at bit.ly/44zS8tE ❓ Mon 13 Jul, 9-5, hybrid #AMR #onehealth #idtwitter #fungal

[1] EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE DRUG-RESISTANT FUNGAL SPORES IN THE UK New in Science Advances, our study involved 485 citizen scientists from across the UK to determine the background level of drug-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus spores in the air: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

MARAf team meet at Imperial College London White City campus (what a view!) today for sample swap and protocol standardisation. 🥼🧫 #Aspergillus #environmentalsampling #citizenscience

Yesterday we held a fascinating session on the potential of, & risks associated with fungi. We heard from a range of witnesses - including Merlin Sheldrake, Prof. Katie Field, Mat Fisher @KewScience. Professor Fisher pointed to the dangers of mold. 📺parliamentlive.tv/event/index/91…

Back in the lab - picking mould for MARAf UK - and remembering why I enjoyed my #PhD so much. 😊 #LabWork #Aspergillus #AMR

Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.
