Lots of great discussions at TORCH's Communication, Narratives, and Antimicrobial Resistance Workshop - hearing from clinicians, patients, journalists, artists and more! #AMRComms 🦠🗨️💊
Our recent review on predictors of #antimicrobial#resistance in #livestock aimed to be comprehensive, but that makes it a long read! I'm pleased to announce that we now have a 6 minute #audio#summary on @acaudioapp. Listen free here:

Fab 3 days with livestock #OneHealth#AMR researchers from 4 continents at @EdinburghUni. Talks covered everything from economic models to phylodynamics of AMR mutations, & I even got to present my Horrendogram of system complexity. Our hard work organising paid off!💊🐄🐟📈🦠🧫
I presented some of my recent #AMR research at @EdinburghUni yesterday and caught up with fellow #PhD students researching a huge variety of topics in veterinary and human medicine, food systems, sustainability and core science - fascinating stuff!
@OpenAcademics The chance to indulge my curiosity! Both in terms of doing my own research and learning what my fellow researchers are up to, in my field and beyond 🤩
📣 New @FAO report: The status of women in agrifood systems
👩🌾 Women's equality in the sector =
🌍 $1 trillion boost to global economy
🍲 45 million people no longer food insecure
🌪️More resilience against climate and other shocks

All set to talk about #AMR at the Edinburgh Science Festival with my colleague Joana Mends, a fellow @EdiAMR scientist - Joana researches #environmental AMR while I focus on farming so we're a real #OneHealth team!
@EdSciFest@SBSatEd
Presenting some of my #livestock#AMR research at this year's @BSAS_org conference - lots of very interesting and thought provoking talks - looking forward to many more over the next few days #BSAS2023
@WvSchaik@JPIAMR Health interactions go beyond contagion. E.g. healthy livestock are often key to livelihoods & nutrition, especially in LMICs - OHHLEP's definition of #OneHealth specifically identifies a need for safe & nutritious food. I'd argue AMR's a OH problem, however much/little zoonosis.
@WvSchaik@JPIAMR Even if there were zero transfer of antimicrobials and AMR genes/organisms from other animals and the environment to humans, surely keeping veterinary medicine working would still be important? #OneHealth is not just about zoonotic disease.
Really pleased now to be welcoming Frank Aarestrup to give the @edin_EID Winter Lecture on Beating the #SilentPandemic#AMR - infectious diseases is one of our greatest health issues - and S.aureus is the most beautiful bacteria in the world!! #waaw
