@RowanKuminski Just came across a slew of hate speech and am constantly baffled when TERFs resort to bullying. I’m so sorry this happened to you. I hope you find something in Spain!
Gave a talk about amplicon sequencing of Ngono AMR (soon to be routine practice) at #cdic2024 today.
So What next? We NEED sensitive collection of sexuality, gender identity and sociodemographic data to get on top of AMR STIs before they become superbugs!
This ‘chick with tattoos and a mullet’ aka wildlife conservation biologist @tiahnijade gave a BRILLIANT talk discussing climate change impacts, social determinants of health & underlined importance of decolonisation for regeneration. Great kick off for the plenary #CDIC24
For anyone who see this ‘risk’ as an overly cautious perspective, I would like to remind you that only 34 of the 193 UN recognised countries have enacted same-sex marriage legislation.
We need this talk! As an ‘out’ ECR this is a constant concern & every choice to champion my community is a risk. Representation like this signals potential beyond TT & reduces pressure - so I feel safer even trying academia.
Ty for your courage!
Pls keep speaking up 💖🤍🧡
If you want to actually HELP 🏳️🌈
1. Get tested if you suspect an STI &
2. Take the appropriate drugs once diagnosed 💊💪
3. Encourage antibiotic stewardship & one health principles 🌎 🌊💚
4. DON’T exclude relevant communities🏳️⚧️⚧️

We are in an AMR crisis, and yet the ASHM is rolling out an antibiotic dose as a prophylactic ‘morning after pill for STIs’ 💊🦠🤔
Scroll for why this is a bad idea:

We can’t even routinely collect sexual behaviour data at present to map sex networks & understand community impacts, let alone get sequencing done by public health. So by the time AMR is booming, we will be too late to control the spread. & uncertain on the exact how 8/🧵
