Just got this in my Lab’s holiday party 😅🙏😆

[Thao Nguyen (Shibe) @thaoshibe]

It costs $89-$199 for a poster printing
Estimated $260.000-$597.000 for ~3k posters (main conference)

$0.5M dollars go to the trash bin right after 3 hours 😭

I feel sad, is there any more sustainable way to reduce this waste?? 🥹 #NeurIPS2024 #NeurIPS

Congratulations to GAMA Healthcare Australia, winners of the Best Large Stand Award.

Well done to the team for making the experience so fun and interactive for our delegates. See you next year!

A thought-provoking presentation at #ACIPC2024 from Prof Brett Mitchell AM & Nirmali Sivapragasam.

Their CLEEN study assessed the impact of enhanced cleaning & disinfection of shared equipment on HAI in hospitalised patients.

[MJA @theMJA]

Health care-associated infections are a preventable burden. A recent randomised controlled trial presents evidence on how enhanced cleaning and disinfection can reduce infection rates.

I am here in New York for the UN High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance.

The message is clear: save antibiotics, save lives.

Love those post-docs. It's National Post-doc Appreciation Week! #NPAW2024

[Katrina Browne @savvy_science]

My first appearance on the podcast! Hear about our latest RCT and how we reduced HAIs by 35% 🦠📉

[Martin Kiernan @emrsa15]

Latest episode released and guest moderator Sally Havers talks to Kate Browne, @1healthau @PLR_aus and I about the CLEEN study recently published in the Lancet. Results so good they provoked incredulity at ECCMID

[Katrina Browne @savvy_science]

New paper alert! If you've read the CLEEN study paper last week, you may find yourself wondering how long it actually takes to clean different pieces of medical equipment. Well - we've answered that here 🦠⏳📜

[Brett Mitchell @1healthau]

As a part of the CLEEN study, we examined how long it takes to appropriately clean shared equipment in a time and motion study. Just published @jhieditor

This will inform future cost-effective evals and cleaning models.
