I enjoyed a lot presenting at #LAMECS2026 this week and I was happy to see that my talk was well-received! 🏆 Leaving the symposium with best talk award! A bit thank you to the organizers and @amiposts.bsky.social and @ami-journals.bsky.social for the opportunity!

In Manchester 🇬🇧 for #LAMECS2026 tomorrow by @amiposts.bsky.social ! Looking forward to a day full of new ideas and getting to meet other ECS 🦠

There is a lot of undescribed prokaryotic diversity in existing whole-genome metagenomic data! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s World #AMR Awareness Week. Did you know misusing antibiotics leads to drug resistance and side effects? Learn about #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) 👉bit.ly/AMRweek2025

"Too often #AMR is framed as an immense although conceptually simple challenge: delay resistance to current drugs and produce new drugs. But we need to go beyond this, we need to pull every lever at our disposal to minimise infection even before we turn to drugs." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

AMR is more complicated than a lack of drugs

Later this month (Nov 18–24) is World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW), the annual reminder of this long smouldering crisis in modern health care. This is the first year with the new name as it was formerly ...
