As part of @target-amr.bsky.social we have launched a comic, by the supremely talented Eddie Ross, called 'Genomic Detectives' in which we explain, for a broad audience, how genomics can help to counter drug-resistant infections. You can read more about it here www.targetamr.org.uk/targetamr-la...

My latest science comic just dropped! A collaboration between me, @target-amr.bsky.social @ksbakes.bsky.social and Prof. Paul Flowers. Very cool bringing the story of antimicrobial resistance to life, with an interesting detour to Victorian epidemiology and the story of Cholera hunter John Snow!
