Help us tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR). A team from @UniOfOxford @ModMedMicro lab are fighting AMR through public outreach.

'Linking life expectancy to the bacteria in our gut: A final year undergraduate project'. Akika investigated how the gut microbiome influences longevity, with fieldwork in Nagano, Japan—home to the country’s longest-living population. See the blog post: bashthebug.net/2025/08/28/lin…

An amazing day at the Mabel Pritchard school learning about germs and the power of hand washing! @ModMedMicro scientists used Glo powder and UV torches to demo how proper hand washing gets rid of germs, and helps keep us healthy! #HandHygiene #ScienceOutreach @glogerm @OxfordBRC

Last Monday I ran a DIY microbiology workshop embedding textiles to capture traces of the bacteria with students visiting from @Princeton University. Today I was able to look at the results and peel off the textiles for pasteurisation tomorrow. These are some of my favourites

Look at what the @ModMedMicro scientists cultured from socks from a bouncy castle! #BiologyWeek #LoveBiology #microbiology Can you guess what the big blue colony in the middle is? (Hint: grown on chromogenic agar)

Happy #UKFungusDay! Not all just pretty mushrooms- fungi can also make useful antibiotics or cause disease. Why not test your fungal trivia: ukfungusday.co.uk/_files/ugd/ca3… Or enter the photo competition! @ukfungusday @BritMycolSoc #fungi #mycology

I am very happy that this new synthetic biology blog post is out discussing how art and synbio can work together

Our new blog post features the bioarist @AnnaDumitriu whose work revolves around biology through sculpture, installation and digital media. 🖼️🧬 Curious to see what is the connection between SynBio and Art? Check out our new blog post here: eusynbios.org/blogs/synbio-a…

A very insightful article in @TheEconomist Economist recently by Lord Darzi on why antibiotic resistance could be deadlier than cancer and what we can do to fix it (proper diagnostics!): economist.com/by-invitation/… #WAAW
