Ce week-end c'était la Fête de la Science au @museeartsetmetiers.bsky.social avec +7500 personnes ! 🦠

Très heureux d'y avoir participé sur le stand du labo @mesurs-cnam.bsky.social, mais aussi avec @eloscicomm.bsky.social pour vous faire deviner des fun facts de bactéries !

A l'année prochaine...?

What does it really mean to be “infected”?

PCR? Symptoms? Antibodies? Being able to pass it on?

I’ve written a blog digging into why infection isn’t a simple on/off switch, and why the definition you choose matters for modelling, vaccines, & public health.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE INFECTED? | David Hodgson

Defining infection is like reading tarot cards - the interpretation depends on who’s asking and what they’re looking for. You wake up with a sore throat. You take a lateral flow...

Okay volume 2 of the AMR People Pack is now full!
Two lists with 299 amazing accounts of AMR related things so follow along. Plus there's the "Antimicrobial Resistance" feed if you haven't already got that pinned.
Need 8 people to start Vol 3

“Supercontactors” are the hubs of hospital networks. Controlling their interactions, can help dramatically slow down the spread. Our latest PrIMAVeRa study showcases that targeting them reduced MRSA cases by about 20%.

Les antibiotiques sont une ressource non-renouvelable puisqu'ils finiront par ne plus être efficaces face à une antibioresistance en augmentation.
Là où cette analogie est particulièrement pertinente, c'est pour souligner l'importance des alternatives "renouvelables", tels que les vaccins !

Why antibiotics are like fossil fuels

They helped create the modern world but are dangerously overused. How can we harness them sustainably?

The new Bad Vaxx game is a nice example of effective science communication via videogames, in this case to raise awareness about vaccine misinformation.
Give it a try in villain mode though, from a game-design perspective this is much more impactful than playing the hero !

🦠 Why do public messages about #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) fall flat?
Our research shows that most #AMR messaging is too technical, unclear, and lacks personal relevance

Give Visual Studio Code a go! Plus, it works with a ton of languages, so if you want to try something else later you can reuse that 😉

Interesting way to frame this article

I think more accurate is "Researchers are sneaking secret messages into their papers to protect themselves from lazy half-ass review practices which permit the use of AI to do a job that should not be allowed to be done by anyone other than a real human expert"

Nature @nature.com · Jul 15

Researchers have been sneaking secret messages into their papers in an effort to trick AI tools into giving them a positive peer-review report

Only three more spots in Vol 2 !
If you're an #AMR person and want to be in these prestigious starter packs let me know.
I regularly check who's posting on the AMR feed and add to the list, but sometimes I miss people
Also, FYI - you can check which packs you've been added to on clearsky.app
