Finishing up this amazing 2025 edition of our course with a new teacher - Tzeni Karamanli brings us the #marketing perspective to communication. Similar but not the same as #scicomm, there is a lot to learn to be more effective communicators, and why not, perhaps explore a new career! #scicommUU25

This is the coolest image I’ve ever seen of Giardia! Nice to see how it might attach to cells and not just being represented like a scream wide-eye cartoon 😱 haha

Our students now put knowledge to practice giving us short presentations that are relatable, memorable and impactful. Through them we learned about sustainable fuels, microorganisms, Y chromosome loss, cooking vs. lab work & parasites. #SciCommUU25

130

@hugogdtc.bsky.social continues our course with oral presentation skills and pitch techniques. Storytelling as a central point to be memorable and grab attention. #SciCommUU25

110

Final day of #SciCommUU25 comes in hot with Adeline Marcos from FECYT, bringing us the world of science journalism. How do science becomes news? The students had their own take on it covering the project EcoSentinel, which looks into enhancing plants to become nature’s guardians 🌿🌱 ecosentinel.eu

Closing off day 2 by the one & only @gorizaola.bsky.social with essential tips on how to use #socialmedia for #scicomm, and an exploration of why would a scientist want to spend time doing so! Almetrics impact, inclusive citizen science, visibility of research, and more! #SciCommUU25

We also talked podcasts! Of course, a favorite of mine. I shared my love for audio format #SciComm, lessons learned from #theAMRstudio 7 years of experience, and brainstormed new #podcasts ideas. Some ideas: Safety Bites (food safety) or Addicionary (addictions A to Z) cool right? 😎 #ScicommUU25

And continuing with a theory and practice session on @wikipedia.org w/ Olle Terenius. Updating wikipedia with the most up to date and reliable knowledge is surely a way to make impact. With 500 million page access a day globally, it is the most visited source of general information! #ScicommUU25

120

Day 2 starting with an exploration of different #outreach opportunities around Uppsala, Sweden and beyond! We’ve talked about: 📚School visits 🔬SciFest 🍺Pint of Science 📰Opinon pieces 👩🏻‍🏫 European Researches Night 🏆Researches Grand Prix ☕️Science Fika 🎧Fikademia Podcast 🧼SoapBox Science #ScicommUU25

110

Closing off day 1 with Andreas Dahlin founder & lead at @vyscience.bsky.social which bring us a condensed version of the wonderful things he & his team share in their in-depth courses. Supporting science communication with impactful & memorable visuals is so important. #ScicommUU25

031

Brady Caldwell presenting how’s to be a high-school teacher that wants their students to get real world experience and current scientific knowledge. The kids are curious and eager to learn, and there’s a lot researchers and PhD students can contribute with! #ScicommUU25

110

Science for policy is the main aim of @cienciamento.bsky.social. Edu Oliver @eduolpe.bsky.social presents the journey of Ciencia en el Parlamento, from a movement in Twitter to helping create a formal Science Advisory Office for the Spanish Government. An example to follow! #ScicommUU25

143

Susana de Lucas @reescribirc.bsky.social shares the challenges and wonders as the head of the comms & culture office at @cnb-csic.bsky.social. A very important job which truly bridges research and society!

Eva Garmendia @evagaresp.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

Starting the 10th year sharing our love for #scicomm & #outreach at Uppsala University with our graduate course. 3 days full on ways to talk about science, how to reach different audiences, & how make research have the impact it needs in our societies. Here @hugogdtc.bsky.social kicking it off!

152

I did it! Gave my first-ever #PintofScience talk at a pub in Stockholm! 🍺 Less data, more punchlines (well, attempted 😅). Feeling like a beginner again! The crowd was sharp, curious, and full of great questions. Grateful to have shared the night with brilliant speakers and an even better audience!

040

Eva Garmendia @evagaresp.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

On the way and ready to join Stockholm’s @pintsworld.bsky.social festival to talk about #AntibioticResistance! This time I feel like a beginner again by doing a new kind of talk… maybe with one or two jokes in there?? We will see… EXCITING!!!

220

So well said! Both encouraging because of the opportunities but so discouraging to see we are just not doing enough. #ESCMIDGlobal

041

What if instead of vilifying over-the-counter #antibioticprescription we taught and educated those potential sellers? @marcmendelson.bsky.social holds the difficult position of arguing against #newantibiotics, but greatly highlights all other aspects that require our attention #ESCMIDGlobal

022

Day 4 and still touching on new topics! Now #probiotics on the scene. Lena Biehl brings evidence of their use for different indications. What’s promising: - use during (not before, not after!) #ab treatment to prevent diarrhea - vaginal use for #UTI, #candidiasis & #vaginosis #ESCMIDGlobal

011

515.000 deaths, 2.5billion antibiotic doses, and A LOT of money can be saved by vaccination. Mateusz Hasso from @who.int makes a case for widespread immunization to reduce #AMR burden. Here’s the report: www.who.int/publications... #ESCMIDGlobal

031

Vaccines are undoubtedly a way to manage #AMR, directly and indirectly! Adam Cunningham talks benefits and challenges. Vaccination to both #bacteria & #viruses reduces infection, disease burden & #antibiotic use! #ESCMIDGlobal

152

Indeed a beautiful day to talk about the future! ☀️

011

Fusariosis can be as scary as it sounds. Fungal infections might not be as common as bacterial, but when they do happen their #resistance patterns can look like this! 😱 Thanks to @olivercornely.bsky.social for bringing us the new #antifungals coming to the rescue! #ESCMIDGlobal

054

4th day starts with the #antibiotic pipeline. New drugs for our bugs! Martin Emting develops synthetic antivirulence molecules, aka pathoblockers 🙅🏻‍♀️ These drugs can stop bacteria from infecting by targeting systems like quorum sensing (bacterial communication!). #ESCMIDGlobal

151

And yes it’s Sachertorte, [sajjjjjjertorte], not [satxertorte] as I have been told hahah 😄

Gabriele Pollara @gpollara.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

Ohhhh I’ll put it on the list!

Tender schnitzels, warm apple strudels, the fluffiest whipped cream you’ll ever find, sausages that keep on giving, or famous fancy cakes… Each #ESCMIDGlobal is an opportunity to explore a new cuisine, and #Viennese food does not disappoint! Anything else you might recommend? 2 days left! Ñam 🤤

How to leverage #free-text data in GP health records? Gjis Danoe presents the BERT&EARNIE #AI driven #surveillance approach. Model can pick up signals of early outbreaks! Great potential for well organized #healthcare settings, where records are routinely gather! #ESCMIDGlobal

011

Couldn’t agree more with @teachepi.bsky.social! Communication is vital, essential, NEEDED for progress! #comms skills should be as important as any other lab skill for scientists, but specially for those working in topics that relate directly with the public #ESCMIDGlobal

042

Final notes on how to address anti-science. Be open, take it seriously and TAKE ACTION! #ESCMIDGlobal

042

How can we break the **really bad** #sciencenews cycle that ends undermining the power and value of scientific progress? We scientists can help on #scicomm part of it, but little power over click-bait journalism & internet spread. @phdcomics.bsky.social phdcomics.com/comics/archi... #ESCMIDGlobal

041

Listening to the great @marionkoopmans.bsky.social at a #ESCMIDGlobal session on #anti-science and trust in science. The public seems to agree with scientists needing to communicate to general audiences, but not so clear when asked if they should advocate or influence #policy. Why would this be?

161

The new frontier for them would be to have the #utilizerID and add the new #utilizerAST test which will provide answer to 3-5 antibiotics commonly used for UTIs #ESCMIDGlobal

031

Emre Iseri from Utilizer present their method, based on a chromogenic agar on a dipstick, marrying the traditional culture method with the urine analysis tests. Easy, simple and quick to give results. #ESCMIDGlobal

131

Patrice Nordmann brings us their cheap, easy & rapid test to detect #betalactamase activity in urine samples from #UTI patients. The test is based on Nitrocefin, which changes color if hydrolized when the enzymes are present. The hope is to bring it directly to the doctors office #ESCMIDGlobal

053

In the wake of deploying new agents like new #metalobetalactamaseinhibitors, new tests look to find their usability from the get go, as resistance to these compounds can be already out there. Octavio Raro presents the NitroSpeed Taniborbactam platform based on hydrolization #ESCMIDGlobal

021

Christian Moguet brings their lateral flow test to detect DHA AmpC #betalactamase in enterobacterales. Current work shows that the test has high sensitivity and can differentiate between low and high expression of the enzyme, which correlates with resistance phenotype #ESCMIDGlobal

021

Eva Garmendia @evagaresp.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

Starting the third day with #rapidAST. What’s new trying to get faster AND better? Julia Rogers presents a new lateral flow test that can detect the presence of an important betalactamase: KP2 #carbapenemase Test like this would be incredibly helpful in low-resource settings!

021

Thank you for your relentless work!!
