A little trip back to London today to think about age, gender and antimicrobial resistance 🤓 Super interesting to hear about how biological and social factors interact to change AMR burden... And yet how little data we have to disentangle that! Thanks @gmknght.bsky.social for the workshop!

Mais l'évaluation des chercheurs par les publications reste (malheureusement) "pratique" pour l'aspect quantitatif... Tant qu'il n'y a pas d'évaluation quantitative d'autres types de productions (communications, activités de médiation...), dur de voir comment les comités vont se passer des publis !

A great example to highlight the problem of publication metrics, as it shows that the line between "good" and "bad" science is blurry... In AMR research, we all frequently refer to the IHME burden estimates, so this is worth keeping in mind 👇

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 !
