Our first publication! 📜
We are thrilled that our paper “Superbugs: raising public awareness of antimicrobial resistance through a pop-up science shop” has now been published in the journal Research For All.
The full paper can be read on the Research For All website.

A thank you to the British Society for Immunology, who provided important support to our grant application and to the event itself. Finally, a thank you to GiantMicrobes for their generous provision of cuddly microbes to be used as display items and prizes to be won.
The project was specifically funded by a Wellcome Trust ISSF3 Public Engagement Proof-of-Concept Award. The project received further contingency support from the Systems Immunity Research Institute.
Research time for Jonathan Tyrrell across the timescale of the project to publication was funded by ENABLE (European Gram-Negative Antibacterial Engine) of IMI’s ND4BB, and grant NE/N01961X/1 of the Antimicrobial Resistance Cross Council Initiative, supported by seven UK research councils.
