1/4💻Séminaire PACRI : modélisation de la bactérie Clostridioides difficile 💡 Étudiante en M2 de Bio-ingénierie à l’Université libre de Bruxelles, une formation à l’interface entre les sciences du vivant et l’ingénierie, Lolita Antunes s’est spécialisée en bio-informatique depuis son master.

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!

1- Le laboratoire MESuRS recrute un stagiaire pour une durée de 5 à 6 mois dans l’objectif d’analyser des données issues d’un large système français de surveillance de l’antibiorésistance en ville et en Ehpad pour mieux comprendre les phénomènes de multirésistance chez K. pneumoniae.

New workshop alert 🚨 We are organising a Symposium and Workshop on Socioeconomic and Ethnic Inequalities in Infectious Disease Transmission at the LSHTM on 22–24 April 2026. Sounds like something you're working on? Find out more and apply before 21st Jan 2026 iddconf.org/lshtm-sympos...

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 !

EVI-led #PrIMAVeRa_AMR project has published an article on BioProcess International on the use of monoclonal antibodies to tackle #AMR, & how PrIMAVeRa's open-access digital platform can support evidence-based public health decisions. 📃 www.bioprocessintl.com/monoclonal-a... @ihieurope.bsky.social

🔴 Our last paper just published in The Lancet @thelancetendo.bsky.social with an amazing international team ! @ongsantdiabte.bsky.social "Task shifting and task sharing in paediatric type 1 diabetes care: a global survey" #T1D #type1diabetes www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Le séminaire PACRI de novembre a présenté l’évolution de projets en cours dans l’unité PACRI. Pour MESuRS, @quentinlclrc.bsky.social a apporté des précisions sur les travaux réalisés pour «AMR Data Challenge 2025», avec Laura Temime, Chloé Aupépin et Eve Rahbé. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHkg...

One of the great science communication mysteries to me: *why* is there so much AI-generated content on LinkedIn? Not sure an AI-generated antibiogram like this is useful to convey the importance of AMR to a wide audience... 🥲

Two months ago, I also had the chance to present my simulation study at the #ICPIC2025 conference in Geneva 🫕

Day 2 of the AC Modélisation annual meeting at @pasteur.fr 💻 🦠 Several presentations by PhD students of the @mesurs-cnam.bsky.social lab, first one by Aurélie Maurin on vaccination dynamics against S pneumoniae - work directly informing vaccine strategy in France!

And now I'm very much convinced that the best way to talk about AI in research is to advocate for responsible use... Of course it has limits, like any tool, but it also has its usefulness! The key is explaining the balance between the two sides... Like we do with any other tool

Day 1 of the AC modélisation annual meeting at @pasteur.fr 💻 First day is "early-career researchers day", with a round table on careers in academia in France, and now a discussion on the use of AI in scientific writing! Good to think about why we shouldn't list ChatGPT as an author on papers...

Excited to say that we have a PhD project out on our age-sex research - looking at combinations of #AMR. With the fabulous @jodi-lindsay.bsky.social and Lanre Edun! Do get in touch for more information! mrc-lid.lshtm.ac.uk/2026-27-proj...

« AMR Data Challenge 2025 » MESuRS remporte le prix Innovation avec Chloé Aupépin, Quentin Leclerc (@quentinlclrc.bsky.social) et Laura Temime. Une compétition internationale organisée par Vivli où l’objectif est de proposer de nouvelles analyses pour mieux comprendre l’antibiorésistance

An strategy generalised in Egypt to control nosocomial risk during the COVID-19 pandemic was the use of "quarantine hospitals" 🏥 In this new PLOS Comp Bio paper, we show how this strategy impacts epidemic dynamics 📉 w/ Théo Pinettes @kvn-jean.bsky.social Laura Temime @mesurs-cnam.bsky.social 1/7

What trying to submit a project proposal 24h before the deadline looks like: (mais apparemment c'est la même chose chaque année pour les projets ANR, je découvre juste 🤓)

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 👇

Mais au fait, qu'est ce qu'on fait au labo @mesurs-cnam.bsky.social ? 🦠😷💻 Il y a 2 semaines, j'ai présenté le labo en 3min lors du séminaire de rentrée du Cnam. Pour la Fête de la Science, je me suis dit que ça serait utile d'avoir cette intro en vidéo, et voilà ce que ça a donné 👇

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. davidhodgson.me/post/sm1_wha...

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 Vol 2: go.bsky.app/EUY2FUJ Vol 1: go.bsky.app/KkZfvrh

“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%. 👉 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁: https://bit.ly/468hBgo

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 !

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 ! www.badvaxx.com

🦠 Why do public messages about #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) fall flat? Our research shows that most #AMR messaging is too technical, unclear, and lacks personal relevance 💡 Want to change minds? Make it personal, positive, and punchy. shorturl.at/otjt5

New pre-print from my lab! Plasmids link antibiotic resistance and phage defense. E.coli plasmids are hotspots for both antibiotic resistance and phage defense. Phage therapy has the potential to accidentally select for antibiotic resistance!!! #microsky#AMR#phage www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1....

Je ne connaissais pas le principe de la "vie miroir" avant d'entendre parler des débats scientifiques sur le sujet - super vidéo de vulgarisation ci-dessous sur le sujet, si vous aussi vous vous demandez ce qui se cache derrière ce nom digne de SF ! 🦠🪞 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUW-...

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"

Throwback to (almost) exactly 3 years ago while digging through photos, PhD viva day with @gmknght.bsky.social and @jodi-lindsay.bsky.social 😊 Great memories!

Hear from Quentin Leclerc, as he shares how he’s using data, equations and tools to guide AMR interventions In this interview, he talks about: 🔬 Data-driven Modelling 🤝 Cross-disciplinary Collaboration 💡 Innovative Problem-Solving 🔗 Read full interview: https://bit.ly/3ZV5hxE

Great to see this coming out - phage have such potential but there are also many dynamics that we don't understand (and need to model!) and the specificity will always be a complexity....
