In the global battle against #AntimicrobialResistance, citizens too can play a key role.

Read about the MicroMundo@Oeiras project on the #FEMSmicroBlog and learn how non-scientists learn about #antibiotics while chasing new bacteria. #CulturePlate

I'm at the International Plant Nutrition Colloquium #IPNC2025 in Porto this week as a their designated science communicator.

Even though I am not a plant scientist, I am learning so much and am genuinely happy to be able to remain close to the scientific community and broaden my horizon.

Do I have a science artist in my network who would be interested in illustrating a children's book on sarcoma cancer?

Please reach out!

Antimicrobial resistance is a public health threatwhich urges us to find alternative treatments.

In this #FEMSmicroBlog, Mariella Careaga discusses how scientists are exploring quorum quenching as a promising strategy to combat drug-resistant bacteria. #MicrobiologyIsEverywhere

I am trying to adopt a new routine on Sundays, which consists in taking some time for myself and to enjoy some creative activities including colouring our colouring book (#BacterialWorld @drsarahwettstadt.bsky.social).

For the first letter/drawing of the book, I chose to only use my fav colour!
