Since I joined the wonderful academic community of @uppsalauniversitet.bsky.social I haven't missed any of the amazing Lucia day medicine and physiology nobel lectures. μRNAs this year were a BLAST. Thank you Gary Ruvkun.

Continuing with more #diagnostics & #AST, but expanding to #combinations! Many times infections are treated with several #antibiotics, but how well do these combinations actually work?

Great work @evagaresp.bsky.social on introducing the @uac-uu.bsky.social and all the important work we do in fighting #AMR. Great to see our colleagues in the Hallam medical center found the very first antibiotic center in Korea, proud to be part of this collaborative effort
