When Soft, Hard and Messy Realities Collide: The Wicked Web of Antibiotic Overuse - Few problems in public health are as wicked as antimicrobial resistance is. @scepticemia explores why, using Rittel and Webber's framework of Wicked Problems (inspired by @BioengineerGM's book). infectionscapes.com/when-sof…
Thread on a new and interesting study from @NatureComms looking at how different names for #AMR affect its comprehension. Full study here:

Let's dive in (warning: long thread)! 🧵

Dispelling Myths about Antimicrobial Resistance
Did you know that anyone can be affected by antimicrobial resistance (AMR), regardless of age or antibiotic use?
Stop Antimicrobial Resistance retweeted
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global #Health threat! Bacteria, viruses, and fungi are becoming resistant to our treatments, making #infections harder to treat. Let's act now by using antibiotics responsibly and supporting research for new solutions!
