@escmid.bsky.social how is something like this appropriate in 2025? There is an easy fix: many much smaller conferences can manage a child-friendly environment. Do better! Not only, but also a #GenderEquity consideration! @womeningh.bsky.social @taescmid.bsky.social

Do we need new antibiotics? 💊 What an #ESCMIDGlobal session with @marcmendelson.bsky.social & Evelina Taconelli. Turns out, maybe that is not the right questions to ask, because Abx are just a small part of the big package of interventions we need to fight #AMR @angelahuttner.bsky.social
