Courageous conversations were had in Canberra this week.

It was excellent to be in the room for the National Biotech Medtech Development Summit co-hosted by #AusBiotech and #MTPConnect.

All ideas were on the table during this dynamic national conversation.

Excited to be in Adelaide for the MTPconnect Innovation in Antimicrobials event ahead of attending 2025 ASM Conference @aussocmic.bsky.social

Surveillance of antimicrobial use and resistance ‘in isolation is like counting raindrops in a thunderstorm’ - we need more investment in innovation and prevention of AMR. Dr Richard Alm

‘Pharma companies make money on a new drug by selling a lot or charging a lot - but with antimicrobials neither is possible.’ - Andrew Bowskill #AAMRNet.
Delinking funding from use is the only way to stimulate investment in new antimicrobials #MTPConnect #AMR #antimicrobials @drewabow.bsky.social

Been there, got that T shirt. My boss at MTPConnect got an email telling her I had been an awesome keynote speaker at a conference literally as she was secretly arranging to have me forced to resign, for being too feminist.

The survey closes Feb 28 2025
It is important many Australian researchers complete this survey to present as strong a voice as possible for #AMR to be central to the Strategy
