Ep 50: Sophia Wood & an AMR exhibition. Preventing resistance evolution. Policy briefs at EU & WHO.

The AMR Studio

Welcome to our July episode, just before the holidays! This month, we bring you an interview with Sophia Wood, designer, and teacher at the Beckmans College of Design. Sophia led a group of design students through the “interdisciplinary waters” as they prepared to make an exhibition about AMR which they named “Are We There Yet?”. Tune in to learn about her background, their process, and what this exhibition is all about. In the news section, we first bring you a scientific article about a compound reducing the mutagenesis that results from the use of ciprofloxacin, and two important news related to policy: a recommendation recently adopted by the Council of the European Union, and a priority research agenda brought forward by the World Health Organization. We hope you enjoy this month, we see you back in September. Have a lovely summer ahead! Check relevant links in the show notes at http://www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episode50.
