The final panel focuses on conceptualizing antimicrobial resistance as a series of collective action problems. The background paper for this panel is available here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Our #AMR social science conference continues today, with a panel led by @lshtm.bsky.social’s Prof Clare Chandler on antimicrobials as infrastructure. This panel included a more philosophical take on the value and risks of using analogies (like “antimicrobials as infrastructure”) in policymaking.

I am delighted to be a part of this 2-day research meeting on “New Conceptions of Antimicrobial Resistance” hosted at
@wellcometrust.bsky.social in London, UK. Our first panel considered a socioecological approach to AMR and focussed on the links between indoor and outdoor air pollution and AMR.

The second panel, led by @raphaelaguiar.bsky.social, focuses on how an urban political ecology lens helps sees cities as sites of intensified microbial traffic and how the processes of urbanization accelerate the health and social consequences of antimicrobial resistance. #AMR #OneHealth

The first panel is led by Isaac Weldon, who argues that AMR is an outcome of interacting worlds – microbial and social – that must be balanced. Too much use drives natural selection; too little use allows infections to unnecessarily spread. Need to achieve optimum between access and conservation.

These are the four conceptions that we will be exploring over these two days: AMR as 1) collective action problems, 2) socio-ecological dynamics, 3) urban political ecology, and 4) infrastructure.

Today @mathieujpp.bsky.social kicks off a two-day social science research meeting on “New Conceptions of Antimicrobial Resistance”, funded by SSHRC and hosted at @wellcometrust.bsky.social in London, UK. The goal is to explore different ways of thinking about AMR in order to identify new solutions.

Hi @madhupai.bsky.social, you should add @wellcometrust.bsky.social. I hope you’re doing well!

Wellcome Trust is on Bluesky! I might have played a tiny part in encouraging this to happen. Follow @wellcometrust.bsky.social and @wellcomecollection.bsky.social to hear about how this global charitable foundation is supporting science to address the urgent health challenges facing everyone.

Great panel discussion. Although I’m not personally convinced there are enough wins for enough countries to solve each global problem in isolation without also negotiating for advantages and concessions across issue areas. But for those problems that we can solve in that way, we should!

Great to be at LSE for the book launch of “New World, New Rules: What Works for Global Governance” by George Papaconstantinou and Jean Pisani-Ferry. Their book argues we’ll need to make global progress by tackling issues separately and prioritizing the countries especially relevant within each area.
