Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition Stall July 2-8

Next week researchers from the Modernising Medical Microbiology consortium, collaborating groups and I will exhibit the Resistance is Futile stall at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition. The exhibition is a free event in central London open to all visitors. Our stall is an opportunity to tell visitors about our research, and how advances in genetics are influencing day-to-day life. On show at the Resistance is Futile stall:

Oxford Nanopore Technology Demos

DNA sequencing in the NHS is shortening the time to diagnose antibiotic resistance in serious infections

Evolution Dance Mat

Resistance mutants arise spontaneously through chance copying errors during DNA replication

Antibiotic Resistance Coconut Shy

Antibiotic use gives resistance mutants a strong advantage so they rapidly increase in frequency.

The exhibition runs from Monday 2 July - Sunday 8 July at Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG. For more information about our stall click here and for general visitor information about the exhibition click here. Please spread the word!

During the exhibition we will be tweeting from @ResistanceIF
