Public outreach activity: EDAR7 Human Library

If you are unfamiliar with the concept, it’s exactly like it sounds – a library of people. We had a library of 54 scientists as Books, and members of the public reserved Books for a 15-minute conversation. An amazing opportunity, members of the public and scientists connected on a one-to-one level to understand the threat of AMR, the science, and the challenges of the research.
