Infection Inspection

Researchers from @OxfordPhysics and @NDMOxford are collaborating on a new diagnostic test for bacterial infections and #AntimicrobialResistance. We've created a short film about the test and its #CitizenScience project @InfectInspect. Read more here 👇 oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/long-read/comb…

Infection Inspection was featured in @newscientist magazine in @layallivs column about citizen science! Check it out: newscientist.com/article/mg2573…

We are hard at work imaging more samples for you to inspect! Watch this space… 😎 We’ll make an announcement before the next batch is up!

What an incredible response and engagement for our @InfectInspect project on @the_zooniverse . #CitizenScientists have worked through more than 200,000 classifications in less than a week 👏👏

Our volunteers have done fantastic work! In the first day, 114,000 images of E. coli were classified by about 1,000 volunteers. 😳 These data are invaluable to our project. Thank you all! 🙌 [plot: total #zooniverse classifications (blue) vs a single volunteer (red)]

@the_zooniverse volunteers are AMAZING! 🌟 You managed to get through our initial dataset by making 100k classifications in <24 hours, but don’t fret — we have just uploaded lots more images for you to check out! 📸

Join forces with #KavliOxford's @AchillesKap Gene Machines Lab to tackle the problem of #AntibioticResistance. The Infection Inspection (@InfectInspect) project needs your help to spot resistance in bacteria. Give it a try and make a difference at zooniverse.org/projects/conor…

📢 Calling all citizen scientists! Infection Inspection, a project calling for public participation to fight antimicrobial resistance has been launched by the Oxford Martin Programme on Antimicrobial Resistance Testing team on @the_zooniverse. oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/news/infection…

Want to help develop a faster test for #antimicrobial resistance? The @InfectInspect #citizenscience project from @ModMedMicro, hosted on @The_Zooniverse, allows you to look inside bacteria treated with antibiotics. Find out more 🔬 🧫 zooniverse.org/projects/conor… @OxfordBRC #AMR

Big thanks to @alisonefarrar and @sligomicrobe for leading the project, the teams/institutes involved @OxfordPhysics @ModMedMicro @KavliOxford @OxfordBRC @NDMOxford, and @oxmartinschool for funds - plus the first 768 volunteers for >95,000 classifications in less than a day!

Can you spot antibiotic-resistant bacteria🦠? In @infectinspect, which we just launched on @the_zooniverse, *now you CAN*! Cool collaboration of our AMR detection team, based on classifying single-cell images. But *beware*! It's infectious...😱 zooniverse.org/projects/conor…

Citizen scientists invited to help tackle antibiotic resistance: oxfordbrc.nihr.ac.uk/citizen-scient… Thanks @OxfordBRC for your support!

A huge thanks to @the_zooniverse users who have volunteered with our project so far! 🙌 It has been great chatting with you and watching the classification numbers climb! Your work will help us better understand what our bacteria look like 🔬 and your enthusiasm is infectious!

Hey, check out a new #AMR project on @the_zooniverse ! Loving those images. Want one on a T-shirt

We’re launching 🚀 the Infection Inspection project today! Help develop a faster test for antimicrobial resistance 😷 by looking inside bacteria 🔬 🧫 that have been treated with antibiotics! zooniverse.org/projects/conor…

Peer through the microscope lens and make a difference! The Kapanidis Gene Machines Lab is launching the Infection Inspection (@InfectInspect) project on Tuesday to help detect antibiotic resistance. Get involved and learn more at zooniverse.org/projects/conor… #antimicrobialresearch

Calling all citizen scientists! Join the Infection Inspection project on @Zooniverse this afternoon and help spot antibiotic resistance. #antimicrobialresistance #microscopy @InfectInspect @UniofOxford @KavliFoundation @OxfordPhysics @AchillesKap tinyurl.com/mrx9jakn

Infection Inspection Launching on @the_zooniverse February 7! @InfectInspect @UniofOxford @OxfordPhysics @AchillesKap zooniverse.org/projects/conor…

Infection Inspection will be launching on @the_zooniverse on February 7!

We’re thrilled with the enthusiasm for the Infection Inspection project so far — more than 100 beta testers have made >10,000 classifications!! 🙌 Thanks for your contributions and feedback!
