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.

Infection Inspection was featured in @newscientist magazine in @layallivs column about citizen science! Check it out: newscientist.com/article/mg2…
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)]
ALT Graph of total zooniverse classifications vs. time from 17:00 on 7 February to 19:00 on 8 February. A red line shows the maximum classifications of a single volunteer = 2600. A blue line shows the increase in classifications from 0 to 114,000. The rate for the first 6 hours is about 10,000 per hour. After that the rate is a bit more than 3,000 per hour.

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/cono…

📢 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.

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.

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...😱

Citizen scientists invited to help tackle antibiotic resistance: oxfordbrc.nihr.ac.uk/citizen… 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
Can you tell the difference between an antibiotic resistant E. coli and a sensitive one?

Infection Inspection Launching on @the_zooniverse February 7! @InfectInspect @UniofOxford @OxfordPhysics @AchillesKap zooniverse.org/projects/cono…
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!
Infection Inspection is launching tomorrow for public beta testing! Thanks to all of the @the_zooniverse volunteers who will help us make the project the best it can be.
