🌊 Wild swimming is irresistible right now! 🌞🏊♀️
But do swimmers experience infections more often than non-swimmers? To find out, we need YOU 🙋♀️
If you've swum in the past 2 weeks, we want to hear from you

Loved giving out our first AQA accredited Unit Award Scheme certificates! It’s wonderful to be able to give formal recognition of the skills and learning our students have shown! We’re in a trial phase and should have this available for all our students for September! 🥳
Know anyone who wants to join our ‘Effective Outreach with Children’ course? Learn to inspire children with your specific field of research. The online #PGR course is running in November, book your place and find out more here! 👇😀

Please share with any 🇬🇧UK resident 🇬🇧 who might be interested in taking part!
We’re looking for non-swimmers concerned about pollution in our rivers and lakes spreading ‘superbugs’.
The Poo-Sticks project aims to find our how bacteria in the water affects us.
But the researchers at @ECEHH need participants.

📷 Are you concerned about the state of UK rivers and lakes? Whether you're a swimmer or not, you can make a difference!
Help us quantify the health risk to people who bathe in UK rivers - a key question raised by Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty in a recent report from the National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC). Get involved and become a research champion today!
Take part now --> bit.ly/freshwater-swim-surve…

What an amazing job #phd researchers from @sheffielduni did, inspiring & engaging #homeed children at the end of our ‘Effective Outreach with Children course! Loved seeing them using the skills & knowledge they’d gained while having a brilliant time! 😊 #scicomm
Wow! What an amazing afternoon introducing 15 home-educated students to scientists from the @sheffielduni . We had so much fun and it was hard for everyone to leave at the end! 😀

What a privilege it’s been to work with these fantastic #phd researchers from @sheffielduni this week! Today they put their new #outreach skills to the test as they wowed 15 #homeeducated children with their ‘Effective Outreach With Children’ skills at the end of our course!👏 😀
Looking forward to welcoming lots of #homeeducation students to meet our #phd researchers today at @sheffielduni in the final day of the Effective Outreach with Children course! 😀

A day packed full of interesting discussions and idea sharing as our #phd researchers learned how to work effectively in a range of education settings, on day 2 of the ‘Effective Outreach with Children’ course today! 😀

Yes, in fact, I am recruiting people NOW to take part in a study assessing health risks from exposure to these bugs. To find out more & sign up ->> ecehh.org/news/poo-sticks-ri…
Testing done further downriver, but a reminder that bacteria in raw sewage are high risk for developing antibiotic resistance. @PenkovaElitsa is currently researching antibiotic resistant strains even in a beautiful, rural river like the Dart in Devon.
