AMR-Scapes: Science Communication and Public Engagement
Summary
Professor Andrea Whittaker will be speaking about the public engagement research project AMR-Scapes. AMR-Scapes is funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant to research public engagements with advice regarding the rational and reduced use of antibiotics. Some of the themes that AMR-Scapes tackles include examining AMR news and health media messages, including scientific assumptions, as well as exploring the enablers and barriers to the enactment of AMR advice in everyday life.
