The diversity in microbes is breath-taking. Individual cells may not look like much under the microscope - they are just too tiny.

But when they form visible colonies on agar plates many bacteria and moulds grow in the most staggering display of colours and shapes.

Being a Scientist — Superbugs - The microbial world in, on and around us

The world needs scientists. But what do they actually do?

Pop-Up 2025 - Horror Show — Superbugs - The microbial world in, on and around us

A microbial horror show — an overview of some of the most devastating infectious diseases in history.

Dare to be scared, and be inspired by the stunning advances in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of life-threatening infections.

Featuring cholera, measles and the plague, and many more.

More than 60 children infected in north London measles outbreak Cases reported in seven schools and a nursery in Enfield amid concern over low levels of MMR vaccination in capital

A reminder that measles cannot be treated, it can only be prevented.

It is one of the most contagious diseases in the world and can cause blindness, deafness and life-threatening lung and brain infections.

Enabling vaccine uptake: Strategies for the public health sector

@bjhmoffice.bsky.social

We are living in a world where we have safe and effective vaccines against some of the most detrimental diseases in history.

And yet people choose not to give them to their children and protect them and others.

Measles could have been eradicated by now.

Pop-Up 2025 - Guinea worm — Superbugs - The microbial world in, on and around us

Happy World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day to all those who are celebrating the fact that Guinea worm may soon become the second human infectious disease to be eradicated, after smallpox.

But over one billion people worldwide continue to be affected by neglected tropical diseases.

What do the Black Death, cholera and COVID have in common?

Each caused massive disruption - but also sparked life-saving breakthroughs in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.

New challenges like climate change, antibiotic resistance and vaccine hesitancy put this progress at risk.
