Congratulations #GenomeDetectives! Our awesome #citizenscientists have made more than 12,000 classifications in 2 weeks! They're now working with sequences from Acinetobacter, helping us to monitor #antibioticresistance

Genome Detectives! You continue to be amazing! It's one month since the project went live, and now there are more than 800 of you 😃 You've made more than 30,000 classifications which is tremendous!

Congratulations Genome Detectives! You've finished 20,000 classifications for *Acinetobacter baumannii*, an amazing achievement!! 🎉 We will keep you informed of developments with this work. 😀 Next up are sequences from *Neisseria Gonorrhoeae*, a prevalent STI.

Congratulations Genome Detectives! We've reached more than 1,000 volunteers - a huge thank you to each and every one of you! 😀

Well done Ana Unitt for presenting your work on penA at the IPNC2022 Cape Town conference #IPNC2022 #neisseria. I’m sure this will be the first of many more IPNC conferences Ana will attend in the future⁦ Maiden Lab⁩

Congratulations Genome Detectives, you've completed another 20,000 gene classifications for Neisseria meningitidis in less than a month! 👏🎉Next we are working on genes from Campylobacter jejuni, a prolific cause of food poisoning worldwide. PubMLST Charlene Rodrigues

Important guidelines from the World Health Organisation and medical profession below. Over the counter antibiotics are the quickest way to promote resistance amongst microorganisms, meaning even trivial infections will become much harder to treat in the future.

Here are some more comments describing why the use of antibiotics should be carefully controlled to ensure they continue to be effective.

It’s been lots of fun helping to teach these classes 😁 Some bacteria can move like miniature bullet trains, they’re fascinating to watch!

Season's Greetings #GenomeDetectives! Thank you for your hard work and achievements this year, we are so grateful for your support. Watch this space for more developments coming in the New Year...

Genomes Detectives, we’re very excited there are now 3,001 of you! 🎉 Thank you for all your contributions.
