Facing the antibiotics crisis head-on demands action! This coming November, in coordination with World Health Organization’s (WHO) World Antibiotic Awareness Week November 12 – 19, 2018, Tiny Earth is holding its Antibiotic Awareness Campaign 2018.
Tiny Earth is moving the conversation beyond the lab. Together with WHO and the CDC, Tiny Earth will raise awareness about antimicrobial resistance and illuminate core actions people can take to turn the tide. The single most important action to slow the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant infections is to reduce the misuse and overuse of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture. Join the Tiny Earth Antibiotic Awareness Campaign 2018 and show us the innovative ways you and your peers are raising awareness about the antibiotic crisis in your community and beyond.
Big News! Tiny Earth is excited to partner with WNYC’s Science Friday. Science Friday is an award winning public radio program dedicated to increasing the public’s access to science and scientific information. Science Friday’s team will help Tiny Earth select this year’s top submissions.
To participate, Tiny Earth students are challenged to create public service announcements (PSA) designed raise awareness about the implications of antibiotic resistance and thereby stimulate others to act.
Tiny Earth is delighted to announce the winners of our 2018 November Antibiotic Awareness Campaign. We received over 20 submissions from students representing high schools and colleges across the world. We would like to thank all of our student scientists who participated and know that your PSAs made a difference in the fight to curb the antibiotic crisis.
Representatives from the CDC, Science Friday, and Merck & Co., Inc. judged all of the submissions on creativity, reach, and overall effectiveness as PSAs. Tiny Earth would like to thank our judges and congratulate the following winners.
