So we’ve won an award 🎉
We are extremely proud to have won the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS)’s Public Engagement Award 2025!
Superbugs is a cross-institute public engagement initiative aimed at improving knowledge of the microbial world among school children in Key Stages 2 and 3 and their families. Always novel and innovative, Superbugs runs workshops, holds informative and fun events in public spaces and has an interactive online platform. Projects have included enhancing understanding of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through gamification-based learning, boosting pupils’ knowledge of food hygiene and infection control, and an international collaboration to combat AMR between schools in the UK and Tanzania.
Winning this award should allow Superbugs to attract further funding and recruit more students, ultimately to be able to train and inspire the next generation of biomedical scientists, researchers, doctors, teachers, communicators and decision-makers.
Judges said: “This entry stood out as it highlighted biomedical science, leading the community in education and engagement of young people and school children in science. This will potentially result in a new team of future biomedical scientists.”
We would like to dedicate this award to all our helpers and supporters for believing in Superbugs and playing a key role in this success! ❤️
