Soapbox Science festival in Munich features BactiVax ESR Enisa Smlatić

BactiVax researcher Enisa Smlatić shared her view on how to tackle antimicrobial resistance, which is a huge global burden.

Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and the science they do. Soapbox Science events transform public areas into an arena for public learning and scientific debate; they follow the format of London Hyde Park’s Speaker’s Corner, which is historically an arena for public debate. With Soapbox Science, everyone has the opportunity to enjoy, learn from, question, probe, interact with and be inspired by leading scientists. The festival is now taking place every summer in cities from over 15 countries, including Germany, Ireland, Argentina, Australia, UK, Canada, Nigeria and the US.

This summer, our ESR, Enisa Smlatić, participated as a speaker at Soapbox Science Munich, with a public talk on ‘How can we prevent a global antimicrobial resistance apocalypse from happening?’ (24th July 2021). Enisa is an early stage researcher based at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and focuses on developing vaccines against antimicrobial resistant pathogens.

In adition to working as a researcher, Enisa is also an excellent science communicator and an enthusiastic vaccine advocate.
