In September (9th-15th) I went to Buenos Aires, Argentina to participate to a UK-Argentina collaborative programme on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment. It was a great experience and I really enjoyed getting to know the UK delegation as well as the Argentinian partners. It was the beginning of spring in the southern hemisphere, and as we toured Buenos Aires and local farms, it was amazing to see local wildlife we great ease as soon as we left the city. We started the workshop by exploring AMR from a variety of angles, then for the next two days, we visited pig, cattle and chicken farms. On Thursday we narrowed down the type of research questions that we will be able to tackle and on Friday finally, we had the opportunity to visit the Argentinian capital. I hope that this workshop will be the beginning of new collaborations and encourage greater integration of evolutionary ecology with other disciplines more versed to dealing with this public health threat.
