NIHR webinar on BashTheBug on YouTube Philip Fowler, 1st June 20261st June 2026 BashTheBug was originally a large international citizen science project that invited anyone to help us classify how well different samples of M. tuberculosis grew in the presence of a range of antibiotics. It ran from 2017 to 2021 and in that time 46,427 people took part and collectively they classified 4,746,420 images of M. tuberculosis growing on different concentrations of one of 13 antibiotics. If you’d like to hear more about why the project was setup and how it progressed in the SARS-CoV-2 lockdowns, you can watch Philip Fowler talk about it on YouTube! The original webinar was held on Friday 22 May 2026 and it is part of the NIHR’s PPI In Action series.
