Giving the keynote address at the 2020 Centre for Science and Policy Annual Lecture, Dame Sally shared her behind-the-scenes account of her work on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as the UK’s Chief Medical Officer, while reflecting on what it takes to get the right science to inform the right policy questions at the right time.

Universities are increasingly recording lectures, but academics are wary of being spied on or made obsolete.
