I really enjoyed working on this piece about #AI in #microbiology research with @thomacillin.bsky.social We are exploring how the data and the user affect the performance of AI, discuss reasoning, and outline 5 key principles of working with AI.

“We are currently living through a period of AI boom. But as the AI fatigue starts settling in, should microbiologists be racing to embed AI into every pipeline?” This opinion piece explores this question, and gives you 5 principles for responsible #AI use. www.the-microbiologist.com/opinion/clea...

Extremely proud of Akash Shambharkar, who successfully defended his PhD thesis investigating #phage based approaches against CAUTIs! It was a pleasure supervising Akash with Brendan Gilmore.
Many thanks to Brian Jones and Matthew Wylie for examining, and to Sheiliza Carmali for chairing the viva!
