Thrilled to share our review Bacterial genome structural variation: prevalence, mechanisms, & consequences in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social

Thanks to my wonderful co-authors @sarah-kay3.bsky.social @apreston243.bsky.social & @gemma-langridge.bsky.social for a lovely experience

What a great 2nd day @biochemsoc.bsky.social #BioPhyChrom2025. Who else is excited for another day of discussing #Prokaryotic #Chromosomes?

Love #outreach? I recommend visiting the National #STEM learning centre's resource library! A wealth of ideas for inspiring the next generation of scientists

Do you have a favourite part of day 1 @biochemsoc.bsky.social #BioPhyChrom2025. A particular talk? The poster session? Flashbacks of being a fresher?

For myself, it was a friendly environment that facilitated open & lively discussions between experts from different disciplines👨‍🔬🧬👩‍🔬🦠

Let day 2 begin!

Congrats everyone for making it through the 1st week after summer! I don't know about you guys but after 3 months packed with mini breaks I have found my "normal" 5 day working week tough! Think I am ready to tackle the last bit of this year... Remembering I'm doing it for these guys makes it easier

As we leave late summer behind & enter autumn & some normality, we have been able to get together to celebrate some awesome achievements by our @stevenrudder.bsky.social & @eh-hayles.bsky.social. In a Langridge lab tradition, both received their coasters of their 1st author papers in the group!🎉🥳🎊
