Delighted to share that @stevenrudder.bsky.social has passed his viva today!! Congratulations Dr Rudder, and a huge thank you to @alisonmather.bsky.social and Prof Adrian Egli for examining. Steven, this is so well deserved, we're all super proud of you #PhDone

Really pleased to be at #I3S in St. Malo again, this time with @gemma-langridge.bsky.social & @nisbetalice.bsky.social

Looking forward to hearing all the #Salmonella research & sharing my latest work showing that genome structure variation can influence #virulence & #AMR. Come see me at poster 102

🚨 Supporting the first nanopore sequencing in Fiji

Prof. John Wain and @emmabeansworth.bsky.social delivered in-person training at Fiji National University, supporting scientists, students, and healthcare workers in using Oxford Nanopore microbial DNA sequencing www.jidcuk.org/post/support...

This was a great collaborative effort to bring together a review on one of our favourite topics!
Thanks to the fantastic @sarah-kay3.bsky.social @emmabeansworth.bsky.social and @apreston243.bsky.social for making this a reality

Well worth a read. Diversity and representation are so key to retaining fantastic scientists and inspiring the next generation

@nisbetalice.bsky.social is presenting her poster right now #Microbio25 Come and have a chat with her at poster 301 👈 She is as excited about sharing her science as she is about winning the biggest giant microbe! 🦠🧬 #commoncold

Last year I had the privilege of completing my PhD professional placement at @ukhsa.bsky.social, undertaking researching into reported clusters of #Salmonella over the last 9 years. I've written a blog post about my experience - read below to find out more! ⬇️

At #MicroBio25? Don't miss our @nisbetalice.bsky.social from @quadraminstitute.bsky.social at poster 301! 👩‍🔬 She's presenting her exciting research with @ukhsa.bsky.social on #typhoidal #Salmonella in England & Wales over to last 20 years, with some fascinating insights into bacterial carriage!🦠

Since I posted this, Caroline has joined bluesky! @carolinejarvis.bsky.social

Totally normal behaviour @microbesng.bsky.social @nisbetalice.bsky.social @carolinejarvis.bsky.social #dontTellHR #no2

Fantastic talk from Caroline @quadraminstitute.bsky.social looking at how DNA supercoiling and genomic context affect gene expression #PhD #geneticsandgenomics #Microbio25

"My project at UKHSA focused on a microbe outside of my PhD research called Salmonella. This included looking at clusters of Salmonella cases observed by UKHSA, quantifying which subgroups of Salmonella were responsible, alongside assessing travel associations across the dataset.”

A great first day at #Microbio25 with @nisbetalice.bsky.social
Networking has begun - Alice has handed out her first business card already #prepared
