No2...Predicting pathogen evolution: using experimental evolution to understand the impact of phage therapy on Clostridioides difficile with @RobFagan tinyurl.com/22vzvb27 #microbialevolution #pathogenevolution #PhDposition

PhDs avaliable in the lab! No1....what are rhizobia up to OUTSIDE the symbiosis? tinyurl.com/8mybvaha with Prof Tim Daniell. Come along to our project info session Tues 10th at 2pm. register here tinyurl.com/y76au57n #microbialevolution #symbiosis #PhDposition

We have 2 fully funded PhD studentships available through the new Yorkshire Biosciences DTP (starting Oct 25) - please share! Both projects are focussed on #phage that infect #Cdifficile

@CCWendling @zbailey1991 Congratulations @zbailey1991 on a brilliant defense and awesome thesis. Sad I missed out on that hat!

Proud PI moment. Congratulations to Dr @zbailey1991 on his PhD 🥳🥂

@RobFagan Oh that lab looks so shiny! Looking forward to lots of phagey adventures on F floor (ph phloor?)

Don't walk, run! This looks like an amazing project and dream team.

Exciting news: MEEhubs has been rescheduled and will be held from January 9-11th 2024! Mark your calendars and maps! Hubs will be in USA West (UC San Diego), Mexico (UNAM), USA East (Emory), USA NorthEast (Boston College), the UK (Oxford Uni) and Switzerland (Uni Lausanne) (1/3)

@LindC15 sadly this round of funding is not. The ACCE DTP (and most other UK DTPs) generally can fund one or more students to the international fee level but this one-off funding is restricted to the home student level only. Sorry!

More £££ is now available to study the interplay between evolution and horizontal gene transfer in the emergence of novel symbiotic strains. 🚨Closes 8th march 🚨 go to ellieevolves.co.uk to find out more about the lab and get in touch. findaphd.com/phds/project/a…

@bramvandijk88 That'd the one 🤦 well spotted!!

As a regular listener of TWIM it’s super exciting to have our latest paper featured in it! If anyone fancies a little listen to this week in Microbiology they’ve included our ⁦⁦recent @PLOSBiology⁩ paper. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/thi…

Prophage mediated control of higher order interactions - insights from systems approaches EcoRxiv by @CCWendling ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie…

Closes 31st March, aiming for an early summer start!

🎉🚨 1 year, technician job available. We'll be working on a super fun project using experimental evolution to explore plasmid-mediated host shifts in rhizobia. jobs.ac.uk/job/CYC560/res… harrisonlab.co.uk

HGT is not a bacterial process! It's a product of interactions between bacteria and all the inhabitants of the genetic ecosystem ❤️🦠👇 lovely perspective from @MicroTanya @Vicki_TR_Orr @jpjhall

So our recent paper from @JohnInnesCentre with @BrockhurstLab, @ellieevolves @jpjhall @RobWJackson is out in @PLOSBiology. So here’s a little thread about what we found, because in my biased opinion it’s pretty cool.

@CyanoNey @coevolving We drizzle a line of phage down a plate then streak a bunch of bact across the line. Same idea but we don't have the high volume of concentrated phage for plates

this was published after we wrote it but a beautify and excellent resource showing how academia is failing black academics in particular... nature.com/immersive/d415…

Co-created with my brilliant but not twittery colleagues Raheela Awais @LivUniLifeSci, Melody Obeng from @ScienceShef and Wajeeha Aziz from @BSMSMedSchool

Are the 'pillars of ED&I' like '#BAME' limiting our approach to achieving equity for #academicsofcolour? We argue that it is the intersectional spaces that shape/limit careers. timeshighereducation.com/campus/interse… #THEcampus #BlackinSTEM #EquityinSTEM #MinoritiesInSTEM #DiversityandInclusion
