@OxfordBiology @BertaVerd @ERC_Research @mplsoxford Wow @BertaVerd what fantastic news! Huge congrats 🙌🏻 🥂

🎉More good news from @OxfordBiology as we congratulate @BertaVerd who was awarded an @ERC_Research Starting Grant 🇪🇺🎉 Read more about the project 👇 bit.ly/4gf0Swc

Great-looking event in Oxford with @MicrobioSoc for those interested in microbial genomics...

@XavHarrison @wildmicrobiome @ScienceMagazine @MariaTelloRamos Congrats! look forward to reading the sparrow weave paper having spent many an hour idly watching them

Come and work with my amazing team at @NHM_Science (London, UK) examining zoonotic diseases in a onehealth context. 2 & 3 yr post-doc positions with a stats modelling and meta-genomics focus respectively: jobs.nhm.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?… jobs.nhm.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?… Closing: 8th Sept 2024

@Mair_Iris @kathelse @EdinburghUni @IsleofMayEcoim1 Hey congrats @Mair_Iris I only just saw this fab news!! Much cool science ahead I’ve no doubt 🤩🤓

My first official day as Chancellor's Fellow at the @EdinburghUni as part of a wonderfully diverse interdisciplinary cohort this year! I am looking forward to building on previous work with @IsleofMayEcoim1 to probe how environment and environmental change shape immune regulation

Great to see the Oxford Microbiome Network launch last week! Look forward to seeing how it can support microbiome-related research and collaboration at @UniofOxford...

Gut microbes move in slightly less mysterious ways… great to see this latest instalment out from @AuraRaulo’s PhD! 🎉

APC is seeking a Research Assistant to join the @ERC_Research funded project SYNergize led by @hilary_browne based at APC & the School of Microbiology, University College Cork. Deadline Friday 26 April Details bit.ly/3Q0TnNX

📢Reminder about this wild microbiomes and conservation seminar event this Thursday, free to join - just click on the zoom link in here to do so...

Great opportunity from @stn_wame for any early career researchers studying wild animal microbiomes that would benefit from some research-related travel…

@fatsnipe @SkokholmIsland Glad you retrieved a tracker!

A trickle of newly arrived Wheatears @SkokholmIsland included the first females and pairs have started to form. Male D57 is again on Winter Pond paired with F99, a bird fledged last year (pictured). In other news F85 (fitted with a tracker) is back on North Plain.

Great to have our paper on the @SkokholmIsland mice out in @molecology. In it, @hanski_eveliina looks at how we can measure an individual’s age from their poo, using an epigenetic clock. Congrats @hanski_eveliina and great to work with @tominator22 and others on this 💩

📢 Announcing the next set of talks in our @stn_wame @eseb_org virtual seminar series! These talks will explore the importance of the microbiome in conservation with a fab lineup of speakers! April 18th at 15:00 BST (10:00 Eastern, 7:00 Pacific time). See link below 🦠👇

@ProfTtweetsTB @acmedsci @OxfordBiology Congrats! 🥳

Delighted to receive an @acmedsci Springboard award to study #antibody responses in controlled human infection models for #TB #vaccine development @OxfordBiology! 💉🫁🦠 A new RA position in my group coming up soon to support this project 👀 acmedsci.ac.uk/more/news/66m-…

@iremsepil What a great paper to kick off the lab pubs list with. Congrats!! 🥂

Proud supervisor moment. Even if we don't want to admit it, luck is needed in an academic career. I feel as lucky as a person can be to have the most amazing team to work with. This is the first official paper coming from the lab, and I am very excited to share it with everyone

@JoshAFirth @UniversityLeeds @UniofOxford @ScienceLeeds We’ll miss you Josh! At least, in person now and then 😋 Much more exciting science to come 🤩

Starting a new role @UniversityLeeds today after >11 amazing years based @UniofOxford. A big thanks to everyone @ScienceLeeds for being so welcoming! Very excited for what is ahead!

Online @ScienceMagazine co-lead with @francesspragge1! We looked at why microbiome diversity protects against pathogens. It's down to a simple principle of collective nutrient overlap, which can predict protective communities against a given pathogen! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…🧵👇

Job alert! Might you fancy a part-time role assisting with wild rodent fieldwork in the beautiful @WythamWoods, as part of project on viral dynamics with @jnaraghwani @cl_faust and I...? If so check it out: jobs.rvc.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r…

Do we need to consider temporal changes in social networks? New preprint led by @PungRachael uses human networks from 5 different social contexts to show how considering the transient nature of sociability is vital for identifying superspreaders: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

@AdamHartScience @Nikolaj_Bi @BritishEcolSoc Nice one Adam!

Absolutely delighted that Trophy Hunting by @Nikolaj_Bi and me has won @BritishEcolSoc Marsh Book of the Year as the "book that has had the greatest influence on the science of ecology in any two-year period". britishecologicalsociety.org/trophy-hunting…
