Please RT: We have an open PDRA position (strong Python skills essential) to come and work on the genomeRxiv project with us at Strathclyde (advert below). The advert has a current project end date, but we will be applying for a no cost extension. strathvacancies.engageats.co.uk/Vacancies/W/42…

Congratulations to @RobynBraes - New Dr in the house!! Very proud supervisor and of her, starting a PhD in 2020-mid-pandemic & doing a great job! Thanks to @CorreLabo and @DanWalkerLab for examining!

Congratulations to our very own @kiepczi on her successful viva 🎉🎉🎉 Many thanks @VartulSangal and @evaheinz7 for a thorough examination & great suggestions for her next publications. Proud supervisors @widdowquinn & @paulhoskisson also pictured ;)

Would you like to come and work with us building tools to help resolve the thorny issue of microbial classification? If you would, we have a post available: strathvacancies.engageats.co.uk/Vacancies/W/64…

Arrived in Edinburgh for #microbio24! I’ll be talking all about metabolism and MDR in the Metabolism forum on Wednesday afternoon 😍 drop me a message if you fancy a chat/coffee/beer!

Looking forward to presenting at #microbio24! Come say hi at poster A298. Also looking forward to co-hosting the microbial physiology, metabolism and molecular biology forum. Looking forward to seeing everyone there 🦠

Meet @GavinHThomas team at @MicrobioSoc #Microbio24 – check out our talks and poster presentations 👇

Congratulations to the very talented and newly-vivaed Dr Hobbs! Many thanks to @CreeveyLab for a great job as external (the viva sounded fun!) - flanked here by @TraceyGloster and me as extremely proud supervisors @univofstandrews @SCompbiol @SIPBS_Strath

1/n Final review of our trilogy on the superfamily of ammonium transporters published in @FEBSJournal doi.org/10.1111/febs.1… @PaulHoskisson @GDW_1994 @AdrianaBizior @widdowquinn @GavinHThomas @SIPBS_Strath @StrathScience @StrathclydeOA @solutecarriers

It was fantastic to be involved in this meeting - I think we found a lot of common ground to move forward together with recommendations around microbial nomenclature. Many thanks to the organising team, especially @fragilismatters for driving everything!

Extremely valuable getting together clinical microbiologists, taxonomists and all sorts of other researchers to build consensus on questions of bacterial nomenclature at @MicrobioSoc #FitForPurpose2023 in Strathclyde #IJSEM

We're incredibly proud of Emma (who wisely is not on Twitter) and her work on this with us and @traceygloster - her first published paper! Do you need a tool to obtain, collate and process carbohydrate active enzyme data? You might like cazy_webscraper!

@kiepczi (PhD student with @scompbiol and @PaulHoskisson) has presented this at a few conferences, and we're delighted she has her first written work out for you to read.

Congratulations to Emma (wisely not on Twitter…) whose first paper with @TraceyGloster and @widdowquinn has just been accepted in MGen. (preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…)

Are you interested in fungal genome evolution and transposable elements? Fancy pursuing a PhD in the Netherlands? Consider applying to join our team @BinfUtrecht @UUBeta uu.nl/en/organisatio…

Call me a snowflake, but the thing I really, really don't want to hear from the person wielding the drill and pliers is 'I'm not actually a dentist, as such, but ...'
