We invite applications from experienced researchers in the area of #AI for #microbiome and #genomics through a 2-year European Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) in #Ireland, a Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action. Further details👇 lnkd.in/eJE24CvR

Well done to all of the MicrobeMom team on this great output. “Conclusion: Direct strain transfer from mothers to infants of B. breve 772058 occurred, albeit infrequently…highlights potential for maternal supplementation to introduce microbial strains into the infant microbiome”

@dbikard @colin_buttimer

If like me you like to analyse genomics data in Jupyter notebooks I have something for you: dbikard.github.io/genomenotebook/

Great opportunity to publish in the new journal Microbiome Research Reports. We receive research papers and reviews discussing #microbialgenetics and #micorbialevolution, #bacteria and #phage #comparativegenomics as well as #microbiome and #virome characterisation. See below👇

@pauldcotter Oh, that’s true, Paul! I am surprised I didn’t realise it myself 🙈😁

Correction - that should have read @FrAn_BottAcini !

Nice new publication from @VanSinderenLab @Francesca_Bot_ and other @Pharmabiotic colleagues with a small contribution from us at @teagasc nature.com/articles/s4159…

Happy International day of Women and Girls in Science from this wonderful bunch of ladies who I am proud to work with @JenniferMahony7 @VanSinderenLab @UccMicrobiology @Pharmabiotic #scienceisforeveryone #nomorematildas

@LucyICM @wellcometrust @IMIBirmingham @unibirm_MDS @unibirmingham Congratulations Lucy! Very exciting time and well deserved 😄😄

Very excited to say (and still check the email so I believe) I have been awarded a✨Sir Henry Dale Fellowship✨ @wellcometrust @IMIBirmingham @unibirm_MDS @unibirmingham thank you to everyone who has supported me in starting my lab, I feel so lucky

@johnmacsharry Interesting!

MIT researchers say you're no safer from Covid indoors at 6 feet or 60 feet in new study challenging social distancing policies flip.it/jqZ0Mz

@johnmacsharry @Antcon7062 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Antcon7062 I was telling my kids the other day, they asked about GDPR 😂, I explained it was great for prank phone calls

It has been a long journey, but I am happy to see our work published. Methylome analysis supports the development of customised synthetic vectors for site-directed insertional mutagenesis in Bifidobacterium breve. frontiersin.org/article/10.338… #BelieveInScience #SyntheticBiology

Major day for higher education in Ireland as our newest university, @MTU_ie comes into being. A huge opportunity & investment for the South West. Wishing all staff & the 18,000 students the very best. Significant reform & milestone. Happy New Year

Well done Lorna !!

@johnmacsharry @Pharmabiotic @GradCoMH_UCC @UCCMedHealth @UccMicrobiology Congrats !!!!

Congratulations to Ashley Sullivan on her remote Zoom PhD thesis defence today. Thanks also the examiners Dr Christian Reidel, Prof Cormac Gahan and Dr Katie Ryan. Well done.😀🍾😀🍾 @Pharmabiotic @GradCoMH_UCC @UCCMedHealth @UccMicrobiology 😀🍾🍾

Well done @colin_buttimer at al !

Went to the city centre today and what I saw was shocking. City packed and not even a little effort to practice social distancing. Maybe 5% of people wearing face covers. Shops were very good, but their effort was destroyed on the street. This won’t last long. #SocialDistancing

“Ironically, travel has played no major role in the resurgence of Covid-19, with home-grown cases mostly responsible”. ⁦@IrishTimes.⁩ Hopefully increased attention will be given to the real COVID hotspots (most of us travel to visit our families!). irishtimes.com/news/health/me…

@aldertzomer Very nice tool! Will be trying it for sure 😁

Interested in predicting plasmids from draft genome assemblies? our tool RFPlasmid has a preprint available biorxiv.org/content/10.110… and a very simple webinterface: klif.uu.nl/rfplasmid/ . Code is on Github, installable via pip3: github.com/aldertzomer/RF…
