Each year we fund and support many of our members to host their own conference. Early Career microbiologists, Joseph Moulton, shares how @CampyUK2025, organised by the Sheppard Group, helped grow his knowledge and understanding of his contribution to his field.

Excited to attend @CampyUK2025 in Oxford (Sept 24–25), organized by @UniofOxford! #PANDOMIC will join global experts to discuss #Campylobacter, genomics, AMR & #OneHealth. Stay tuned for updates! @EU_HaDEA @EU_Health

CampyUK 2025, supported by a Microbiology Society Conference Grant, will take place in Oxford on 24—25 September. Early bird & abstract deadline extended to 7 August! Final registration is 7 September. Find out more: campyuk.web.ox.ac.uk #CampyUK2025 #AMR @CampyUK2025

@MarkHawkes4 @Dunn_School @MaidenLab @OxfordBiology @OxfordMedSci Anytime Mark! 😂 It was nice talking to you!

@Dunn_School @MaidenLab @OxfordBiology @OxfordMedSci Thanks, Fran, for the science lesson. Might have to run through it one more time!😆

Are your gut bacteria naughty or nice? Sometimes they change their mind, and this is what the @MaidenLab works on! Their entry to our Christmas decoration competition saw both pathogenic and comensal bacteria getting along in a Christmas wreath 🦠🎄

Season's Greetings #GenomeDetectives! Thank you for your hard work and achievements this year, we are so grateful for your support. Watch this space for more developments coming in the New Year...

In addition, the annotation status for any scheme can now be displayed within a dashboard.

BIGSdb v1.38.1 has been released. This expands the use of front-end dashboards to summarize individual projects within an isolate database. These are fully customizable by end users and can be specific for individual projects.

@ThomRawson @UniofOxford @OxfordBiology Congratulations Thom! 🎉
