Merideth Freiheit

Very cool talk discussing the need and opportunities for high performance computing in microbial metagenomics by @Mer_Freiheit at the @HULL_HPC_VIPER symposium. Great to see implementation with Snakemake and conda!

Some great PhD talks during our first afternoon session. Well done everyone! #NorthernBUG8

Some great bioinformatics research on display at #NorthernBUG8 today. 3 meetings a year is not enough! #bioinformatics #genomics @northernbug

So excited for #northernBUG8 today and to give my talk on adaptive sequencing with @nanopore! Hopefully I can inspire someone to give it a try! @northernbug #Bioinformatics #nanopore @hullbams #microbiome

We recently surveyed researchers on motivations and behaviors when it comes to sharing methods, in conjunction with @protocolsIO and @tccafrica. Explore the data and read our takeaways and insights: plos.io/3hLdbXe #openmethods

Shanon Murphy talking us through why @nanopore is perfect for rapid TB testing for drug resistance. #NanoporeConf #realrealtime

Lactobacilli counteract pathogens by inhibiting toxin production, biofilm formation, host cell adhesion & invasion & more. Learn more about the powers of this medically & industrially important microbial group in #JBacteriology: asm.social/TN

We're doing gram stains today in the practical for Bacterial Genome Sequencing module and ended up dressing for the occasion! @sne_kad @hullbams #Microbiology

#MicrobiologyMonday: Who are the gatekeepers of the oral cavity? Commensal streptococci! In this new #JBacteriology review, researchers explore how streptococci interact with diverse oral pathogens, & their roles in maintaining host health. Check it out: asm.social/SH

@pkmon Woo! Way to go!

Approximately 50% of commercial tattoo inks are contaminated with bacteria. In #MRAJournal, researchers report the genome sequence of a member of the newly proposed Metabacillus genus—found in sea sediments & forest soil— that was isolated from tattoo ink. asm.social/R7

@PhD_Genie No, not at all! @D_R_Thompson currently works in utility sales and dreams of owning a bespoke furniture production business! It's wonderful to come home to someone who listens and supports me unconditionally, that's what really matters.

"To my knowledge, [@nanopore] is the only genome-wide technology that could be applied so rapidly to achieve that kind of high-confidence genotyping". - Tomi Pastinen. Read about the future potential of ultra-rapid sequencing for resolving rare disease: bit.ly/3CH0Mvx

#IAmABiologist Doing my first @nanopore ligation sequencing run of a Staphylococcus species for genome assembly and #AMR identification @hullbams @UniOfHull @EvoHull

@Napaaqtuk @HLockeSTEM For example, 26% of the US population is disabled (pre-COVID… likely higher now) but only 1.2% of NIH PIs had a disability in 2018. Discrimination is rampant and supports subpar at best. Even campuses are often wildly inaccessible. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32126090/
