@ATinyGreenCell If you want a hand putting something together and I can help let me know :)

I may have to start making kits for at home biology exploration soon. There is lots of thought-terminating edutainment kits out there and no one seems to want to make open ended biotech sandboxes. The state of material guidence for amateur biologists is profoundly disappointing.

@mnietorosado @IneosOxford Brilliant poster! Brilliant project.

Sharing my work on Klebsiella pneumonie; its ability to form biofilms on various surface materials and disinfectant effectiveness against them at the IOI ECR conference @IneosOxford #IOIECR25

@DrTregoning It's absolutely superb.

In Paris - went to the re-opened Notre Dame Absolutely must see - it's possible that no one in its history has ever seen it so clean and white (even when it was being built would have been a lot of wood smoke)

@DrTregoning What's number 1?

Live Forever (audio) is so close to being a number 1 (in contagious disease) If you are thinking of getting it - now's the time!

@DrNeilStone This would make you a fortune:/

I'm going to create a combined drug with ivermectin, methylene blue and hydroxychloroquine. It will make you worm free, look like a smurf and have heart issues. MAHA!

🎊 We are pleased to announce Professor Timothy Walsh has joined ICARS as an Independent Chief Scientific Consultant. 🧫 Tim brings over three decades of groundbreaking research experience in AMR. His pioneering work has been instrumental in understanding the global spread of resistance mechanisms, particularly in critical priority pathogens. 🌎 At ICARS, he will collaborate closely with the Science and Executive Management teams to strengthen ICARS’ scientific excellence in AMR research and oversee the portfolio of ICARS-supported intervention and implementation research projects in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). 🗨️ Speaking on the new role, Tim said: "What drew me to ICARS was the ethos and credibility of the ICARS team that underpins ICARS’ mission – working directly with LMICs to co-develop and implement tailored solutions that address their specific AMR challenges." 🔗 Read more ➡️ bit.ly/4h6bEov #AntimicrobialResistance #GlobalHealth #ScientificResearch

@DrLucyCJones @OxfordVacGroup This looks awesome

BiVISTA Study joins the fight against enteric fever, which is caused by 2 types of #Salmonella - typhoid and paratyphoid. It affects millions of people in LMIC every year. @OxfordVacGroup will assess if a vaccine can lead to protective immune responses ovg.ox.ac.uk/studies/bivista 👇

Women battling recurrent UTIs told us they’ve tried everything to treat themselves, from surgery to self-administering meds via catheters For Tamara, it became so unbearable she started taking antibiotics every time she had sex – a common trigger thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025-0…

Last phage count of the year! Mery Xmas everyone!

@DrNeilStone God. It's very nearly 30 years of this bullshit :/ Keep up the good fight.

Having to explain (again) that the MMR vaccine does NOT cause autism is so 1998.

We left a bike with GPS trackers somewhere we assumed it would be safe... Right outside Scotland Yard. It was quickly stolen. Police didn't check CCTV, couldn't go to a "moving" GPS signal or one at an address Government has given up and police can't focus on rampant theft.

@acolatse_joseph It gets extended every year. But still we all panic, last year, this year and next year... @ESCMID

Abstract deadline extended. We’re sooo back 😭🎉

@JessicaMABlair @hall_lab @kim_hardie This looks awesome!

Another PhD opportunity in the team! This time its an exciting collaboration with @hall_lab and @kim_hardie looking at why not all bacteria become resistant! findaphd.com/phds/project/w… Deadline 10th Jan and open to Uk and overseas! Pls RT!

STRAVINSKY study offers people living with HIV an opportunity to take part. It involves a postal dried-blood spot test for COVID antibodies, online survey & a results text. It will help us learn about responses to COVID. Link for more info👇immunology.org/partnerships/s… #HIV

Can flies be carries of antibiotic resistant genes? 🔬 IOI's DPhil student Shonnette Premchand-Branker is on a mission to investigate. Find out how in this article: ineosoxford.ox.ac.uk/index.php/news… @OxfordBiology

Application submitted. Dog walked. Gin and tonic ready. It's been a good Friday.

A new article, produced as part of Wounds that Won't Heal, BSAC's collaboration with @TBIJ, explores drug-resistant typhoid in Pakistan, where drugs are failing and deaths are rising. theguardian.com/global-develop…
