@Louise_Cheynel Who's the doggie?! 😍😍😍

@GhafliHawra Congratulations 😁😁

Connected Papers will make your literature review process super-efficient. Here's how to use it (to save your time and energy):

Presenting some of my PhD research at the #BES2022 poster session today. Drop by poster B10.1 to find out more about the gut eukaryome and disease state of wild house mice! 🦠🐭🧬 @Louise_Cheynel @LivUni_IVES @ACCE_DTP

So many interesting and ecologically relevant animal #microbiome papers out in @molecology recently! Here are just a few examples: 🧵

Presenting my first PhD poster. Come and have a chat later today if you’re interested in meiotic drive and the effects of suppression of fly testes! Poster number 359! I’d love to meet you :) #ESEB2022 #S23 #meioticdrive @eseb_org @LivUni_IVES

Finally presenting some of my PhD work at a conference! Drop by poster 535 today if you're interested in wild mouse gut microbiomes and want to have a chat! 🐀 #ESEB2022 @LivUni_IVES

Happy to say our Nat Comms paper has been published! Genomic diversity across the Rickettsia and ‘Candidatus Megaira’ genera and proposal of genus status for the Torix group rdcu.be/cNo54

The CO-EEID worked hard to make it possible : we managed to increase the maximum number of places for the EEID 2021 conference. Registration is open again until Friday June 4 (or before if we reach the new threshold). eeidconference2021.org/registration-3/

@eeid2021 Have all the places been filled for the meeting?😭😭😭I can't find a link on the website to register or I am missing it?

@LiverpoolGuild @LivUni @LivUni_IVES @LivUniLibrary do you know what's happened with student ID cards? PhD students who require daily access to labs have had their card reprinted? Currently no access for students and no warnings given.

....Differences between control and low MAC mice were progressively bigger each generation Introducing control microbiota to low-MAC 4th gen mice restores lost microbiota 🦠🐁🌽

How do MACs (microbe-accessible carbs) affect 🐁microbiome? nature.com/articles/natur… Low MACs diet reduces key taxa in the gut, some taxa don't recover after switch to high MACs Carb-degrading enzymes are reduced after 4 gens on low MAC diet=loss of glycan degrading capacity....

Summarising a journal article into 280 characters is a lot more challenging than I thought it would be... A new week = 5 new articles ⬇️

How does Giardia alter microbiota?🦠🐁 Mice (w/ or w/o antibiotics) were infected with Giardia Higher Giardia burden in mice w/ antibiotics Giardia altered microbiota diversity and abundance in gut Potentially mediated by inflammation or Giardia metabolism iai.asm.org/content/85/6/e…

First up, how does the microbiome interact with protozoal infections in humans? Microbiota can either provide additional immunity to the host or increase virulence but we need to understand these mechanisms much more.🦠🧬 journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…

In an attempt to conquer my ever-growing 'to read' list (and use Twitter more 🧐), I'm going to tweet a summary of each article once I have read and understood it. My starting aim is one paper a day... 🐭🦠

Great workshop from @Joysci giving an insight into the peer review process for both authors and reviewers! #ACCEconf20 @ACCE_DTP

Super interesting workshop full of useful info ran by @ASanchez_Tojar on evidence synthesis for #ACCEconf20 Will definitely be taking this on-board for my own meta-analysis! @ACCE_DTP

Soooo I gave my twitter handle to #ACCEconf20 to try and gain some new followers and increase my audience reach. I guess that means I have to actually start using twitter now... acce2020.com/twitter-handles #scicomm #phdlife
