Nikola Tesla on the importance of seclusion and solitude (1934) ✍️ The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. No big laboratory is needed in which to think. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

Dear Phagesters, the 5th VoM-UK will take place on the 22nd and 23rd of Jan 2026. Please stand by for sign up sheet and key note. We invite you back to the Toon for all things Viruses of Microbes related, fantastic talks and posters and a place for ECRs to present. Canny wait!

Everybody when reading a paper should also be an post-publication peer reviewer. Not just to detect a potential data fabrication but also help find undelibrate flaws/errors to be corrected.

If anyone needs a clear explanation of how to do standardised antibiotic susceptibility testing (MICs) properly then I highly recommend this article nature.com/articles/s4425…

Our paper describing the simplest and most efficient way to make Short Ff (f1, M13 or fd)‐#phage‐derived #nanorods is published in Microbial Biotechnology. Chiefly based on PhD thesis by @rayenleonq, images by @the_gold_lab …icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Findings summarized by @hannah_wykes 's graphic abstract

We selected and characterized the E. coli mutants resistant to the synergistic combination of furazolidone and vancomycin, that led to the discovery of novel furazolidone resistance mutations.

We are thrilled to share our latest work published in Microbial Genomics @MicrobioSoc . The manuscript was led by @hannah_wykes and supervised by @MicroMassey at @NatSciMassey and @VuongAntiMicro (while moving around from Massey to @uniofexeHLS ). microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

We are thrilled by the amount of abstract submissions we have received for FEMS MICRO Milan 2025. To ensure everyone has a chance to participate, FEMS has extended the deadline until 31 January. Submit your abstract and be part of the conversation: buff.ly/40xqQ6T
