Today’s poster presentation at The 9th International Conference of Plasma Medicine (ICPM9). It’s day two of five at the conference I’m feeling very inspired. The @BrendanFGilmore plasma group has finally made it together, and over a drink no less!

Thanks to @QUBScholarships and @MicrobioSoc for supporting me to attend the amazing conference. #microbio23 My poster is P696, if you are interested in liposomes and phage therapy, please come and have a chat with me😊

"How can two teenagers be driven to this much hatred?" We get it, you weren't visibly queer as a teenager so never had to face this first-hand. I was chased across my sleepy well-off hometown when I was 15. He had a knife. This happens everywhere, all the time.

THIS Friday I am part of the line-up for @QueensSU_ @qubrag Charity dRAG event alongside some of Belfast’s best and brightest drag artists! Get your tickets for a great introduction to the Belfast local drag scene for a great cause. 8PM, @mandelahall. 🎭💃🏼

The one who saved my life and stomped the shooter’s face in was not a drag queen, she is a trans woman. Let’s not call trans women drag queens during this time of grieving over a transphobic attack.

A very nice day! I attended the phage conference #PhgOx22 with my supervisor Tim @timskvortsov and my colleague Akash @ig_8mile, lots of interesting talks and posters. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Excellent. An example needs to be set here that this blind & ignorant hate cannot go unchallenged. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…

yesterday I got my monkeypox vaccine. the only reason I was able to do so was because of my queer friends. I have some thoughts about it.🧵(1/10)

Glad to see a @QUBelfast Belfast Pride event today with free pizza, tacos and ice cream! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

What a fantastic day celebrating with friends and family!🎓

Had a fantastic week at #ICPM9 in Utrecht with @Thomacillin @morton_aled and @l_mcclenaghan. It was a great opportunity to present some of my work from @pharmacyatQUB! #coldplasma #macrophages #liposomes

@kelly_beanzzz @SfAMtweets Brilliant talk Kelly! Very interesting synergy work with the quorum sensing inhibitors and all the best in continuing with your sol-gel formulations!

Brilliant day at #SfAMECS2022! Fantastic experience to do my first external presentation and thank you for all the questions! It was brilliant to put faces to names on emails, meet people from twitter in person and talk to so many other ECSs! Thank you @SfAMtweets!

@addai_simms @SfAMtweets Very well done and great to meet you! 😁

Today, I presented my recent findings on #sophorolipds applications in #skincare formulations at the #SFAMECS2022 in #Cardiff. It was a pleasure meeting other ECRs and to see their interesting piece of work being presented. Massive thanks to @SfAMtweets for organizing this.

Back home after a brilliant time in Cardiff at the @SfAMtweets ECS symposium yesterday. Really very inspiring to listen to other early career scientists through a variety of presentations, and a great opportunity to network. Looking forward to more SFAM events in the future!

Stones in his pockets @LyricBelfast. What an emotional rollercoaster! Truly a play that will have you in stitches laughing and struck down to tears within the same minute. Unforgettable. Such repertoire alongside ‘Translations’ last month, really makes you proud to be Irish!

Brilliant day spent at the PGR away day @pharmacyatQUB @QUBelfast Brilliant opportunity to see a range of research projects over a variety of research focuses!

Back home after attending the @ESCMID post-graduate course on ‘The challenge of persistent biofilm-related bone and joint infections’ in Zürich, Switzerland. Very valuable insight gained from the perspectives of both microbiologists and clinicians. Time to get back to the lab! 🧫

Excited to be setting off with Ross and Thomas (@Thomacillin) to Zürich for the weekend to attend the @ESCMID Post-graduate course, ‘The challenge of persistent biofilm-related bone and joint infections’. It’s also my first time leaving the UK or Ireland!! ✈️🇨🇭@pharmacyatQUB

Five research themes, two poster sessions and all our PG research students in Malone Lodge for one day and one day only! Have a read through our handbook, to get an idea of what our students have been up to and take note of poster numbers you'd like to visit!! #PGRawayday22
