Dr Ursula Bond, who is a world leader in the genetics of industrial yeasts, will be joining us to talk about how different genes in the yeast, Saccharomyces pastorianus, are designed to produce beer. We would like to welcome you to join us for the talk and social reception.

Massive thanks to all teams and to our friends at @dumicrosoc for the inaugural UCD/TCD Halloween Pub Quiz, the first of many collabs to come! Also a big congrats to our UCD contingent who ensured it was a clean sweep of wins for Dublin’s best college, may it stay that way!🏆👻🧫

Our pub quiz is back and this time we will be co-hosting the event with TCD! Don't worry if you haven't brushed up on your microbiology knowledge, we have a wide range of rounds covering all sorts of topics! We are looking forward to seeing you for a night of spooktacular fun!

@TadhgOCroinin Interesting, interesting… much to ponder during our next event planning session now…🍻

Ahem…. @ucdmicrosoc… time to step up… The idea that the crowd across the Shannon are supping on interesting brews and we’re not is just not on…..

A massive thanks to everyone who joined us yesterday and especially to our guest of honour, Dr. Siobhan O’Brien @Siderophile for her brilliant talk on how social microbes can be (we then applied that socialising aspect at the ensuing wine and cheese reception!)

We are super exicted to announce our first in person event with Dr. Siobhan O'Brien @Siderophile! Pop along for some social interactions first between microbes and then people people! Can't wait to see you all there

I ahave a 1st year PhD student with imposter syndrome. After some minor mistakes, she is calling herself stupid. She thinks she is the only one making these kind of mistakes. Can I get a list of your stupid (read normal) mistakes to share with her? #phdlife #WomenInScience

Congratulations to Leon Maughan who today received an Undergraduate Microbiology Award from @MicrobioSoc. And a rare photo of me in a lab coat pretending I still know my way around a lab! @UCD_SBBS @ucdscience
