Following on from what I feel is the correct decision by my school, I will also not be posting anymore on this platform. I will still be active on LinkedIn.

Finally, our work developing a model to allow simultaneous co-culture of anaerobic microbes with oxygen-requiring human cells has been published. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Thank you to all for recommending my book How To Argue With A Racist these last few days. As I say in it, it’s a shame that it’s needed, and this summer more than ever. £5 How to Argue With a Racist: History, Science, Race and Reality amzn.eu/d/7CQh0Tp

@BioMickWatson I guess that when labour were talking so much about growth I hoped that we wouldn't end up seeing stories like this: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…. Yes the Tories did some irresponsible spending and that needs fixing, but we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water.

@Microbes4ever Well, junior doctors have a 22% pay rise 🤷🏼 I suspect the first year is about clearing up the last governments mess; October we will see tax rises which gives the new government money to spend and grow. Patience is needed.

Getting quite worried that the new government policies are leaning further and further towards austerity. This did not work last time, and it certainly won't deliver growth.

Are you or someone you know on the market for a tenure track job? do you want to live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world? do you like working w/ awesome supportive colleagues? if you answered yes to these questions my department is recruiting!ubc.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ubcfacul…

Think I just went through all five stages of grief in under a minute for my grant rejection.

@_Faecal_Matters I think it might work in non-human species in very controlled environments. For example, if you have a biosecure chicken unit where you know the birds are eating the same thing, they're genetically similar and they're getting exposed to the same environment.

New paper: Altitude-dependent agro-ecologies impact the microbiome diversity of scavenging indigenous chicken in Ethiopia @roslininstitute @Microbes4ever @TheDickVet Read more here: doi.org/10.1186/s40168…

@DrWigley Yeah, we didn't make the video :)

@Microbes4ever Some very non-ethiopian chickens in that video! I think we have some footage.

Very excited to announce that our latest paper on the gut microbiota of Ethiopian indigenous chickens is now out in Microbiome (microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…)! Many thanks to all my co-authors, and particularly my co-first author Xinzheng Jia!

I'd like people's opinion. If you are reviewing a paper and it is fatally flawed, do you still go on to review it in detail? I tend to, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I may be wasting my time.

Very nice paper about host genetic impact on the microbiota: microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Excellent Research Fellow job opportunity at QUB, for someone keen to use a variety of different microbiota skillsets (culturing, bioinformatics etc.) and work on a variety of livestock projects. Also has the opportunity to work with industry partners. hrwebapp.qub.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru…
