Very excited (and nervous) to be representing the Microbiology team today at the Royal Society of Biology's Accreditation conference. We were invited to talk about our practical training program for our Undergraduates as an example of Best Practice! @RoyalSocBio @UniofNottingham

Was made to feel very welcome @BiologyatYork today, and even found posters up around the department with my name on!

Very excited to be at @BiologyatYork to give a seminar on the fab work of @RhiMarie2 and others from the lab. Also highlighting work from our collaboration with @LaurenceGWilson and Prof Andy Lovering.

Fab co-supervising with @RobAtterbury1

Here is Bailey with happy supervisors and examiners!

Second hobley lab PhD student passed their PhD today! Congrats @baileysecker and thanks to wonderful examiners @Tucker303 and Jon Hobman.

@markowenmartin @swirlgirl31415 Happy Birthday Mark!

June 16th. My birthday. How it started vs how it’s going. So grateful to my beloved @swirlgirl31415, my wonderful F1-A & F1-B, & to many kind people who have stood by me & tried to support my pinball like path through life. So many ups & downs, but always luckier than I deserve.

@ATinyGreenCell Brill! I'll dm you if that's ok?

@HobleyLab Yeah i ship often there. $15 ship and about 2 weeks typically. Never had a return from UK or customs block despite declaring them properly and transparently.

Hey Friends, I got a few more agar stabs of my latest batch of chromoprotein plasmids available if anyone wants. They are constitutively expressed, kanamycin selected, pretransformed in BL21, open source, and made with love. Ships globally. $120/set + cheap shipping. DM me.

🚨Calling microbiologists from East Midlands🚨 We currently setting up an East Mids AMR Research Network which will involve: Quarterly seminars online ECR-led research conference (hybrid) Annual meeting for talks, grant pitches and networking in Nov (1/2) Please share widely

@markowenmartin @profvrr Yes, of the english junior academic variety, if that would work?

@HobleyLab @profvrr Of the intercontinental variety?

Starting to have troubles filling slots on my podcast. I'll keep spreading the word. I think I will put together something in case of cancellations, lack of sign ups, with just me chatting about a topic. I will do my best. Always grateful to @profvrr and microbe.tv

@Bdello_meeting @laurenspeare @JKimberleySumm @wulbja So glad to see this symposium continuing with the next generation of ECR organisers after such a good event last year! Looking forward to Sept 2024!!!

#OnThisDay in 2016, the predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus was announced to be successfully used as an antibacterial therapy in Zebrafish, representing an important step in the fight against #AntimicrobialResistance #HandleWithCare #WAAW

@markowenmartin @Bdello_meeting I remember when I started my PhD, your review paper was one of the first Bdello papers I read, as a student switching disciplines I found it to be a great introductory paper to start reading and understanding Bdello. So thank you!

Feeling low today, but also received a thank you for helping to run a remote conference session. It matters to be valued, even a little. Thank you, @Bdello_meeting
