Great to see an archaeological project that my Dads been involved in featuring in the news bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Watch my latest film about the #Copland125 Anniversary Concert on 14 Nov at All Saints, Church Bristol. To my knowledge this is the only Copland concert anywhere in the world on his actual birthday. #aaroncopland #Copland125 youtube.com/watch?v=eFPflW…

@biosantosh @royalsociety @UoBbiosciences @IMIBirmingham Brilliant Santosh!

Truly humbled to join @royalsociety Newton Fellowship committee! It's a profound privilege to return to this program—which once supported me as a Fellow—I'm in awe of the chance to work alongside esteemed scientific brains. @UoBbiosciences @IMIBirmingham royalsociety.org/people/santosh…

This looks great!

@BS_PP Very well done to Vanja, her PhD project has developed really well, examining soil treatment effects on tree health (oak and horse chestnut), the big aim now is to get the thesis finished in the next 10 days, what a great effort doing these activities.

🎉 Congrats to our #PPATH2025 winners! 🏆 Athira Menon – Poster: RNA-binding proteins in plant immunity 🏆 Vanja Milenkovic – Talk: Drought & disease in Acute Oak Decline Inspiring plant pathology research! 🌱

To engineer resilient microbes, @TaylorLabGroup of @UoBbiosciences will investigate how beneficial soil bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens regulates genes to survive environment changes while supporting growth. @RobWJackson @Catriona1392 @JohnInnesCentre jointgeno.me/FY25FG

@johnnybr61 @kittythefool Great album, thanks for the recommendation John!

Starting the day with a first listen to this excellent new record from @kittythefool 👏👏👏

@michhulin @dieguez_vadillo @michiganstateu @MSU_PSM Nice one Michelle and Dan, congrats!

Happy to share the first paper from my lab! We wrote a review on bacterial plant pathogen evolution 🧫🌱@michiganstateu @MSU_PSM sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@AlbinTeulet @Seb_EvdA Nice one Seb!

#2025ISMPMI Huge congrats to Sebastian Eves-Van Den Akker @Seb_EvdA on earning the Early Career Achievement Award for his outstanding research on plant-parasitic nematode infection biology 🎉🏆

🎉 My poster is up and ready to go at #2025ISMPMI. Excited to share our work on SynComs for pathogen suppression in oak trees 🌳🧫 Check out poster P-324 during Session 2 - I'll be presenting on Thu, 13.30-15.15 pm

#ISMPMI2025 Happy to present today my poster about a newly discovered type III effector protein in P. syringae! Please come and visit P-155 today to discuss the story! @michhulin @RobWJackson

@wenboEffector @TheSainsburyLab @royalsociety @ISMPMI Congratulations Wenbo!

Deeply honored and humbled by this recognition. Thrilled to be part of @TheSainsburyLab! None of this would be possible without the unwavering support from my colleagues, friends, family, and above all, every past and present member of my group! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🙏🙏🙏@royalsociety @ISMPMI
