The SPACES Project

The latest @SPACES__Project group paper from the @StirBES team. Here, we show how the #plastisphere can provide protection for pathogenic #Salmonella against UV exposure! Check it out here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Publication!! Exciting work by Luke Woodford et al investigating the transfer of Salmonella Typhimurium and Vibrio cholerae from plastic mulch onto spinach and basil leaves @StirBES sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Fantastic talks from Stirling members of the SPACES team at the @MicrobioSoc conference last week!

Yesterday was a great day for @SPACES__Project . We engaged community members on the drone-based aerial mapping that I will be conducting to map urban waste. People appreciated the image-capturing process, saw the captured images, and asked questions. @MlwTrust @LSTMnews

Great work by @Hannah_White1 of the @SPACES__Project discussing the increase of disposable diapers on waste piles in informal settlements #PlasticPollution @StirBES Open defaecation by proxy: Tackling the increase of disposable diapers... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Latest paper from @SPACES__Project @StirBES looking at the ability of clinically important E. coli strains to persist and retain pathogenicity on plastic waste #plastic #pollution sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great talk!

Looking forward to hearing Rebecca Metcalf from @StirBES presenting her work on pathogen persistence on environmental microplastics #microbio23 (Hall 5; 10:45)

Really enjoyed presenting our recent work on E. coli (@Hannah_White1 ) and Salmonella (@MOrmsby8 ) persistence on environmental plastic waste at #microbio23 annual conference @StirUni

Come and hear about our latest @SPACES__Project work on the persistence of clinical E. coli (p522) and African Salmonella (p528) on environmental plastics in the #microbio23 poster session tonight!

A little snapshot of one of our current experiments @StirBES looking at the persistence of #pathogens on the surface of different materials. #plasticpollution #OneHealth

The @StirUni SPACES team recently visited Malawi and Tanzania to meet with local project partners to discuss the project’s progress and visit key field sites. spacesproject.stir.ac.uk/uk-spaces-team…
