"Libraries remain crucial, but libraries are not passive things. They are active things. They need librarians, they need curators, they need people to love the books," - Martin C.J. Maiden, PhD, FRCPath, FMedSci, @UniofOxford, providing a Key Note on "25 years of MLST" #IPNC2023

Day one at #IPNC2023 wrapped up with a poster session. Some great talks today. Can't wait to hear more tomorrow. @IPNC2023

We’re encouraging all students heading to uni this autumn to make sure they’re up to date with all free routine NHS vaccinations via the NHS app and catch up with any they’ve missed, like the #MenACWY vaccine. More info: gov.uk/government/new…

Our #MicrobioKenya23 course has come to an end, marking the start of a vibrant new community. I’m sure I’ll hear amazing things from these guys & I look forward to our future meetings. Gratitude to my newfound Nigerian friend @OlalekanKemiki for the exquisite fila.

Not saying @MaidenLab & @keithajolley are old, but their partnership is an ancient treasure! 📜From our first course in 2009 in Malawi to the 2023 edition in Nairobi, they're still shaping the microbiology world! #MicrobioKenya23 #microbiology

Martin Maiden kicking off the 11th Molecular Approaches for Clinical Microbiology in Africa (MACMA) Wellcome Connecting Science hosted by @eventsWCS @KEMRI_Kenya @MaidenLab #microbioKenya23

Such a great pleasure to be back in Kenya for the Wellcome Connecting Science Advance Course Molecular Approaches to Clinical Microbiology in Africa

Ruth Tondey was an Ivorian singer. A few years ago she died of meningitis. Rachel Tondey, her sister, told us the details of her story. Help us raise awareness about meningitis, share your story too. Click here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Applications are open for our Genomics and clinical microbiology 2023 (15-20 January) laboratory course. Hands-on laboratory and bioinformatics training; develop your ability to process and interpret molecular data. @connectingsci …erences.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/event/genomics…

Thank you @Fran_Co001 & @PubMLST for inviting us to the #GenomeDetectives launch event last night at @morethanadodo, it was a pleasure seeing one of our productions being showcased at such an awe inspiring venue. #citizenscience #zooniverse @OxfordBiology @MaidenLab

#GenomeDetectives citizen science project launch at the Oxford Natural History Museum :) #science #scientist

We are looking for a #bioinformatician interested in #AMR and in the design and analyses of large-scale #genomics datasets. Sounds cool? Then come join us! Learn more on our Careers page: buff.ly/39zSSs9 Deadline: July 29
