This is beautiful. Love your style!

MENI is back! Join us in Dublin this August 2026 for our 3rd Meeting for Microbial Evolution in Ireland. We are delighted to have @rachelmwheatley.bsky.social @drrebeccajhall.bsky.social @jpjhall.bsky.social and @tweethinking.bsky.social join us as keynote speakers this year. miniurl.com/MENI

Congratulations Taoran!! 🥳🥳

Thrilled to see this out!

A few hours left for you to sneak in a cheeky last minute abstract! ECRs, you know what to do…
#mevosky

Well done everyone! Lovely photos 😊

Had a lovely time at the University of Warwick today presenting some of my PhD and Postdoc work! Thanks so much to @jessicalewismic.bsky.social and Vishakha from the postdoc society for organising! 😊 This is a photo of me being amazed that there's a photo of me on a poster in Warwick!

Had the absolute best time at @pintofscience.uk talking about microbial evolution and some of the work I’ve been doing at @mermanchester.bsky.social with @flanagella.bsky.social and @dannagifford.bsky.social 🧫💊🧬

#Mevosky

Woooo! Well done Sarah 🥳🎉

Delighted to have won a poster prize at #microbio25 this week! Had a really great time at this conference, learned so much and met so many old (and some new!) faces. Thanks so much to the organisers for a great event and to the society for the travel grant too! 🚝🧪🦠

@willpjsmith.bsky.social just gave a fantastic talk about T6SS resistance evolution and the mutations behind it #Microbio25

Looking forward to speaking in the AMR mechanisms and regulation session at #Microbio25 today. I'll be speaking right after @brockhurstlab.bsky.social who will discuss our within-patient resistance evolution project, and I'll outline some measures we can take against resistance evolution in-host

Interested in using genomics to study bacterial cooperation?

We’ve got 2 brilliant posters at #Microbio25 today: Zohar Katz (A276) and Rosie Randall (A098).

Go say hi to them! 🦠 🧬

Excited to be presenting work from the Gifford Lab at #microbio25 on testing the effectiveness of combination therapy in E. coli in limiting antibiotic resistance spread 🦠🧫🧪 Come talk to me at poster A142 today!

Come join us! Next week marks my 1 year anniversary at @uniofmanchester.bsky.social and I've never looked back!

GitHub - rrwick/condaenvlist: a simple tool for listing conda environments with descriptions a simple tool for listing conda environments with descriptions - rrwick/condaenvlist

Do you (like me) create a bunch of conda environments, then later forget what they're for, when they were last updated, or which tools are in them?

If so, you might this little project: github.com/rrwick/conda...

Antibiotic Resistance and Mechanisms (ARM) Workshop for Researchers 2025 - The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy

@friendlymicrobe.bsky.social and I invite you to the @bsacandjac.bsky.social antibiotic resistance and mechanisms conference Nov 27-28 in Birmingham! We have great talks on global AMR healthcare, mechanisms, vaccines/immunotherapy, antimicrobial interactions and outreach.

Great week @unibirmingham.bsky.social at #AMGDMarch25 🧪💻. Main learning outcome: name files and directories something actually meaningful so I don't have to hate my past self. (Also going outside sometimes is good when coding). Thanks so much to @bacterioskeptic.bsky.social for running it!

How to network:
❌Go to a conference
✅Make microbiology-related parody stickers

🎉 Congratulations to Dr Dolan Evans! Dolan defended his thesis on microbiota of the pre-term infant gut today @mermanchester.bsky.social @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social

Very excited to share that my first publication is now out!

Joy! Published today in PNAS: multi-toxin T6SS attacks limit resistance evolution in competitors!

Big thanks to our wonderful team of collaborators for all their help: @coytelab.bsky.social @knightjar.bsky.social @basler-lab.bsky.social @brockhurstlab.bsky.social 🎉

Excited to speak at #PGG58 / #PopGroup58 about mutation rates, mutation spectra, antibiotic resistance and (if I talk fast enough) how the environment affects these.
Tuesday in LT3 right after lunch. 🦠🧬
Come for the mutations, stay for the Bluey colour schemed ggplots. 📊🟦🟧

An early Christmas present to have this come out now! Online as a preprint over a year but nice to have it as a product of my time at @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social.

Wouldn't have been possible without hard work of all coauthors, especially Evan.
