@nisbetalice.bsky.social is presenting her poster right now #Microbio25 Come and have a chat with her at poster 301 👈 She is as excited about sharing her science as she is about winning the biggest giant microbe! 🦠🧬 #commoncold

Last year I had the privilege of completing my PhD professional placement at @ukhsa.bsky.social, undertaking researching into reported clusters of #Salmonella over the last 9 years. I've written a blog post about my experience - read below to find out more! ⬇️

Alice Nisbet stood beside her scientific poster describing her work on examining typhoidal Salmonella.

At #MicroBio25? Don't miss our @nisbetalice.bsky.social from @quadraminstitute.bsky.social at poster 301! 👩‍🔬 She's presenting her exciting research with @ukhsa.bsky.social on #typhoidal #Salmonella in England & Wales over to last 20 years, with some fascinating insights into bacterial carriage!🦠

Since I posted this, Caroline has joined bluesky! @carolinejarvis.bsky.social

A PhD placement in public health; Eleanor’s experience at UKHSA - Quadram Institute Eleanor Hayles is a Medical Research Council (MRC) funded PhD student on the Microbes, Microbiomes and Bioinformatics (MMB) Doctoral Training Programme, based at Quadram Institute. She recently…

"My project at UKHSA focused on a microbe outside of my PhD research called Salmonella. This included looking at clusters of Salmonella cases observed by UKHSA, quantifying which subgroups of Salmonella were responsible, alongside assessing travel associations across the dataset.”

A great first day at #Microbio25 with @nisbetalice.bsky.social
