🚨 Are you a digital Research Technical Professional?
Applications are open for PeerLadder – a new peer-mentoring programme for digital Research Technical Professionals from underrepresented backgrounds across UK research, funded by DisCouRSE Network +. ⤵️
For a taster of things to come in 2026 the group has a wide variety of papers coming. And here is a few preprints if you need a good read for the way home..😉

We want to thank you all for seeing & engaging with our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social, @c-hill13.bsky.social & @eh-hayles.bsky.social who presented their latest work & with our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social who helped chair a #cool new session on transformative tools for biological complexity 😎
Before we all run off back to @quadraminstitute.bsky.social we wanted to thank @microbiologysociety.org for anorher wonderful conference
We have all had a great time at #microbio26 networking & hearing #cool science. Please watching for our news this year will be an awesome 1 for the whole group..
As @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 wraps up, I can't believe this was my 3rd time presenting at this conference. Thanks to the society letting me present my latest work & for wonderful questions. This paper on impact genome rearrangement has on virulence & #AMR will be coming later this year 👀
Exactly that! And virulence phenotypes... the paper will be a biggie but hopefully it will be published by the end of the year 🤞
Day 3 of @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 had so many highlights but my favourite was the Outreach & Engagement Prize lecture by @lindsaybroadbent.bsky.social
A moving & motivating talk showcasing the importance of being able to communicate science to everyone. Read more here microb.io/4bV2Nps
We always love catching up with the microbesNG team and hearing about their latest updates 😍 find out more here microbesng.com
Someone is very happy with themselves to have won some prizes from @microbesng.bsky.social at @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26. Our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social is looking forward to playing the biology word game on her office white board when she gets back to @quadraminstitute.bsky.social
Also happy to discuss my latest preprint showing #Salmonella aren't equal in terms of infection risk!
Herr population genomics & global datasets find lineage-specific markers linked to infection - including conserved #phages - showing potential for genomics-informed risk prediction in food safety🤔
So pleased that I was given the opportunity to present my work again to the #genetics & #genomics forum @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26.
If you missed your chance to ask me questions on genomic rearrangements & the impact these have on #AMR please feel free to find me or ping me a message 😊
Now we have our @c-hill13.bsky.social presenting her work on mobilome of #Salmonella Dublin, you can find her at poster 210.
Later this afternoon we have our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social co-chairing the transformative tools for biological complexity sessions 😀
Amazing 2nd day @microbiologysociety.org ##microbio26 with our @eh-hayles.bsky.social & @emmabeansworth.bsky.social presenting their work so well💪
They will be here for the rest of the conference if you have any more burning questions or about their preprints

Also at 2:30 our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social is presenting our latest update on genomic rearrangements, & the dramatic impacts this type of variation has on pathogenetic traits like #antibiotic resistance & #virulence. She maybe tiny, but the red makes her easy to find if you wanna ask her qs after😆
Its our favourite day at @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 #genetics & #genomics. In the poster session at A039 we have our @eh-hayles.bsky.social presenting her hot off the preprint work on the dynamics of Shiga toxin subtype #stx2a in #STEC across England, 2016-2024.
Read here: tiny.cc/y0u1101
What a wonderful start to @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 with an interactive session on celebrating & promoting actions advancing #EDI followed by @prideinmicro.bsky.social lecture on From visibility to belonging. Its been wonderful to see this network grow. Read more here: microb.io/4mnraQc
The second, I’m at #microbio26 in Belfast presenting the next stages of the project, looking at the gene, genome and phage variation of #stx2a. Come see me at poster A039!
We're excited for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 to begin but also to share the fantastic news that our @eh-hayles.bsky.social's latest paper is now preprinted. If you wanna hear about temporal dynamics & acquisition of Shiga toxin subtype stx2a within #STEC in England go see her poster at A39
Irish sightseeing ✅️
Now we are excited for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 to begin! Today we have the adoptees @carolinejarvis.bsky.social (34&35), @jcihorton.bsky.social (37) & our @eh-hayles.bsky.social (39) presenting their #genetics & #genomics forum presents. Cool science here we come 😎
We expect nothing less than last minute awesomeness from you Emma 😊...
Or else... 😉
Who is looking forward to the @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 next week?? I'm very grateful to be presenting my 3rd talk at this conference. Looking forward to showing you our latest work on genomic rearrangements in the #genetics & #genomics forum Tues. But 1st I had better finish it #PImoves
Then you might see our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social co-chairing the transformative tools for biological complexity sessions Wed & Thur!
We are excited to hearing some wonderful & cool science & catching up with you all over the next few days.
Last time we were all in Belfast for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 things were a little bit different... We are pleased that @c-hill13.bsky.social is now officially 1 of us! She (B210) & @eh-hayles.bsky.social (A39) have posters, @emmabeansworth.bsky.social has a talk Tues in #genomics forum🧬
This is no April fools!!!
🚨 @langridgelab.bsky.social has a funded #PhD for UK candidates
Do you love #microbiomes, #bioinformatics & translational science?
Come & join us, & @andrewjpage.bsky.social at @originsciences.bsky.social & get stuck into a ton of #metagenomic data🧬
Apply by 8 April
Really enjoyed working with @emmabeansworth.bsky.social and @gemma-langridge.bsky.social on this one! Am loving the inevitable phage-ification of the Langridge lab group #phages
Not all #Salmonella equal in terms of infection risk!
By combining population #genomics & global datasets, we identify lineage-specific markers linked to human infection - including a conserved prophage in S. Agona🦠
This highlights the potential for genomics-informed risk prediction in food safety
We would normally also write some sort of quib at our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social like "Is it too early to ask how your talk for @microbiologysociety.org #Microbio26 & subsequent paper is going? 😉"
But she deserves to ignore us... she nailed this & deserves a break surrounded by all the lego!
Excited to share our latest preprint!
Food surveillance detects lots of #Salmonella but only some cause disease.
Using large-scale #genomics, we show that risk:
- clusters at the lineage level, driven by mobile genetic elements
- markers can be IDed including a phage in Agona
- can be predicted
Our @nisbetalice.bsky.social and @gemma-langridge.bsky.social are in Cambodia 🇰🇭
Powering through the jetlag, they are sharing their research on typhoidal #salmonella 🧬🦠
in collaboration with #ukhsa and #fijinationaluniversity
