Thank you! I really enjoyed chatting to you all. Hope you have a smooth trip back

Midway through the #AMGDMar26 course and grateful to @helenmcneil.bsky.social of @microbesng.bsky.social for coming along and talking to attendees. Also gives them a much needed rest from hearing my voice!!!

Thanks for having me! It's a fabulous course and it was so nice to get so many questions 🤩

Such a treat to attend Jess's inaugural lecture! Great to see how the work has grown & catch up with so many people 🦠💊

@jessicamablair.bsky.social is one of the most generous people I know, sharing time, ideas & credit. Brilliant science & collaboration. Congratulations 🥂
