My super department @warwicklifesci.bsky.social is hiring 6 assistant profs in the wake of recent retirements. We're looking for people in microbiology/infection, cellular disease / immunity; environmental biology; and plant/crop science. #MicroSky warwick-careers.tal.net/vx/lang-en-G...
Potentially using a quill and squirrel-hair brushes to decorate the recipient‘s cheeks with a lovely vine scroll in mineral-based pigment and gold leaf? And a maniculum pointing at the central feature?
Fantastic that @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social not only spoke at #Microbio26, but stayed to join in the Knocking Out AMR workshop the following day. Thanks @catrinm.bsky.social, Jonathan Cox & @marwaalawi.bsky.social for organising & chairing. #MicroSky
A great way to round up my PhD work with a talk in the knocking out AMR forum @microbiologysociety.org annual conference! Very grateful for the opportunity!
Find out about how different host-mimicking environments alter P. aeruginosa biofilm from @kadeayomikun.bsky.social at poster 169 at #Microbio26
@c-cornbill.bsky.social has has TWO posters at #Microbio26! find out about antibiotic resistance evolution in our cystic fibrosis lung infection model at no. 124
Saskia is presenting her MBio project on optimising our cystic fibrosis lung model for working with Aspergillus - no. 141 at #MicroBio26 @warwicklifesci.bsky.social
How to make your own robot!
A review of people making awesome lab robots out of commercial 3D printers. Thank you @vsaggiomo.bsky.social and Sander for inviting me to help write this paper in @digital-discovery.rsc.org.

Thank you! Hoping to be able to share full info very soon.
Each publication in a #Microbio26 journal helps fund 4 student travel grants. Please publish with us if you can!
Come to #Microbio26 poster 192 to hear how @charisthompson.bsky.social is sensitising mycobacteria to beta-lactams by making them flip their wall-building strategy #MicroSky
A woman talking in front of a projected slide. The slide shows a synergy plot - for a narrow range of polymyxin concentrations, any concentration of our polymer synergises with the polymyxin when used to co-treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Cracking talk from @nreddy.bsky.social about her PhD work - designing polymers based on AMPs to kill troublesome biofilm bacteria, or to help antibiotics kill these bacteria #Microbio26
Come to #Microbio26 poster 094 to hear all about natural product antimocrobial discovery from @tosinorababa.bsky.social and me #MicroSky
The photographer is looking down at a take-away cup in her lap, and the surrounding floor. Lots of pairs of feet and suitcases are crowding the shot.
En route to #Microbio26 on a very crowded train. But I have a case to sit on and a brew, so it’s not all bad.
Quorum sensing, biosensors and careers in this interview with Paul Williams. Paul was also one of the senior people who really supported me during my last post-doc and in becoming independent - the prize is throughly well-deserved! #MicroSky

You can import your twitter feed to bsky and it imports the original timestamps. I think I used Sky Follower Bridge to do it.
when someone says "a whole civilization will die tonight" usually you lock them up in some facility. anyway, great job, media.
A lake, surrounded by trees and rushes. The water surface shows that it is breezy. Two people are paddling coracles, dressed in early medieval tunics and nalbound hats. One wears a cloak, which is billowing in the breeze.
Who else spent Easter Sunday paddling a coracle while wearing early medieval drag?
anyway ending on Ada since she started Critical AI Literacy in the 1840s

Hollywood has gone too far this time.
A collection of brightly-coloured vases and pots. Each is a single solid colour, with geometric sharp ridges covering its surfaces.
I loved the Made in the Middle exhibition, currently at mac Birmingham. 37 artists creating beautiful things with exceptional technical skills in different media. The pictured vases look like delicate hand-carved clay, but are 3D printed - by www.keeleytraae.com. Full info at craftspace.co.uk/mitm/

I'll decide if your reminder is gentle or not.
#MicroSky people, have you ever grown a Staph aureus biofilm that forms a crispy or hard exterior crust (not in urine)? My MBio student Izabela has, and we are not finding much literature on this.
Magnesium depletion by Candida albicans unleashes two unusual modes of colistin resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa with different fitness costs.
