Just a typical Tuesday evening in the kitchen prepping mock faeces samples 💩 for a public engagement activity tomorrow with @imogenrena #STEM #microbiology

First DIY project of the year - made a stair runner from an old bedroom carpet and used an off cut for the landing. Not bad for a days work! (it actually took me four weeks 😆) And all done with tools borrowed from @GLAtoollibrary

📢SARS-CoV-2 variant biology: immune escape, transmission and fitness https://t.co/K5lIf67HBL The authors discuss the mutations of SARS-CoV-2 variants, the impact of mutations on virus infectivity and transmissibility, and SARS-CoV-2 evolution in the context of immunity.

The Glasgow Virology team are doing 16 miles of the West Highland Way this weekend in aid of Ukraine. For some this will be an easy walk, but for those who only walk from the car park to the lab (me!) this will be a challenge. Please donate if you're able

Well deserved 👏

Well done team, so well deserved 👏 Everyone has gone above and beyond over the last two years to ensure the service has remained operating to a high standard, despite the increased workload.

Eeeek!

I was on the M8 in Glasgow this morning driving behind this van, which has possibly the best number plate ever - assuming it was on its way to the Lighthouse lab! #TestPCR #numberplates

Fantastic achievement, and a lovely, and inspiring, grand opening afternoon. Can't wait to get @streetreads library going in Glasgow soon 💕

It's out, Band 7 Clinical Scientist post. Open to those that have just completed STP and awaiting HCPC registration as well as those already registered. Happy to answer any questions. :-)

UK Clinical Virology Letter: Johnson’s reopening is a potential recipe for disaster
