New beginnings.......feeling excited to tackle new challenges and leveraging the skills and experience I have gained over (what feels like a lifetime) in academia 🙈

Quite extraordinary. The government has substantially cut UK defence spending for 2024-25 #Budget2024 H/T @warmatters

My first "1st" author paper finally out now. Although its a small detour project from my (in progress) PhD thesis, its nice to publish a small observation and falling it though! With contributions from past members of the Clements lab @kampouha @christy_chc

Really interesting talk with key note speakers planned with academia and UKHSA. How are we using pathogen genomics in public health?

Delighted to share our review discussing the latest models of Shigella infection, online now at @TrendsMicrobiol! @DrKatHolt @MostowyLab

Really excited to share this. A massive effort from @mulecc. We find that H-NS isn't just for gene silencing. All this time it's been busy capturing transposons, and inserting them into bound DNA. We think there are some big implications (1/4) https://t.co/y6dnpDsAwN

"Don't work too hard!" says Paul Nurse. We especially hope that the medicine laureate isn't working too hard today as it is his birthday. Nurse received the 2001 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for his work related to discoveries of key regulators of the cell cycle.

It was such a pleasure to give an interview for the First Person series @DMM_Journal! This is a great space for researchers to highlight their science and plans for the future. https://t.co/nDleOvkpSZ

Who's ready for the first Microbe Talk 🎙️ of 2024? In this episode Clare is joined by Rick Mumford to discuss his publication in #JMedMicro research, surveillance and the future of foodborne #AMR. Listen here 🎧 https://t.co/pdA88UDzZK

This one is late as it got a bit long. A lot of ppl have asked me in recent weeks about food related outbreaks, investigations & IPC and so I thought it was probably worth doing in details Hopefully useful to any STPs out there @NSHCS https://t.co/uJVp5flj1z

The first genomic insights of Shigella serotypes and AMR diversity in Lebanon is now published in @MicrobioSoc. Paving the way for targeted health strategies and informed interventions! @weill_xavier https://t.co/Lcac9c8Oua #Shigella #AMR #PublicHealth #Genomics

Interested in genomics, microbiology and public health? Come join us at the genomics HPRU conference in April 2024. Registration is free and will be based at UKHSA, Colindale in London.

A #cholera outbreak with two strains: the power of #bacterialgenomics. A great collaboration between (in particular) @LebaneseUni, @AUB_Lebanon and @institutpasteur. 👉 https://t.co/YhJrmWZA9i

#OnThisDay, in 1857, Theodor Escherich was born. He was a paediatrician and discovered the bacterium Escherichia coli. Learn more about the profile of the invasive multi-drug resistant E. coli published in #MGen: https://t.co/SutHRZTcSn 👈

Fabulous work by my colleagues @ImDrBooth, @willpjsmith, Kevin Foster - Stick'em with the pointy end ... UNLESS ... ?!?! "The evolution of short- and long-range weapons for bacterial competition" https://t.co/cOrpeqFdXl

Genomics and AMR - fantastic time linking in with public health experts and the newest policy & findings in AMR. Just as well with the newest Antimirobial Usage (ESPAUR) published earlier this week. https://t.co/9CRvfdYMXn #UKHSA2023

Are you a UK-based PhD student working on #AMR and seeking policy experience? Check out our new Parliamentary internship scheme, applications close on Friday 10 November: 👇 #KnockingOutAMR

The new Microbial Primer on transposon directed insertion-site sequencing is now available, published today in #MicrobioJ. Read more about TraDIS: https://t.co/c81YWmL3Q3 👈 @HendersonLab
