Celebrating the legacy of our very own @rowett_abdn John Boyd Orr with the @FAO @FCDOGovUK UK and @scotgov today @CVRinfo in Glasgow

👻 | A spooktacular trio of @UofGSii professors took part in the @GUIISoc's recent Halloween-themed Terrifying Microbes event. 🎃Andy Roe,🦇Richard Burchmore, and 🕸️Ed Hutchinson haunted the audience with presentations at the well-attended event in the Boyd Orr on 27th October.

Delighted to have contributed to this article. 👇 #COVID19 hasn’t gone away, and continued surveillance is critical.

The bat paradox: what nature’s night flyers could teach us about pandemics – and ourselves @DanielStreicker worked with @gavi to explore why bats host deadly viruses, how human actions drive spillover, and what their immunity can teach us. https://t.co/sELh3YAMuc @BatsGoViral

Congratulations Dr Tyson! 🎉 @immunoloGT successfully passed her Viva last week. Her project investigated the characterisation of the humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infections in UK companion animals. Thanks to her examiners, including Dalan Bailey from @Pirbright_Inst.

Today is One Health Day. The health of humans, animals and ecosystems are closely interlinked. Changes in these relationships can increase the risk of new human and animal diseases developing and spreading. #OneHealth is an approach to optimize the health of humans, animals and

🆕 | @UofGSii postgrad researchers have taken top honours in the @MicrobioSoc Sir Howard Dalton Early Career Microbiologist of the Year competition. Emma Davies (@CVRinfo) was named winner, with Phoebe Crossley (@UofG_Micro) taking 3rd place. 🔗 More: https://t.co/Gz2jYfDI71

Scientists @UofGlasgow have harnessed a powerful supercomputer, normally used to study the universe, to develop a new machine learning model which can help translate the language of proteins. Read more about the new @NatureComms study ➡️ https://t.co/kLWGk9J3Bg

📢 NEW | Introducing PLM-interact: a new AI-powered protein language model to predict protein-protein interactions Read the article: https://t.co/mOPm5IgN6A Find out more in the mini-podcast:

Flu has arrived early this year! We are seeing a lot of flu A(H3) circulating. Very glad I got my flu vaccine this week. If you are eligible, go for it! 🦠😷💉 #vaccineworks

Glasgow Science Festival will run in venues across the city from the 4th-14th June with the theme 'Cheers For 20 Years'. Proposals are open for researchers to submit ideas until the 12th Jan 26. Find more info and apply on the #GlaSciFest website https://t.co/W8miWx8DVJ

The @MicrobioSoc’s Sir Howard Dalton Early Career Microbiologist of the Year competition takes place each year at the MS Annual Conference meeting. The prize recognises and rewards excellence in science communication by a member in the early stages of their career.

Massive congratulations Emma! 🎉👏 Emma Davies was named 2025 Early Career Microbiologist of the Year for her outstanding presentation ‘Alternative splicing diversifies the antiviral activity of OAS proteins’ which explored her work on antiviral immunity and gene regulation.

📢 NEW | The potential of H5N1 viruses to adapt to bovine cells isn’t uniform—it varies throughout their evolution. An international study led by CVR reveals how the potential to cross the species barrier varies during the evolution of H5N1 viruses. https://t.co/lnKedvS8fu

Earlier this year, we welcomed @DoctorChrisVT & the @STVStudios team to the CVR to chat about our ground-breaking work in #pandemic preparedness, virus discovery and using AI for protein prediction. Watch @BBC's Disease X: Hunting the Next Pandemic here: https://t.co/svbVVw7Rbq

🌍Claire MacDonald, will be representing @CVRinfo in Amsterdam at this year's The World Vaccine Congress. If you’ll be at #WVCEU, don’t miss the chance to connect with Claire — they’d love to meet and exchange ideas! #Collaboration #PandemicPreparedness #HealthcareInnovation

We wish all our Jewish students & colleagues a meaningful Yom Kippur. #OneTeamUofG
