No2...Predicting pathogen evolution: using experimental evolution to understand the impact of phage therapy on Clostridioides difficile with @RobFagan https://t.co/Bo8IcVlhbK #microbialevolution #pathogenevolution #PhDposition

PhDs avaliable in the lab! No1....what are rhizobia up to OUTSIDE the symbiosis? https://t.co/wd9YfptMag with Prof Tim Daniell. Come along to our project info session Tues 10th at 2pm. register here https://t.co/kWLsCx2Ztl #microbialevolution #symbiosis #PhDposition

We have 2 fully funded PhD studentships available through the new Yorkshire Biosciences DTP (starting Oct 25) - please share! Both projects are focussed on #phage that infect #Cdifficile

Don't walk, run! This looks like an amazing project and dream team.

Exciting news: MEEhubs has been rescheduled and will be held from January 9-11th 2024! Mark your calendars and maps! Hubs will be in USA West (UC San Diego), Mexico (UNAM), USA East (Emory), USA NorthEast (Boston College), the UK (Oxford Uni) and Switzerland (Uni Lausanne) (1/3)

More £££ is now available to study the interplay between evolution and horizontal gene transfer in the emergence of novel symbiotic strains. 🚨Closes 8th march 🚨 go to https://t.co/vrydsi2PtY to find out more about the lab and get in touch. https://t.co/5I0dwIpN7o

As a regular listener of TWIM it’s super exciting to have our latest paper featured in it! If anyone fancies a little listen to this week in Microbiology they’ve included our ⁦⁦recent @PLOSBiology⁩ paper.

Prophage mediated control of higher order interactions - insights from systems approaches EcoRxiv by @CCWendling https://t.co/00skkNrIO0

Closes 31st March, aiming for an early summer start!

🎉🚨 1 year, technician job available. We'll be working on a super fun project using experimental evolution to explore plasmid-mediated host shifts in rhizobia. https://t.co/rGpRCDyWHt https://t.co/6rqg2lf35V

HGT is not a bacterial process! It's a product of interactions between bacteria and all the inhabitants of the genetic ecosystem ❤️🦠👇 lovely perspective from @MicroTanya @Vicki_TR_Orr @jpjhall

So our recent paper from @JohnInnesCentre with @BrockhurstLab, @ellieevolves @jpjhall @RobWJackson is out in @PLOSBiology. So here’s a little thread about what we found, because in my biased opinion it’s pretty cool.

this was published after we wrote it but a beautify and excellent resource showing how academia is failing black academics in particular... https://t.co/rfIvtZJtYu

Co-created with my brilliant but not twittery colleagues Raheela Awais @LivUniLifeSci, Melody Obeng from @ScienceShef and Wajeeha Aziz from @BSMSMedSchool

We present the lived experience of women of colour discussing how these different experiences have lead to different barriers for each, from the financial pain of immigration to the alienation of those outside the white, middle-class culture of academia

Strategies which aim to target everyone unified only by skin colour can result in some of the major challenges being faced

academics from minoritized ethnicities sit at a complicated intersection of many identities - particularly race, immigration status, community, class, religion, not to mention intersections with gender, sexuality, disability etc

Are the 'pillars of ED&I' like '#BAME' limiting our approach to achieving equity for #academicsofcolour? We argue that it is the intersectional spaces that shape/limit careers. https://t.co/xm2oToKtXH #THEcampus #BlackinSTEM #EquityinSTEM #MinoritiesInSTEM #DiversityandInclusion

If only there were some way to figure out what had gone wrong with the NHS…
