Masters student Jo Turnbull (@babyphage)@MasseyUni took this TEM image of NZ Phage Lilo-2. A virus that can kill the honeybee pathogen in NZ. This phage is just 1 of 34 that Danielle Kok (@kok_danielle) has discovered in the ABAtE project! #MicrobiologyRules #SaveOurBees

One of MANY PhD students at @MasseyUni who administrators have suggested "can just find another advisor" mid-PhD project. Admins surprised to hear closing science might cause student stress! #MentalHealth @PhD_Balance @SusannaLHarris

Danielle kok (@kok_danielle) and I spoke to the North Harbour science fair students on our campus today about #PhageHuntNZ and the #ABAtE project. They collected 100+ soil and compost samples to help save bees and had awesome questions. Thanks! #Microbiology @MasseyUni #NZLabLife

What is the most numerous entity on the planet? Bacteriophages! Never heard of them? Check out my chat with @DrHHNZ from @MasseyUni to find out how these amazing viruses can be used to help New Zealand honeybees 🐝 @NZScienceLearn @kok_danielle #ABAtE

Want to help us to help bees? Collect a soil or debris sample in a plastic bag when you check your hives this weekend and write to us and we will send you a pre payed envelope so you can send us samples! You can name the phage in your sample! #ABAtE @MasseyUni @kok_danielle

It’s Metagenomics Day! Today at @masseyuni and other uni campuses in New Zealand we will be taking teens on their first foray into extracting DNA from soil and using PCR to get a snapshot of what lies beneath our feet! Soil sample earrings for the occasion! #MetagenomicsDayNZ
