🚨 PhD project alert: Engineering a soil bacteria to sense and record soil health. 🦠 🪴 🥼 🧑‍💻 🌍 Fully funded PhD studenship in my group, open for international students. @earlhaminst.bsky.social Please share widely! Deadline: 14th of May www.earlham.ac.uk/studentship/...

I know several amazing science postdocs at Uni's in the UK, who are now at breaking point, falling out of love with science, and thinking of leaving academia 💔 all because of the current lack of support, increased workload and stress of their jobs.

"There is now a feeling international scientists are unwelcome in the UK." Impact of visa restrictions on scientists (amongst others) coming to the UK. The cost is crazy high, no wonder amazing scientists are starting to not want to come here to work.

At the #CMINorwich25 conference today, really looking forward to hearing about all the microbial science happening across the NRP 🦠

I am proud to announce that I've started 2025 with a new position at the Biofoundry in the @earlhaminst.bsky.social, in Norwich, under the lead of Carolina Grandellis. A Special thanks to @scientisterica.bsky.social and Carolina Grandellis for making me feel welcome and being supported.

There is a fine line between being informed, and being too informed and doom spiralling

"Queering data: the world of data implies fixed identities and truths - something incompatible with queer philosophies and histories. What can queer methods and practices tell us about resisting the world of data?" Speakers paid £150 plus travel expenses

Helping to look after 2 t-level students over the next month, and I just think it's so cool they get to have lab experience at a research institute as part of their course!

1 week at the new job, and really enjoying so far! So cool to be learning all the things about 🤖 and scaling science. It's good to be be back in the lab 🤓

This was really great last year! Do check it out for some great 🌈 science! And it's free 👀
