Just watched last episode of #channel4's #TipToe & I am left feeling so horrified & uncomfortable - its a bit too close to reality seeing how quickly ordinary, everyday disagreements can turn into hostility & violence when fueled by misinformation & prejudice Another cracker from #RussellTDavies!

Out with Suzi Ruffell is back! Here the amazing @tiakofi.bsky.social discusses pressures & insights of being an individual from multiple marginalised backgrounds #intersectionality This my go to podcast to learn more about different #lgbtq+ backgrounds & experiences. Highly recommend for #allies

The broadcaster and drag sensation appears on the newly relaunched 'Attitude Presents: Out with Suzi Ruffell' podcast www.attitude.co.uk/culture/out-...

So pleased to have been involved with this paper from @nisbetalice.bsky.social, @gemma-langridge.bsky.social & collaborators @ukhsa.bsky.social If you like #Typhi, #Paratyphi or carriers of these its such a great read! A summary of #genomic #epidemiology of #enteric fever in England & Wales 2004-23

🚨Another Langridge lab paper is hot off the press!🚨 We are excited to share the 1st paper from @nisbetalice.bsky.social, exploring the #genomic epidemiology of #entericfever in England & Wales (2004–23). But the hidden story is all about carriage... Now out in @plos.org Neglected Tropical Diseases!

✨️ Milestone complete! ✨️ I'm so excited to share my 1st ever paper with world! In collaboration with @ukhsa.bsky.social, we explored the #genomic #epidemiology of enteric fever in England & Wales from 2004-2023 🦠 with a focus on bacterial carriers within the population. Check it out in @plos.org NTD!

Not all superheroes wear capes… but some answer random Friday night messages about poorly hedgehogs🦔 So grateful to @aistronach.bsky.social for his help with Martinee who was wondering on a busy road in the evening sun Lucky to be surrounded by kind & brilliant people @quadraminstitute.bsky.social

Pride in STEM is 10, so we had to throw ourselves a little party! prideinstem.org/2026/04/23/p...

In answer to @langridgelab.bsky.social's I am missing the science craic that was had @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 conference! I personally loved watching the highlights video & trying to spot all the members of the group. Look forward to hearing more great science at the next one!

Who else is missing the craic? We had such a great time @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 at #Belfast so its great to be able relive all the highlights in their summary blog We are so pleased we could play our part in such great science & shenanigans We look forward to Birmingham #microbio27

Happy #LesbianVisibilityWeek to all of you out there!💗 I love the #LGBTQ+ community I am a part of but always wish there was more L representation. I was reminded of this on re-reading this article. Even though terms like queer are reclaimed, sadly the term #lesbian for many still doesn't sit right

I need to get back on the case with raising awareness of important topics & #smashingstereotypes... then I saw its #nationalcatladyday today 😻 amazing!! There's not a better day to start by honoring the bond between women & their 🐈🐈‍⬛️companions, while challenging outdated "crazy cat lady" stereotype

We've curated a media guide in collaboration with @lindsaybroadbent.bsky.social to support safe communication of key areas of microbiology in the media. Click the link in our bio to read about common misconceptions, interpreting press releases and useful analogies.🦠

We want to thank you all for seeing & engaging with our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social, @c-hill13.bsky.social & @eh-hayles.bsky.social who presented their latest work & with our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social who helped chair a #cool new session on transformative tools for biological complexity 😎

As @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 wraps up, I can't believe this was my 3rd time presenting at this conference. Thanks to the society letting me present my latest work & for wonderful questions. This paper on impact genome rearrangement has on virulence & #AMR will be coming later this year 👀

Day 3 of @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 had so many highlights but my favourite was the Outreach & Engagement Prize lecture by @lindsaybroadbent.bsky.social A moving & motivating talk showcasing the importance of being able to communicate science to everyone. Read more here microb.io/4bV2Nps

Thank goodness Gemma won... she was itching to play the buzzer game with @microbesng.bsky.social I think I have the 1st meeting in Gemmas office when we get back... I look forward to seeing whatever hidden message she sets up for me... 😅

Someone is very happy with themselves to have won some prizes from @microbesng.bsky.social at @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26. Our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social is looking forward to playing the biology word game on her office white board when she gets back to @quadraminstitute.bsky.social

Now we have our @c-hill13.bsky.social presenting her work on mobilome of #Salmonella Dublin, you can find her at poster 210. Later this afternoon we have our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social co-chairing the transformative tools for biological complexity sessions 😀

So pleased that I was given the opportunity to present my work again to the #genetics & #genomics forum @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26. If you missed your chance to ask me questions on genomic rearrangements & the impact these have on #AMR please feel free to find me or ping me a message 😊

A warm congratulations to Dr Lindsay Broadbent for winning the Outreach and Engagement Prize Lecture! #Microbio26

Amazing 2nd day @microbiologysociety.org ##microbio26 with our @eh-hayles.bsky.social & @emmabeansworth.bsky.social presenting their work so well💪 They will be here for the rest of the conference if you have any more burning questions or about their preprints tiny.cc/y0u1101 tinyurl.com/yezwu6ws

Outreach and Engagement Prize winner Dr Lindsay Broadbent presents a lecture on "Science isn’t finished until it is communicated" at 9:00 in the Auditorium. Read more about their work: https://microb.io/4bV2Nps #Microbio26

"I’m grateful to have gained many academic experiences during my PhD, but also to have created opportunities in areas of science communication." 💬 Dr Gab Astorga

Come and see my posters at #microbio26 A034 and A035 to hear all about my work with transposon sequencing, DNA supercoiling and location-based transcriptional potential, or come to chat about the impact of location on antimicrobial phenotype and fitness!

Just rude! I think you will find I maybe tiny... but cool 😎 & happy to discuss genomic rearrangements & the potentially impacts this type of variation have on any bacteria you are interested in not just on #salmonella! We need to start looking beyond SNPs & think of the potential bigger picture

Also at 2:30 our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social is presenting our latest update on genomic rearrangements, & the dramatic impacts this type of variation has on pathogenetic traits like #antibiotic resistance & #virulence. She maybe tiny, but the red makes her easy to find if you wanna ask her qs after😆

We are truly overflowing with joy today as Dr. Landon Getz, Dr. Bruno Oliveira, and Dr. Edel Lopez accepted the Microbiology Society's 2026 EDI Award in Belfast at the 2026 Microbiology Society Annual Conference! Dr. Getz also presented an overview of our organization to the conference's attendees!

🚨Two exciting updates! The first, our new preprint assessing the dynamics of Shiga toxin subtype #stx2a in #STEC across England, 2016-2024 is now live! Read the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

What a wonderful start to @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 with an interactive session on celebrating & promoting actions advancing #EDI followed by @prideinmicro.bsky.social lecture on From visibility to belonging. Its been wonderful to see this network grow. Read more here: microb.io/4mnraQc

Queer and trans microbiologists can often work in isolation; join us at the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Prize Lecture to hear how the Pride in Microbiology (PiM) Network was created to change that. Read more: https://microb.io/4sYAUTy #Microbio26

We're excited for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 to begin but also to share the fantastic news that our @eh-hayles.bsky.social's latest paper is now preprinted. If you wanna hear about temporal dynamics & acquisition of Shiga toxin subtype stx2a within #STEC in England go see her poster at A39

Now underway in Hall 2A: “Celebrating and promoting actions advancing equality, diversity and inclusion”, showcasing initiatives and practical steps to build a more inclusive and representative microbiology community. Read the blog here: https://microb.io/4mnraQc #Microbio26

Irish sightseeing ✅️ Now we are excited for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 to begin! Today we have the adoptees @carolinejarvis.bsky.social (34&35), @jcihorton.bsky.social (37) & our @eh-hayles.bsky.social (39) presenting their #genetics & #genomics forum presents. Cool science here we come 😎

Who is looking forward to the @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 next week?? I'm very grateful to be presenting my 3rd talk at this conference. Looking forward to showing you our latest work on genomic rearrangements in the #genetics & #genomics forum Tues. But 1st I had better finish it #PImoves

Last time we were all in Belfast for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 things were a little bit different... We are pleased that @c-hill13.bsky.social is now officially 1 of us! She (B210) & @eh-hayles.bsky.social (A39) have posters, @emmabeansworth.bsky.social has a talk Tues in #genomics forum🧬

Just about able to watch...🫣 I have to thank @gabastorga.bsky.social for reminding me how important it is to keep being an active role model for others. I remember meeting Gab at my 1st importance of diversity in science talk & so pleased to see how far we & research culture have come in that time

This is no April fools!!! 🚨 @langridgelab.bsky.social has a funded #PhD for UK candidates Do you love #microbiomes, #bioinformatics & translational science? Come & join us, & @andrewjpage.bsky.social at @originsciences.bsky.social & get stuck into a ton of #metagenomic data🧬 Apply by 8 April

Really enjoyed working with @emmabeansworth.bsky.social and @gemma-langridge.bsky.social on this one! Am loving the inevitable phage-ification of the Langridge lab group #phages

Not all #Salmonella equal in terms of infection risk! By combining population #genomics & global datasets, we identify lineage-specific markers linked to human infection - including a conserved prophage in S. Agona🦠 This highlights the potential for genomics-informed risk prediction in food safety
