APC is recruiting two PhD students to investigate the molecular mechanisms underpinning preferential carbohydrate metabolism or the study of viability states, as relevant to selected human-associated bifidobacteria. bit.ly/4bFYJK8 @uccmicrobiology.bsky.social #bifidobacteria #jobfairy #ucc #phd

Congratulations on a well-deserved retirement. Thank you Alan for the impact you’ve made and the example you’ve set—wishing you all the best ahead.

Marine #sponges are generally considered biosynthetic "hotspots" (e.g. Theonella) - but does this always hold true? In our newest study led by @stephenjackson.bsky.social we are looking at Inflatella pellicula's biosynthetic capacity - and our results are surprising doi.org/10.1099/mgen...

Listening to the Microbiology Society staff talk about how they made their conference more accessible, highlighting DEI events, and their support for small conferences. It reminds me of what ASM used to be, back when I was proud to be a member. m.soundcloud.com/microbiosoc/...

We hope that you’re enjoying Annual Conference! If you have ever benefited from our events, grants or networks, consider publishing with us: journals revenue supports all that we do for our community. Please submit to give back. microb.io/3o6DvhI

High-quality research deserves the right platform. Today, at #Microbio25, we’re unveiling a major step forward in reviews and forward-looking perspectives across microbiology research. Don’t miss the big reveal!

Symbnet PhD Summer School on Host-Microbe Symbioses - Oeiras Portugal. Students from all over the world are eligible, we sponsor selected students. Please Repost! gimm.idloom.events/phd-summer-s...

Scientific publishing should evolve with science itself. That’s why we’re launching something new—designed for the microbiology community. Join us on 31 March at #Microbio25 as we reveal what’s coming next to our portfolio.

Putting academic Bluesky to the test: Anybody out there have a copy of the group photo from the 2001 GRC on Mechanisms of Microbial Adhesion? Newport RI.

Very proud that this article is finally out. It details the culmination of 3 years of hard work from the @microbiologysociety.org Members Panel. This work can sometimes go under the radar, but big thanks to Anjam for leading on this, allowing us to share our successes and hopes for the future.

It’s Race Equality Week and we want to shine a light on a very important drop-in session the Black Microbiologists Association will be hosting during #Microbio25 on 31 March. Find out more via our programme and join them on the day: https://microb.io/Microbio25 #REW25 #BlackInMicro

Is anyone aware if there is good source of codon usage data for Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron?? Just looking to optimise expression of an heterologous protein in Btheta.

The MSc in Microbiome Science, developed by the great folks here at The School of Microbiology, UCC. Featuring world class lecturers from the School of Micro and the APC. If you're thinking of delving into the microbiome, don't wait - click the link below today! Full details: bit.ly/3E3rX6J

The impact of a non-industrialized ("Restore") diet plus a key microbe on improving cardiometaboiic health markers and reducing body-wide inflammation, from a randomized trial www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... @cellpress.bsky.social open-access

Agreed. And a shout out to join @microbiologysociety.org as well. Societies have done so much for our disciplines and will continue to do so

Contemplating your next career move? @ucc.bsky.social have launched an MSc in Microbiome Science, developed by the UCC Microbiology Dept featuring world class lecturers from APC and UCC. Full details: bit.ly/3E3rX6J

It’s good to welcome @joycemetlab.bsky.social to the good site. About time….!!! Follow for the gut, bile and some metabolism.

It’s official: The Microbiology Society is on Bluesky!

UCC generates €1.18bn for Ireland's economy every year, says report www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

Cheap to sign up for and some great speakers microbiologysociety.org/event/societ...

Use it or lose it: Unless we publish papers in our society owned and published journals they will cease to be, along with all the conferences and meetings the proceeds support. Microbiology Society publishes many excellent journals, all edited by experts. #microsky www.microbiologyresearch.org
