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/...

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
