If you don't turn graduation into an iconic photoshoot then what's the point in doing 4 years of a PhD?

I'm nothing if not consistent 2018 -> 2025

The unintentional conference poster jumper is back for #Microbio25. It started out as a complete accident but due to popular demand in the lab it will now become a @microbiologysociety.org tradition for poster presentations. Always a great conference with brilliant science and friendly faces

Today we updated streptomyces.org.uk/strepstrains... with lists of useful Streptomyces strains and plasmids we have @johninnescentre.bsky.social and details of how to request them.

My talking points in recent interviews, please use as you see fit: 1.Every $1 in NIH funding returns ~$2.50 to the economy. 2.Every $1B in cuts from NIH extramural = 7500 lost employees, just in science. 3.These don't include priceless improvements in health. 1/x

So pleased to see this preprint out, hopefully coming to a journal near you soon...

Hi bluesky! I'm Katie a post doc in @matthutchings.bsky.social lab at the John Innes Centre. I currently work on regulation of natural products from Streptomyces, with a focus on two-component systems. Also a lover of cats, climbing and the outdoors, so hoping to build things up over here #SciSky
