On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, it gives me a great pleasure to announce the start of the first Women Microbiologists Network in the UK, which I am leading, with the massive support of the Microbiology Society. Read the below article and join today!

Very honoured and proud to win this year’s International Award of the Middlesex University - Outstanding Achievement Awards 2025! Huge thanks to Middlesex University and the Vice Chancellor for the highly appreciated recognition!

Thanks to @asm.org Last week was end of WAAW, 18-24 Nov 2025. We had opportunities to interact with school children, UG & PG students, engage with research, outreach & educational competitions! Hosted by @enasnewire.bsky.social at Middlesex University. #WAAW25 #AMR

WAAW-25 Results are now out! Follow us on Instagram AMR@MDX to view that! Thanks to Samah, Elham, Aaliya, and Alaa! - Resistant Escherichia coli - Pink to purple - Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae - Bluish green - Resistant Candida albicans - White/beige Middlesex University @enasnewire.bsky.social

Thanks to @microbiologysociety.org for the funds to do the work and the the invitation to present it. #Microbio25

Join me for the 1st ‘Women Microbiologists in Academia: Challenges and Opportunities’ session on 2 April. Find out more: microb.io/3Fi5ByU #IWD2025 A lot to discuss for women Microbiologists looking forward to meeting you all. #Microbio25 @microbiologysociety.org

AMR@MDX STEM Festival Results! A watch and a jacket showing growth of resistant organisms (some E.coli in purple and fungi species). @enasnewire.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org #KOMAMR #MicroChamp #AMR

Join @enasnewire.bsky.social for the 1st ‘Women Microbiologists in Academia: Challenges and Opportunities’ being organised by Champion, on 2 April. Find out more: microb.io/3Fi5ByU #IWD2025 #Microbio25

Last Wednesday, March 12th, was STEM Featival. We had AMR@MDX stand on "Where are the superbugs?" We received a lot of interest from participants of different ages.Thanks to our supporters, volunteers and funders @enasnewire.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org #KOMAMR #MicroChamp #AMR

This International Women’s Day, we want to highlight the ‘Women Microbiologists in Academia: Challenges and Opportunities’ being organised by Champion, @enasnewire.bsky.social‬ at #Microbio25 on 2 April. Find out more: microb.io/3Fi5ByU #IWD2025

Join us for this coffee & networking morning!

Three potential PhD positions are now open for applications! - MRCLID: (1) integrated with my fship - AMR prevalence by age&sex (2) long term collab. - AMR gene transfer - Nagasaki: new collaboration comparing UK&Japan AMR rates mrc-lid.lshtm.ac.uk/projects/ www.lshtm.ac.uk/study/resear...

Thank you @bsacandjac.bsky.social for the invitation for the very insightful Antimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms workshop! Very nice talks as always. I enjoyed co-chairing outreach session, poster judging and meeting great collaborators @microbesng.bsky.social @helenmcneil.bsky.social #WAAW #AMR

WAAW Results! Any idea what organism is there? It looks like a resistant fungi growing on a chromogenic agar supplemented with fluconazole and other beta-lactams #microsky

An important point — colonies growing on agar continue to evolve… We found something similar when isolating plasmid transconjugants: the colonies had already acquired compensatory mutations, reducing the fitness impact of a costly plasmid www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Attention all #MicroSky labs! Don’t miss your chance to get 2025’s edition of the only calendar that celebrates accidentally beautiful microbiology! There are some super pics in here — guaranteed to bring wonder and joy in the face of experimental disaster! 📆🧫🤩🍄

Impressive to see the influx of the Bacterial Pathogenesis/ Microbial Genomics/ Infection Biology/ Gene Regulation ex-Twitterati community to Bluesky… www.science.org/content/arti...

New paper; Changing taxonomy and antibiotic resistance of bacterial isolates in a new hospital ward pre and post patient admittance journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

We are all set up for the #BSAC Antimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms Workshop TODAY 🎉 Drop by our stand to find out how to enter the PRIZE DRAW for some petri dish themed coasters 🧫😍 #ARMWorkshops24 #MicroSky #WAAW24 #AMR #MicrobialGenomics @bsacandjac.bsky.social

It's been a very busy #AntibioticAwarenessWeek 🔥💊🦠 We had a brilliant time at the #BSAC ARM workshop, thanks to everyone who stopped by the stand for a chat and to @bsacandjac.bsky.social for having us! @ilyasalav.bsky.social
