Last week's seminar featured excellent talks from @fionapoulter.bsky.social on understanding the evolution of epidemic Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Holly Richardson on why heterogeneity matters: predicting antibiotic resistance in cystic fibrosis. Thanks to @microbesng.bsky.social for the nice snacks!

It was great to attend the Standing up for Science Workshop today ran by and be able to learn and hear from the great panellists about engagement with the media and policy makers. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in these areas!
