Absolutely brilliant #MicroEvo25 some great talks and talent that has me thinking about our research. And great to catch up with @brockhurstlab.bsky.social @craigmaclean.bsky.social @paulhoskisson.bsky.social @lore-fermar.bsky.social @julieakmcdonald.bsky.social @lucyweinert.bsky.social and more

Super meeting, and @microbiologysociety.org staff organisation was incredible as always! This meeting really fills a niche in evolutionary microbiology, let make sure it runs again! Great to see old friends and make new ones @gmknght.bsky.social

Winning the poster prize was an amazing way to end #MicroEvo25 🎉 Absolutely loved sharing (the start of!) my PhD research! Thanks to @brockhurstlab.bsky.social @coytelab.bsky.social and Sophie for the encouragement & to @microbiologysociety.org for organising such a fantastic event!

So excited to be here for @microbiologysociety.org ‘s #microevo25 meeting!

Had an amazing time at #MicroEvo25 in Liverpool learning all about phages and evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Was great to present my first ever poster and met some lovely people!

What a week! Thanks to everyone who attended the UK Phage Therapy workshop and #MicroEvo25 in Liverpool… every talk, poster, question, chat, and round of applause helps to build our microbial evolution community! Thanks to @microbiologysociety.org and @ukri.org for support

Had a great time at #MicroEvo25 soaking up some inspiring science from lots of amazing people. Even networked! Very well organised by @microbiologysociety.org. Next time hopefully more of the work presented is published in society journals! If we don't use it we will lose it!

Two conferences two weeks apart, thank you to everyone who came and chatted to me at my poster (or in general) at the Phages.fr conference in Nancy and the @microbiologysociety.org #MicroEvo25 conference in Liverpool. It was great to show the first data from my postdoc and get advice and feedback

Day 1 of #MicroEvo25 yesterday was great, I’m enjoying and am ready for the rest of Day 2 for some really interesting talks on predicting microbial evolutionary dynamics and more poster viewing! @microbiologysociety.org

Only one day left until the talk with Dr Stephanie Lo. Don't miss the live discussion on ‘Genomic Surveillance to Inform Vaccine Impact and Design.’ Register here: microb.io/49tTbRS #JMM
