What a wonderful start to @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 with an interactive session on celebrating & promoting actions advancing #EDI followed by @prideinmicro.bsky.social lecture on From visibility to belonging. Its been wonderful to see this network grow. Read more here: microb.io/4mnraQc

The second, I’m at #microbio26 in Belfast presenting the next stages of the project, looking at the gene, genome and phage variation of #stx2a. Come see me at poster A039!

We're excited for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 to begin but also to share the fantastic news that our @eh-hayles.bsky.social's latest paper is now preprinted. If you wanna hear about temporal dynamics & acquisition of Shiga toxin subtype stx2a within #STEC in England go see her poster at A39

Irish sightseeing ✅️ Now we are excited for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 to begin! Today we have the adoptees @carolinejarvis.bsky.social (34&35), @jcihorton.bsky.social (37) & our @eh-hayles.bsky.social (39) presenting their #genetics & #genomics forum presents. Cool science here we come 😎

Who is looking forward to the @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 next week?? I'm very grateful to be presenting my 3rd talk at this conference. Looking forward to showing you our latest work on genomic rearrangements in the #genetics & #genomics forum Tues. But 1st I had better finish it #PImoves

Last time we were all in Belfast for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 things were a little bit different... We are pleased that @c-hill13.bsky.social is now officially 1 of us! She (B210) & @eh-hayles.bsky.social (A39) have posters, @emmabeansworth.bsky.social has a talk Tues in #genomics forum🧬

This is no April fools!!! 🚨 @langridgelab.bsky.social has a funded #PhD for UK candidates Do you love #microbiomes, #bioinformatics & translational science? Come & join us, & @andrewjpage.bsky.social at @originsciences.bsky.social & get stuck into a ton of #metagenomic data🧬 Apply by 8 April

Really enjoyed working with @emmabeansworth.bsky.social and @gemma-langridge.bsky.social on this one! Am loving the inevitable phage-ification of the Langridge lab group #phages

Not all #Salmonella equal in terms of infection risk! By combining population #genomics & global datasets, we identify lineage-specific markers linked to human infection - including a conserved prophage in S. Agona🦠 This highlights the potential for genomics-informed risk prediction in food safety

Excited to share our latest preprint! Food surveillance detects lots of #Salmonella but only some cause disease. Using large-scale #genomics, we show that risk: - clusters at the lineage level, driven by mobile genetic elements - markers can be IDed including a phage in Agona - can be predicted

Our @nisbetalice.bsky.social and @gemma-langridge.bsky.social are in Cambodia 🇰🇭 Powering through the jetlag, they are sharing their research on typhoidal #salmonella 🧬🦠 in collaboration with #ukhsa and #fijinationaluniversity #takeontyphoid #phnompenh
