📣Applications open for a competition-funded EastBio PhD position in my lab! I will be able to put one exceptional candidate forward and then we cross our fingers we get the funding🤞If you're interested in metabolism, virulence and antibiotic efficacy, please apply by 15th Dec! tinyurl.com/873ycjpr

📣New preprint alert! We report the alarming finding that stringent response mutations found in clinical isolates increase the frequency of donation of multiresistance plasmids in S. aureus 😱 Great team effort @microclaire.bsky.social @paulrjohnston.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📣 Calling all senior microbiology postdocs! The University of St Andrews is inviting applications from outstanding visionary Research Fellow and Future Leader candidates to attend a Biomolecular Science Fellowship Day. Applications due by 12th Dec, see link for full details: tinyurl.com/4n3na8vn

📢Our review of the impact of bacterial purine synthesis on antibiotic tolerance and resistance expression is now out! A lot of food for thought and contrasting data from E. coli and S. aureus... 🤔 Read it here: rdcu.be/ezfQ7

📣 We're hiring! We have a 12-month vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with skills in molecular microbiology. See the details and apply here: www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/... Please share!

With 2.5 months till the deadline, it's worth reminding everyone what a fantastic opportunity the #MarieCurieFellowships are! #PhDs from all over the world can apply for personal #postdoc fellowships to work at European Universities marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/actions/post...

Such a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon! 🏎️ 🏆 Ashley (aka Daniella Ricardo) was victorious, with Claire a close second. What should we do for our next lab outing?!

It's out! The final peer-reviewed version of our paper about Prs-mediated tolerance in S. aureus COL is now published in Molecular Microbiology. Read it here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Working on my talk right now! 😁

If any finishing-up PhD students or post-docs are interested in antibiotic tolerance and writing a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship together this summer, please get in touch!

📣 The Journal of Medical Microbiology is looking for Editors for the Antimicrobial Resistance section! No prior editor experience required, so it's a great first gig for an ECR. And you get subsidised attendance at the annual meeting. Open to applicants worldwide 🌍 @microbiologysociety.org

Made it to Heidelberg! Excited for 4 days of talks - never seen so many talks on tolerance at one meeting! #EESDrugresistance @events.embl.org
