This reminders me of Covid Christmas 2020 when I knitted everyone in the lab something despite being shit at knitting!! @seanaduggan.bsky.social 🤣🤣🤣

Fancy living by the sea in Cornwall and crunching some very cool data for a living. Look no further: jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecr...

We have a position for an Assist Prof in Microbial Genomics in our School of III. Hod Joan Geoghegan will be happy to field questions if you are interested. No specific area of microbial genomics preferred so please do consider it www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOO184/a...

New work from the lab, lead by Nathan Palk and supported by Tarcisio Brignoli and Marcia Boura…. None of which are on here! If you like S. aureus, toxin production and two component regulatory systems, you’ll like this: www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

New work from the lab, more details on new levels of regulation of cytolytic toxin production by Staphylococcus aureus: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Looking to appoint a PhD candidate with background in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology or related field to work on discovery of infection combatting therapeutics in marine sponge-associated bacteria. Closing date 31st May 2025. International applications welcomed!🌎

Two ERC-funded postdoc positions available in the team - one here and second to follow - please repost! jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastl...

Road trip to see Six the musical with ruby and friends…. Quite literally the shittest seats in the house as i left it so late to book…. My varifocals giving me vertigo this high up…. By god this better be good 🤣

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but are the awful funding problems over in the US likely to be affecting ASM type journals from functioning as normal?

PhD opportunity in bacterial pathogenesis- deadline tomorrow Feb 13 !

Latest from the lab, driven by Lizzie Ledger. Crossover in antibiotic resistance activity between oxacilin and daptomycin. …. All roads may lead to Rome in some places but for S. aureus they all lead to Agr activity!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Exciting, fully-funded PhD opportunity aimed at turning biofilms as weapons against bacteria in the fight to combat antimicrobial resistance. Don’t miss out! bit.ly/40HYabo

50 % of the household is happy 🤣

This is a bit nerve wrecking…..

The Cork lab out for our ‘Christmas’ dinner in January…. Left hand side of the table happy to be photographed, right hand side less so! 🤣

Fiiiiinnnnneeee!!! I’ll come check this ‘new’ happy place out even though I fundamentally object to anywhere that is only ever happy 🤣 Where is Mike Cox who has shamed me into this??
