Delighted that our #EcoSalPlus review, with Jeri Barak, on colonisation of plant hosts by E. coli and S. enterica is in an ASM SDG Spotlight Collection. Our article sits under #SDG2, Zero Hunger, for #foodsafety. journals.asm.org/asm-sdg-spot... Gorgeous artwork by @eliza-coli.bsky.social

Really chuffed that our article on the sequencing side of the UK Crop Microbiome Biobank has just been published. Thanks to Payton Yau and Sue Jones for the hard work. Great team effort with CABI, RRI, JIC, SRUC and Hutton. Read the walk-thru for the #microbiome analysis here: rdcu.be/eBOBB

#foodsafety news from the #WHO: 7th June 2025 is World Food Safety Day. This year's theme is 'Science in Action' (nope, can't escape the irony). Some great resources on the website to use www.who.int/campaigns/wo...

If you would like to join us on our crop #microbiome journey there are still have a few days to apply for a PhD project. We are in Aberdeen, Scotland - a great place for wildlife, history, the outdoors, and bioinformatics of course! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

This looks like it will be a fun event - celebrating slow fermentation and real bread. Time to roll up the sleeves and get the sourdough cultures warmed up scotlandthebread.org/event/scotti... #foodstudies #foodsystems #urbanfood #urbanagriculture #foodconsumption

If you are looking for a home for your climate change associated #microbiome work, AMI's Sustainable Microbiology has a themed call out at the moment academic.oup.com/sumbio/pages...

@microbiologysociety.org great to see you here, looking forward to the #microbiology stories

bsky.app/profile/unni... a nice story for @aythyafuligula.bsky.social

🚨 Exciting opportunity! @thepandemicinst.bsky.social is forming a Public Steering Group to ensure community voices shape our work in pandemic preparedness. Want to help make a difference? Learn more & apply here: www.thepandemicinstitute.org/news/join-ou... #PandemicPreparedness #PublicEngagement

Here's the link to the WHO Global burden of foodborne diseases report http://www.who.int/foodsafety/areas_work/foodborne-diseases/ferg/en/

Produce is the cause of almost half of all foodborne illnesses, followed by dairy and eggs at 20 percent, meat and poultry at 22 percent, and fish and shellfish at just 6 percent. See bottom of page for good food safety tips to use this coming new year. www.foodsafetynews.com/2024/12/brea...

One for @aythyafuligula.bsky.social :)

#foodsystems post For the budding photographers out there, there is still time to submit to the 'Food for Thought' competition from @scafarc.bsky.social - you have til 9th Jan! www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/...

#foodsafety Always good to have the reminders about safely enjoying smoked fish at this time of year www.foodstandards.gov.scot/consumers/fo...

#foodsafety Any thoughts on the relationship between the gastroenteritis disease symptoms and virulence factors (eae, cdt) in this outbreak of E. albertii. CDT is a genotoxin, so is it all just down to intimin - sounds a bit like an EPEC... www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Interested in what drives crop #microbiomes? We've got a PhD position open to work it out using modelling and bioinformatics. Check out www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

🧪 great to see the developments at Enterobase - a fantastic resource for the #microbiology community and all associated. Congrats to all for the hard work doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

Just listened to a great description of this amazing resource - the Sourdough library, keeping food microbiology diversity alive. Has anyone been for a visit, or contributed? #foodstudies #foodmicro www.puratos.co.uk/en/about-pur...

Here we go again...STEC associated with a crop plant (onions), but its going to be very challenging to pin-point them directly www.food-safety.com/articles/988...

Well this is interesting - for fresh produce safety www.food-safety.com/articles/987...

Nice vid from @SRUC FAS TV about growing and using heritage grain in a way to benefit everyone, as Scotland the Bread say 'from soil to slice' youtu.be/Sg5Yak-le-A?...

Productive visit to Bowhouse community food hub (Fife, Scotland). Happy microbiology talk about sourdough and locally grown grains.
