Thrilled to share our recent paper at @cellpress.bsky.social's @cp-iscience.bsky.social studying the antibiotic responses of MRSA, one of the most common wound pathogens, under wound infection-like conditions vs. standard lab test conditions. www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

Grateful for the support from Innovation Sask & @innovation.ca towards new instrumentation that will expand & propel our research into AMR & new antimicrobial solutions! Thanks MLA Jamie Martens & CEO Kari Harvey for touring my lab @uregina.bsky.social!

Happy to share our review article in @asm.org's J. Bacteriology by Joshua Adams on host chemical & other small molecule-mediated alterations of antibiotic susceptibility, which also discusses potential new antibiotic adjuvant strategies. @uregina.bsky.social journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....

Our World AMR Awareness Week event at the Saskatchewan Science Centre was a huge success! High participation in all activities (DNA extraction, agar art & more)! Here are some agar plates from the event: #WAAW2025 #WAAW

It's World AMR Awareness Week! My lab is organizing the 2nd annual event this Sat in collab with SK Science Centre to raise awareness of AMR while offering fun, hands-on activities for all ages. Everyone is welcome! Details: www.sasksciencecentre.com/events-calen... #WAAW2025 @uregina.bsky.social

An early kick-off of the World AMR Awareness Week #WAAW2025 events in Regina: I’ll give a public talk tomorrow night (Thurs Nov 13) at Bushwakker Brewpub’s Science Pub Series (a partnership with @uregina.bsky.social Faculty of Science). I’m looking forward to it. Everyone’s welcome!

Happy to share that I successfully renewed my Canada Research Chair, which coincided with tenure and promotion to Associate Professor. Thrilled that the #CRC renewal came with ~$1.1M in infrastructure support, in part from #CFI!

Thanks #CBC 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 for visiting my lab @uregina.bsky.social and highlighting our interdisciplinary collaboration with Indigenous Elders and colleagues at FNU Tune in at ~1 hr:43 min. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Our #WAAW2024 event at the Sask Science Centre was a great success! Lots of participation & engagement in all activities! Here are some agar plates from the event. Germs are everywhere (& at our fingertips), not all are harmful. Good hygiene prevents infections,⬇️antibiotic use & curb AMR.

It's World AMR Awareness Week! Students from the Biochem Student Association & my lab at the U of Regina are organizing an event in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Science Centre to raise awareness of AMR while offering a variety of fun, hands-on activities for all ages. Everyone is welcome!

Happy to share our work published at ASM Microbiology Spectrum, exploring Traditional Indigenous remedies as an untapped source of new antimicrobials under wound infection-mimetic conditions in collaboration with Elders & colleagues at First Nations Univ. Canada journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
