Nothing new for him it seems

@microbiologysociety.org have been at this for a while on their innovative Open Research Platform, Access Microbiology. If you like the sounds of this, but your work isn't quite Nature level, send it to Access Microbiology www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Conferences with your friends are some of the best bits of the job. The job is not easy, but how very lucky to have such strong and opinionated women as my peers to conspire and collaborate with

En route to StaphGBI conference 🚂 Deeply regretting my lunch choices and lack of Greggs sausage roll 😏

Try a Teams call right to work check with passport to get paid for running labs for a different department within the same university. The Teams call became a in-person attendance at the departments HR the year after. Nope, you're going to need someone else to teach this lab.

Cheers to submitting my first major grant as a PI. Reviewers be kind...

Happy to have a quick look at it @aharms485.bsky.social to see if its suitable for Access Microbiology.
You are also at an institution which is signed up to fee free open access publishing with Microbiology Society journals, so you won't pay APCs either! microbiologysociety.org/institutiona...

Any peeps in the UK (to avoid import paperwork) got any mucin degrading bacteria I can get a colony of please? All species considered. Double points if they are nasal derived. #MicroSky #mucin

Ah it's only for some teaching slides I'm putting together looking at AMR driven adaption and it's impact on virulence. Loads of papers deleting the omps and looking at impact on MIC and virulence. Just wondering if it actually happens and the impact clinically.

Anyone have a good paper looking at presence/absence rates of outer membrane porins in E. coli clinically? What is the occurrence rates of infections caused by E. coli lacking ompA/C/F? I've lots of papers showing the impact of omp loss on AMR and virulence, but how common is this? #MicroSky

"We are concerned by the action that Clarivate is taking, but not because of the possibility that eLife will not be eligible for a Journal Impact Factor but because Clarivate can use its market dominance to shut down innovation"

"This development reinforces how a commercial entity such as Clarivate, can, through its ownership of scholarly databases and indices, hold the academic community to ransom"

Clarivate's actions regarding eLife: DORA's response | DORA The Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) recognizes the need to improve the ways in which the outputs of scholarly research are evaluated.
