5-years in the making this paper has been a real journey!

Also, a fun collaboration with @frimanscience.bsky.social @jofoth.bsky.social Edze Westra, Simon Lovell, Aras Kadioglu

A teal flyer for a PhD opportunity to investigate how warming may change antimicrobial resistance. The project will use experiments on Klebsiella bacteria to answer questions about how temperature affects their response to antibiotics, plasmid transfer, and fitness costs. The research involves microbiology lab work, bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling. The flyer includes contact details for Dr. Daniel Padfield and the logos of the sponsoring institutions.

I have an MRC-funded PhD project available (www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...) on how warming will change the problem of AMR. Join a small and friendly group (padpadpadpad.netlify.app/about) in (sometimes) sunny Cornwall. 🧪🦠 #microsky

Congrats Mike 🥳

One week left to submit your abstract to @microbiologysociety.org meeting on “Understanding and Predicting Microbial Evolutionary Dynamics” at Liverpool 26-27 November

Lots of spaces for ECR talks and posters!

1/27 We have a new paper out! Turns out that snowflake yeast have been hiding a secret from us - they've evolved a (very!) crude circulatory system. Not with blood vessels or a heart, but through spontaneous fluid flows powered by their metabolism. 🧪🔬

🚨 Reminder! You have just over two weeks to submit an abstract, if you want to present at the @microbiologysociety.org meeting "Understanding and predicting microbial evolutionary dynamics" in Liverpool in November! #microsky 🦠🧫🔬

Fresh new abstract books are waiting for the #esm2025 congress, which starts in a few days. Don’t forget to follow us from Sunday onwards!

Great postdoc opportunity available in Zurich!

Michael Lin (Stanford) reports his grant on anti-COVID meds was terminated.

Pandemics become endemic.
Endemic diseases require treatments.
Treatments require research.
Research requires continuity of support.
Continuity of support requires federal funding.

But the WH just doesn't get it.

A microscopy image of snowflake yeast on the cover of Nature, with the extended cells of two clusters barely touching in a manner reminiscent of Michelangelo's depiction of Adam touching God in the Sistine chapel.

Awwww yeah, check this out: snowflake yeast making their cover debut!
