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.

Text below in a grey text box reads AI tools can be helpful, but they may also give you misinformation, biased or shallow content, and made up references. So it's very important to be critical by cross-checking facts, verifying references, watching for bias, and seeking multiple perspectives. Always remember, success at uni and beyond often means thinking critically, which is something you have to do as AI can't do it for you. A green text box below reads always check your module information to see if and how you're allowed to use AI.
