First up, @rachelapayne.bsky.social who is a Molecular Microbiology Research Assistant. Rachel investigates environmental AMR, focusing on antifungal resistance in air & soils, & antibacterial resistance in rivers. She uses a combination of lab, field & desk-based studies to carry out her research๐Ÿงซ๐Ÿฆ
