Yes! Just published a timeline as a figure in a paper. Not done one of these since GCSE history😁. mdpi.com/2076-0817/13/6…

Delighted that our review of Aeromonas dhakensis is now available. This zoonotic bacterium can infect many warmwater aquatic animals and is often misidentified as A. hydrophila #fishdisease #aquaculture Institute of Aquaculture Stirling Natural Sciences Pathogens MDPI mdpi.com/2076-0817/13/6…

A great privilege to hear from Prof. Dame Melanie Welham on her career journey & inspiring advice for our Eastbio DTP students at last week's Annual Research Symposium hosted this year University of St Andrews. Quite the coup! 😀 #eastbio24

Loved this from BBC Sounds archive: Institute of Aquaculture legends discuss challenges in tropical aquaculture in 1999. Importance of University of Stirling in aquaculture // Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office overseas aid // disease diagnoses // nutrition, feeds & circular economy. Well worth 13 mins! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

I'm delighted to co-lead the new ‘AMR in Agrifood Systems Transdisciplinary (AMAST) Network’ that takes a ‘farm to fork’ systems-thinking approach to tackling #AMR in the UK food system #AMASTNetwork. Funded by UK Research and Innovation. Info on the new networks here: ukri.org/news/new-resea…

Eight new networks announced to tackle antimicrobial resistance #AMR, funded for 4 yrs by UK Research and Innovation. Looking forward to contributing to the leadership of two of these (#AMASTNetwork and IMPACT). Stay tuned for more info Stirling Natural Sciences Quadram Institute London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

Great piece by Tom Kerridge at the Inverlussa mussel farm (Isle of Mull). Mussels are sustainable and a highly nutritious #aquaculture #SuperFood. Available on STV & ITV (ep. 4): player.stv.tv/summary/tom-ke… & itv.com/watch/tom-kerr…

The transdisciplinary IMPACT AMR Network funded by UK Research and Innovation for 4 years & led by Clare Chandler seeks to prioritise the most effective interventions that reduce the burden of #AMR across society. The team's hard work paid off! Should be a great network with important outcomes.

Interested in #AMR? Is project management a strength? Then why not apply to be our IMPACT AMR Network Manager (4 yrs, 0.5 FTE based London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine). Applications close 19 Aug. Please flag to potential candidates.

Epidemiological cut-off values (ECVs) help track & respond to antimicrobial resistance #AMR. We used data from USA, Ireland, UK & France to determine ECVs for several antibiotics vs Aeromonas salmonicida, a major fish pathogen. Stirling Natural Sciences Cefas doi.org/10.3354/dao037…
