Great Microbiology Society Marjory Stephenson prize lecture by a truly deserving Maggie Smith at #microbio24 . I have a whole new appreciation for bacteriophage. What a great contribution to have made to science

Not long to go until Maggie Smith’s Marjory Stephenson Prize Lecture at Microbiology Society #Microbio24 , the first of a fantastic crop this year.

Check out #AccessMicro negative results collection highlighting studies that didn’t work out as planned, but produced rigorous data, with an introductory editorial from the inimitable Elisabeth Bik Microbiology Society

Something we all know is important but don’t do as much as we should! #AccessMicro has launched its ‘negative’ results collection - perfect home for all that hard work/data you previously thought unpublishable!

The very best of luck in the next chapter of your life Annette. U will be missed by UCD Science and Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc

Did you know AMF spores can host hundreds of endobacterial taxa? Find out how many in my interv. to Olga Lastovetsky (@ucddublin) for our South American Mycorrhizal Research Network International Mycorrhiza Society YT vlog, where she talks about her New Phytologist on this. van der Heijden Lab Francis M.
