Bacterial resistance, smart inks, reimagining waste and energy, a world without pizza (?!)...drop by this Saturday to hear about all these topics and more from inspiring female scientists

🦠🦠Bacteria vs Scientists👩‍🔬👨‍🔬: Who Will Win in the Resistance War? Eilidh Matheson from QUB - Chemistry & Chemical Engineering will be sharing her research as part of Soapbox Science 2022 from 2-5pm Ulster Museum this Saturday. Queen’s University Civic Engagement For Women in Science @lorealuki PETRONAS NI Science Festival Belfast Live

Thanks to Eilidh Matheson from the QUB - Chemistry & Chemical Engineering for her great presentation on bacteria as part of @SoapboxScience2022 at the Ulster Museum @petronas For Women in Science NI Science Festival

What is antibiotic resistance and why is it the next health crisis? Watch our latest video with @BBCIdeas and hear from Dame Sally Davies and other scientists working on the solution.

And here we are! Enjoying the first #ChemicalBiology Ireland conference in UCD UCD Chemistry UCD Science in sunny Dublin. More than 110 attendees from 13 countries!

(1/4) I’m not one for posting this kind of thing on social media but sadly it’s reached the point something has to be said. Energy bills in the UK are to rise by >80% on 1st October whilst inflation is skyrocketing. And yet UK Research and Innovation are doing NOTHING to support PhD students.

Grateful to have won a prize for my poster at the @RSC_CBBG forum yesterday. Thanks again to Stephen Cochrane and Joanna McGouran for organising a great day!

We have a CAST PhD studentship with PSI Paul Scherrer Institut on "New Tools for New Antibiotic Targets!" An exciting #chembio project QUB - Chemistry & Chemical Engineering including a placement in 🇨🇭 Available to UK residents and deadline Feb 23rd. See link for details. Please RT!

Thrilled to announce that I've been awarded an ERC Starting Grant! My project NEW HOPE (yes, it's a Star Wars ref 😂) will develop new tools to find membrane-targeting antibiotics 🧵European Research Council (ERC) Horizon Europe 🇪🇺 Queen's University Belfast 🎓 QUB - Chemistry & Chemical Engineering @QUBEPS #ERCStG #ERC qub.ac.uk/News/Allnews/2…

Exciting interdisciplinary PhD studentship opportunity! Successful candidate will work in both Stephen Cochrane QUB - Chemistry & Chemical Engineering and Eric Morgan lab in School of Biological Sciences Applicants from the UK and Ireland are eligible. A project that takes me back to my roots as a farmers son😀Please RT!

Great to present my poster at EPS 2024 in Florence last week, organised by European Peptide Society! I am grateful to have received the Emily Sarah Montgomery travel scholarship QUB Scholarships & Awards and a @RSC_CBBG travel bursary to attend. Thanks again to both these organisations for the support!

Happy to share that an outreach project I have been involved in with Kevin Morgan and Johanne Brolly over the course of my PhD has recently been published in the American Chemical Society's Journal of Chemical Education ACS Publications 👨‍🏫 #JCE #ACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
