We recently discovered lateral transduction (LT). Now, we unveil the 4th mechanism of transduction: lateral cotransduction. This system involves SaPIs and is more powerful and versatile than phage-mediated LT. Great fun with JChen Lab and Ross Fitzgerald cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Great to see so many GW4 AMR Alliance PGRs & ECRs giving talks, chairing sessions, judging posters and taking part in panel discussions. Great work Larissa John @KeiraCozens Elliot Stanton @davvi36 Cara Patel (She/They) 🦠Winnie Lee🦠 Claire Scott and Vicky Bennett

UMAP and t-SNE are widely used in single-cell genomics to identifying features of interest, and visually explore data. In a new paper w/ Tara Chari we find that extensive distortions and inconsistent practices make such embeddings counter-productive.🧵journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a… 1/

Also a very neat summary table. Thanks to Joël Girès for pointing me to the {summarytools} package and it's `dfSummary()` function.

📢Our Students in the Spotlight📢 Antimicrobials are key in keeping animals and humans healthy. Elliot Stanton researches what allows some farms to use fewer antimicrobials than others, reducing the likelihood that microbes develop #OneHealth #AMR

Pleased to be involved with this exciting #AMU research, offering neat ways to analyse complex questionaire data and study how that relates to antimicrobial usage dynamics🐑💊 #AMR #OneHealth

Congratulations to Langford Vets, part of @Bristol_Vets on the success of this surgery and ongoing positive impact on the lives of so many beloved pets. 🐶

Briefly out of London to present some of my PhD research at AACTING 2024. Excited to share my findings that farm different typologies have unique antimicrobial usage profiles. #AMU

Normally I’d partake in conference coffee complaints, but not today! #AACTING

Yesterday (4 February) marked #WorldCancerDay As part of our latest programme, we're working on new research into diet, nutrition and cancer that looks at the influence of diet on the risk of cancer development. Learn more, including how to contribute: post.parliament.uk/approved-work-…

Are you (or someone you know) researching diet, nutrition and cancer? Please do get in touch if you would be willing to input your contributions to the the production of an upcoming #POSTnote #diet #nutrition #cancer post.parliament.uk/approved-work-…

An estimated 40% of cancer cases in the UK are preventable, and evidence suggests some are caused by what we eat and drink. Public health interventions could help reduce the number of diet and nutrition associated cancers. Find out more: post.parliament.uk/research-brief…

I hope Panini do a General Election 2024 sticker album.

Thanks so much for contributing!

Are you completing a PhD on a food science and technology topic? You could join us for a 3-month fellowship in UK Parliament with IFST, providing expert briefing material to parliamentarians on food science and technology topics. Apply now: post.parliament.uk/institute-of-f…

Thrilled to see these mind-blowing specimens published. Every day working on the tomographic data revealed new intricate details. I still can’t quite believe that they exist, never mind that I got to work on them. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Thank you Bristol North West. 🌹

Our latest paper has just been published in Preventative Veterinary Medicine. It explores how we can use wide, farm-level datasets to place farms into distinct typologies and how different Welsh sheep flock typologies have different #AMU profiles. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

After a slightly chaotic journey I made it to Isvee! #ISVEE
