What can I say other than Agona is officially finally a goner!😇It was great to see that PLOS Pathogens & the reviewers appreciated how big this study was Thanks to everyone for their help - I started this work after my honeymoon & I'm so pleased my marriage has out lived it🤣

It's HERE! Our long awaited paper revealing phylogenomic variations in #Salmonella Agona that lead to persistent infection in PLOS Pathogens dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa… Thanks Gemma Langridge, UK Health Security Agency's Marie Anne Chattaway & Amina Ismail Ahmed, & 🦠Winnie Lee🦠 Now to the next 3 papers..

Really pleased I managed to find 1/3 of the Langridge Lab.bsky.social followers as they move to #bluesky. The things I do for you guys! Now to sort out my own account!

I have decided to make the move to Bluesky! Follow me here bsky.app/profile/emmabe… You will find me here less and less.. Hopefully, I'll see you on the other side, especially as I have some very exciting news about the big and bright future of #WhatIsAScientist? to share soon 🌅

Great to see the MMBDTP get so passionate during my favourite day of the comparative genomics week - a day full of finding deletions, insertions and genome structures. Plus a snow day! ❄️ I think an early Xmas jumper might be acceptable...

It was exciting learning genome rearrangement. Gemma Langridge and Emma where great tutors and taught us some us some new exciting stuffs.

Our Emma Waters has been busy again... 1st she presented our latest publication on #Salmonella Agona persistence in humans Quadram Institute's Annual Science Meeting. She did a great job summarising 3 yrs of work into 15 min See the bits she missed out here dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

We have decided to make the move to Bluesky! Follow us here... bsky.app/profile/langri… We will hopefully see you there!

It was wonderful to have Alice Nisbet and Eleanor Hayles back in time for Langridge lab Christmas! Definitely been quiet without them! A final little push to sort out the last bits of a wonderful 2024! Looking forward to help with the awesome things we have lined up for 2025!🥳
