Congratulations to Daphne Jackson former Fellow, Naomi Dyer in publishing, what an achievement 👏 Naomi's Fellowship was hosted at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and sponsored by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research.

Sorry, BlueSky codes all out; but lots of posts with these floating around, good luck! See you all on the other side.

Got new invites! DM if you need one 😊🌤️

An absolute monster effort from the incredibly talented Shannon Quek , hot off the (pre-)press: The RNA virome of human and animal parasitic nematodes researchsquare.com/article/rs-326…

Science nerds hit me up if you want a 🟦☁️ invite, I have 5 codes to give away

Hej, I'm now at non-cloudy weather; same name as here 😊 come by and say hello!

Such an important scheme, thanks to all involved Daphne Jackson Trust; it was such a pleasure for me as mentor working with Naomi Dyer LSTM Vector Biology the last years under this scheme and now see her incredible follow-up success (not sure if official yet so I'll keep it mysterious)!

Currently visiting my roots in Vienna DOME - Microbial Ecology 🧫🔬🦠🧬 and really excited to hear about all the research on environmental health happening here! Huge recruitment for a new Cluster of Excellence these days; fantastic opportunities to work in a great environment microplanet.at

Our foray into the fungal microbiome of mosquito vectors. We show that the bacterial microbiome impacts colonisation of fungi in Aedes aegypti!

New PIs need to print this and post it on a wall. If you're wondering why people keep quitting academia to join industry, these are your reasons 👇

Congratulations Aidan Foo on his first paper, now accepted! Fishing out 🦠genomes from 🦟 (or any host) genome data using a 🐍make pipeline. Hopefully useful for others as well, making more of your hard-won genome data 😊 LSTM Vector Biology #microbiome wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/8-131

Last day 🥹 after a great 2.5yrs here with Eva Heinz Grant Hughes 🦟🦠 and all. But also super excited for my independent position back at the Univ of Salford. Looking forward to collaborating on current, old and new stuff 🦟🐝🧫🧬🦠🦐

Fantastic paper, have raised this repeatedly, especially when working in places like UK or Oz as non-native speaker. An important point to also consider is career progression, which usually goes via interviews, often with only English native speakers in the panel...☹️
