Why are the #FarRightThugsUnite gang taking “protecting our children and streets” to mean fight, burn down a citizens advice, loot, smash up buildings and scream hate? How are they rationalising this to themselves?

Friday publication announcement! I am super excited to announce that Lauren Hatfield Helen Gavillet, Michelle Hardman, Chris van der Gast and I have a new MMU's Department of Natural Sciences #cysticfibrosis #microbiomeecology paper out in @mBio! 1/4 journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11…

Gisèle Pelicot is the person of the year.

I'm starting the year with good news! Thrilled to say I've been selected as one of the Rising Stars at the Lena Group Respiratory Hub 🫁 RTI forum in Glasgow this February! Looking forward to sharing some data from our Kaftrio study! Which reminds me I really need to book a train.... 🤔

My #GBBO bakes are finally done! This year I’ve made a croissant, Twix bars, carrot cake, Viennese whirls, opera cake, orange tart, fondant fancies, and “An innocent nun out on a pleasure cruise” Quite proud of all these tbh. All #glutenfree

And we are officially on the way to Glasgow for Lena Group Respiratory Hub 🫁 #RTI2025! Looking forward to this and to doing my talk!

I’m still getting used to the conference hotel experience but I have to say dammmmmnnnnnnn this is nice hotel. It’s got allllll the mod cons, I feel very fancy. #conference #RTI2025

Hopefully the 1st of a few talks this yesr as we get into the meat of this research! Thanks for having me! #RTI2025 Lena Group Respiratory Hub 🫁

I could never trust a mycologist. Too much spore exposure. Oh, mushrooms are a "crucial part of various ecosystems" are they? Or is that the mold talking?

I know I say this all the time but good grief science is so cool. bbc.com/news/articles/…

The penultimate arc of “Andor” echoes colonial history—from the British Raj to modern Gaza—resulting in nail-biting, heart-wrenching genre television. Star Wars has never been more invigorating. It feels, in a way, reborn. joysauce.com/andor-uses-rea…

Honoured to spotlight Helen Gavillet, #RTI2025 Rising Star 🌟 Explore her inspiring journey in respiratory science. 🔗touchrespiratory.com/insight/dr-hel…

Off to Milan for #ECFS2025 next week, so I figured I’d start packing the essentials, I’m not sure this is gonna be enough to be honest! Excited for this years conference and to present our updated findings from the KAFPATH study! #cysticfibrosis #microbiome #kaftrio #trifakta

It is HOT in Milan but I've got my lanyard, I've got lost, bought an emergency brolly, and I'm ready for a day of sightseeing tomorrow before we get rolling! #ECFS2025

Our very own Ryan Marsh presenting his #CysticFibrosis gut microbiome & metabolomics data at the #ECFS2025 meeting in Milan Helen Gavillet will be talking on her effects of #Kaftrio on the #CF respiratory microbiome data a bit later today Cystic Fibrosis Trust Northumbria Uni

A pleasure to talk at #ECFS2025 today, and to see everyone else's research as well, looking forward to tomorrow's sessions! #microbiome #cysticfibrosis

New paper alert! Further application of ecological framework to Pulmonary exacerbation in PwCF. (A conference talk and a publication in one week? Madness I tell you! 😅🙏) #cysticfibrosis #microbiome #ecology

Pleasure to present and be the most haunting presence at the Microbiology Society ECR summer conference today. Couldn't stick around as I am snowed under but its nice to see loads of early career folk finding their feet. #cysticfibrosis #microbiome #earlycareerresearcher

🌟 Future Leader Spotlight: Dr Helen Gavillet Helen Gavillet As a winner of the RTI 2025 Rising Star award, Dr Helen Gavillet is helping drive new understanding of the lung microbiome in cystic fibrosis. In this Q&A, she reflects on the shift from gut to lung microbiota, the

As someone with 2 baby teeth hanging on with nothing but sheer will power (hooray for congenital defects!) I am very excited about this. The idea of not having to get implants or bridges fitted? That’s wild, impressive, but wild.
