Having a fun time with my Newcastle University PhD student Dr. Ryan Thompson at IES ALGUADAIRA in Spain!! He is having an research internship with us in Inoculant Ifapa

Durante el mes de mayo nuestros estudiantes de 1º de Bachillerato de Ciencias disfrutaron de una actividad organizada por IFAPA sobre el uso de microorganismos beneficiosos en agricultura.

Some promising growth from the plant trials I have been conducting during my placement 🍅🌱🇪🇸

Had a great time at Inoculant Ifapa for the last two months, conducting plant trials and practicing my Spanish

Three days at the microbiology society annual conference, had a fab time catching up with my supervisor MCarmen Montero-Calasanz, old course mates and learning way too much virology 🧪🔬 #Microbio24

I have been organising a 12 hour fence-a-thon charity event for Newcastle fencing club, any spare cash you have to donation would be really appreciated, full details in the link below 🤺👇 crowdfunder.co.uk/p/marathon-fen…?

Very proud to have raised over £1,000 for some great charities during the fencing clubs 12 hour fence-a-thon 🤺 Thanks for all the support and donations on the day, really appreciated 🙌

Wonderful time in Prague 🇨🇿, presenting at the 7th international symposium on biosorption and biodegradation/bioremediation Alot of interesting discussion regarding my metagenomic analysis of Alnus glutinosa root nodules from a metal polluted chronosequence 🌳🦠🧫

Great time presenting my metagenomic study of Alnus glutinosa root nodule associated bacterial communities at the 6th Annual EBNet early career researcher conference 🌳🧫🦠

Very happy to have submitted my PhD thesis today, would not have been possible without the support of my wonderful supervisor MCarmen Montero-Calasanz Likewise, very pleased to have been awarded three months of post-submission funding by Newcastle University to continue my doctoral research.

Very happy to have published the fifth paper of my PhD, detailing the Actinorhizal-Frankiaceae symbiosis and its application in phytoremediation 🌳🦠.

If you have any contacts that are farmers/growers, we'd love some help getting our survey out to them to find out about their problematic soils! Part of our spinout efforts at gains.bio research.typeform.com/to/SaywsRvh?ty…
