The start of our NTUScienceTechnology Antibiotic Awareness Afternoon with an excellent talk from Dr Negus on the predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus!

What do you think a scientist looks like? After a visit from Samantha McLean to talk about microbiology, one of the year 6 students from Whiston Junior and Infant School sent us this wonderful picture. #outreach #microbiology #diversity

We’ve just had a paper accepted in ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science 🍾 . Thanks to an excellent collaboration with the McLean group at Nottingham Trent University. @GroupThomas Samantha McLean

Congratulations to our CEO Kirsty Smitten for winning the 2022 Royal Society of Chemistry Emerging Technologies Competition Health Category. Her pitch on our antimicrobial platform impressed an expert panel of judges yesterday including representatives from top pharmaceutical companies.

Chris Jones from Sharklet Technologies asked and answered a very important question: Biofilms contribute significant costs to the economy. How much per year worldwide? The answer is staggering: $4 trillion! #TrillionWithaT #MBM22

Great first day at the Montana Biofilm Science & Technology meeting! Can’t wait to listen to some more fascinating talks today! The Center for Biofilm Engineering

SHORT THREAD: Was just on BBC News (UK) responding to the comments made by Sunak & backed by Truss saying scientists had too much power, lockdowns were a mistake etc 1. They are rewriting what happened - the situation pre vaccine was very very scary with 150K dying pre wide vax. 1/7

Looking forward to the Healthcare Infection Society Bridging the clinical - research gap meeting today!
