I am pleased to announce a 4yr Leeds-funded PhD in my lab looking at 5’UTRs and other aspects of RNA Biology in Streptomyces spp. DM or email if interested. Please RT! phd.leeds.ac.uk/project/1334-t…

One highlight of my last minute holiday was finally seeing Micropia - amazing to see microbio presented so vibrantly!

What a week! JIC centre #SSAM22 in Dubrovnik. Lots of amazing science discussion and (lots x10 of) amazing people. Thank you to all the speakers and organisers. Thanks Royal Society of Chemistry Researcher Development grant for allowing me to attend! The great world of microbes ⚗️🧫🧬

I was honoured to be asked to contribute to the Small Things Considered this week with a post about the animation Challis Group & I made illustrating our research on natural products. A great experience and hopefully a chance to introduce more people to our field! #scicomm #chembio

Fun time making our directorial / acting / producing debut for the Astbury Society. Really pleased to see everyone working together during our #AstburyRetreat activity

Ah well, we had nearly 100 years of antibiotics working.

Excited to see these features roll out on MORF db soon! Thanks for a great opportunity to develop my programming skills! @BBSRCWhiteRose

Nothing like welcoming in the new year with a trip to the Lakes

Great The Astbury Centre New Year quiz! Hope everyone enjoyed!

Really fun time organising the Understanding Life in Molecular Detail Sports Day ‘23! Great to see a mixture of people from across the centre pitch in

Cracking 2 days of natural product research from fellow ECRs at #CBNP16

Had a really motivational time last week at #DirectingBiosynthesis7 and then at #CBNP17 - it was great to present my work through a poster and a talk over the two conferences

Great to hear about the progress we’ve all made

Well deserved mini-break to run (hike?) away from thesis writing

Thrilled to have passed my PhD viva yesterday! Many thanks to Andy Truman and Bruce Turnbull for a great discussion, and of course thanks to collaborators, lab members and my supervisors Ryan F. Seipke, Glyn and Mike for their support over the years

Great to see this is out, and pleased I was able to make a contribution to this community effort!

After an undergrad, a PhD and a postdoc at the Uni of Leeds, it’s been nice to have plenty of Christmas do’s and lunches in the past couple of weeks to reflect on my time here before leaving

Have you ever wondered: Which antibiotics are most common? How much is used in livestock? How do antibiotics even work? Which countries monitor antibiotic resistance? We have a new page on Our World in Data with data on all of these & more! Check it out ourworldindata.org/antibiotics
