🆕 Cutting-edge technology has allowed scientists at the Quadram Insitute and Earlham Institute to watch bacteria developing antimicrobial resistance in real-time 👀 🦠 Matt Bawn Eleftheria Trampari Rob Kingsley Mark Webber buff.ly/3Uw7YRN

Apparently, taxing billionaires is actually worse for the economy. If you don’t believe me, just ask a billionaire. They all agree.

I led my first tutorial today. It seems the princes bride isn’t that well known amongst 1st year undergrads.

Mourinho saw the red card and dipped 😭

Some very interesting questions that impact how we should teach

This is happening today! If you are attending #Evol2023 and are interested in assessing your #informalEducation and #SciComm activities, come and check out my talk and the whole education symposium. SSE

nature.com/articles/s4425… A highly multidrug-resistant strain of S. Kentucky ST198 is circulating in Zim. The data highlight need of incorporating genomic epidemiology of NTS thru a One Health approach. Thanks Quadram Institute WHO Zimbabwe World Health Organization (WHO) WHO African Region dtu University of Pretoria Institut Pasteur, since 1887

A great example of how Africa is using genomic sequencing for pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance. This is in line with the World Health Organization (WHO) vision to unite, inform and strengthen genomic surveillance efforts at country, regional and global levels. Thank you to great

Happy to share our results on #plasmid #evolution. We show that plasmid contribution to gene transfer corresponds mostly to transfer of the plasmid entity rather than gene transfer between plasmids and chromosomes. doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… Great work by Samer Kadibalban!

Ever wondered how fast accessory genome dynamics of bacteria really is? In a new preprint we (Marco Molari, Liam Shaw) explore how rapidly E coli picks up genes horizontally, breaks genome synteny, etc.. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… For a thread by Marco see mstdn.science/@mrcmlr/112772…

I’ll soon be moving to Newcastle University and have this PhD position applying computational biology and genomics: #PhD #AMR #STEM #biology findaphd.com/phds/project/p…

Do you know where the allegations that Algerian boxer Iman Khelif was trans started? Surprise, it was Russia. Let me explain in a short thread. 1/8

interesting pipeline that might enable very large-scale pangenome construction. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
