🚨We are hiring! A MRC-funded PDRA position to study novel anti-phage systems & their evolutionary dynamics in P. aeruginosa, in collaboration with Freya Harrison. If you are passionate about phage-bacteria interactions & evolution, apply now ! tinyurl.com/bddz4z44

Super opportunity to join Giusy in Glasgow!

400 job cuts announced at Cardiff University. The Vice Chancellor has said “not to change was not an option.” Maybe the Vice Chancellor could propose a change to her £290,000 salary or give her company car back. UCU will deliver a widespread fightback against these attacks.

Excited to share our latest research 😀: Impact of commercial gut health interventions on caecal metagenome and broiler performance. Huge thanks to Gladys Maria Pangga for her incredible effort 👏🏼 Nicolae Corcionivoschi and many others for their contributions 🧫🐔🦠🧑🏼‍🌾 link.springer.com/article/10.118…

It's a win for PGRs ✊ After sustained campaigning by UCU, UKRI-funded PGRs can look forward to the biggest real-term increase in funding two decades ucu.org.uk/article/13885/…

An Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) is in place across Great Britain with mandatory housing measures in parts of England. Watch our video by The Surrey Poultry Vet to find out what actions you need to take in the AIPZ: youtu.be/VFWZk9bpG1Y?li…

Love phage-bacteria interactions, anti-phage systems, and a sprinkle of evolutionary biology? There’s still time to apply and join our team in Glasgow at UofG Sii !

So happy that I can finally share the results of my first postdoc paper with Michael Baym!! Turns out plasmids are an amazing system to study multi-scale evolution and we can track within-cell and between-cell dynamics! Here’s a photo of plasmids competing inside cells in a colony (1/n)

We have extended the deadline for this! If you are passionate about phage-bacteria interactions, check this out and join us!

Barely off his death bed and dropping anti capitalist content. Guy's a real one
