First trip in the field for my ONE Planet DTP PhD project on #freshwater #invasivespecies today, in the beautiful #Northumberland with Dr ZP (she/her)!

Dr @SariqaWagley is a researcher at UoE. She investigates bacterial dormancy and has used #TruLarv as a model host to demonstrate a subpopulation of viable but non-culturable cells demonstrates better fitness for revival. Happy #IWD2021 Dr Wagley! buff.ly/3eg62uh

In addition being a #microbiology researcher, Dr @SariqaWagley is a passionate #STEMM ambassador and Soapbox Science Exeter coordinator #IWD2021 #ChoosetoChallenge #internationalwomensday

A budding side career as a photographer perhaps? Excited to see my photos in my supervisor @SariqaWagley’s research blog about dormancy in Vibrio parahaemolyticus and the implications to food safety! Thanks Sariqa! #WomenInScience #phdlife #Vibrio researchfeatures.com/novel-detectio…

I miss you so much Alexandra Hughes <3 It makes me so happy to see your beautiful self and hear about your experiences at the #SfAMECS2021 Industry Workshop!

Thanks @SfAMtweets for the opportunity to be a panel member in today's #SfAMECS2021 Industry Workshop. It was interesting to hear other people's industry experiences and contribute some of my own! I hope we gave an insight into science in industry! 🧫🔬🧪 #science #industry

Super proud PI moment...Ava Waine only went and convinced an industry partner to finance an entire #eDNA study as part of her #PhD on the risk of #invasivespecies dispersal from bulk water transfer transfers! BOOM!!! YOU GO GURLLLL! Persistence pays! Modelling, Evidence and Policy

Getting packages from supervisors is always fun! Thank you @SariqaWagley, practical and delicious! 😊 #science #WomenInSTEM #surprisechocolates

First #hedgehog visitor! I love those little land urchins Dorset Wildlife Trust

Arrived at my first in-person conference, #Microbio22 in Belfast! Equal parts nervous and excited to be showcasing my research on #vibrios, catch me Thursday at 11am in the auditorium! #WomenInSTEM #ScienceResearch #phdlife #microbiology

Excited to be in Belfast for #Microbio22! 🦠 Presenting a poster on the impacts of climate change on Vibrio vulnificus wound infections along the East Coast of North America 🌎 I'll be around between 18:30-20:00 to answer any questions 😁 find me by poster A016

All the best Alexandra Hughes. Have a fantastic first conference @ #Microbio22, from ExeterMicrobes! 👏👏👏🧐🦠#vibrios #microbiology #phdlife #WomenInSTEM

Brilliant talk this morning by Alexandra Hughes on Vibrio parahaemolyticus in UK waters! 🌊🦠

Amazing work by @SariqaWagley investigating the resuscitation of viable but non-culturable Vibrio parahaemolyticus cells! #Microbio22 #VBNC #Vibrio 🦠🧫 Link to paper: journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Well done Alexandra Hughes & @SariqaWagley !! 👏👏👏👏#vibrios #Microbio22

Been accepted to give a 20-minute talk at the SfAM ECS Symposium in Cardiff next month! @SfAMtweets #SfAMECS2022 Excited to share my work on #Vibrio infections & climate change in North America! 🦠🌡️🌊

Had an amazing time at the #SfAMECS2022 🦠 had a long overdue catch up with Elitsa Penkova 🦠 and I especially enjoyed Lizzie Archer talk on climate change and Vibrio vulnificus, well done Lizzie! 🙌🙌

Did you know that a UK PhD stipend is so little that it puts recipients below the absolute poverty line? UK PhD stipend (outside London): £16,062 Absolute poverty line (60% of 2011 median income): £16,883 No one does research for the money but surely we can do better than this?
