When I woke up in the ICU after my cardiac arrest, the first thing I remember thinking was “whoa I’m alive.” The second thing was “oh my god did I have to get a Foley catheter?”

It feels a little surreal but my first paper is finally published! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… with amazing collaborators from across University of Bath, UK Health Security Agency and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, we investigated cationic biocide tolerance in Proteus mirabilis (1/11) 🧵

Great to #talkmicrobes at #microbio23 alongside colleagues TrudieMcC @DrKatieMuddiman Lots of food for thought, with some great talks and posters - now we go, keep working hard, and #publishforthecommunity Microbiology Society 🙌

*insert generic tweet about #microbio23 and how pleased I am to present my poster here this week* Celebrating my first ever trip to Birmingham 👍 Microbiology Society

A cider a day keeps the UTIs away: The almost true story of my heroic struggle to rid a friend of a troublesome UTI. Thanks to Becca Wray for her photography skills, and to Iford Cider for the inspiration

You always hear rumours of people stripping to fund their phds, but never thought it would end up being me. Now I've tried it I can't think of many better ways to earn a bit of cash #fightthestigma #availableinthebathandwestwiltshirearea #willstripforcash #phdlife

"60% of women in their lifetime will develop a UTI, with around 20-30% of these cases becoming untreatable.” The latest opinion in #TheMicrobiologist argues that better early education of women’s health is vital to successful antimicrobial stewardship. the-microbiologist.com/opinion/me-my-…

Possibly the fanciest place I've ever used the words urethra and lubrication in the same sentence. Very pleased that Doris and her catheter were given their moment to shine thanks to National PhD Training Programme in AMR

Last talk of #Microbio24 Isobel telling us about her work on polymicrobial communities in the catheterised urinary tract

Another great opportunity to join us University of Plymouth - PhD studentship in #antimicrobial discovery & #microbial #ecology. Working with our colleagues at the Roman Baths. Just over 10 days to closing date. #AntimicrobialResistance #NaturalProducts jobs.ac.uk/job/DGV234/phd…

If you're in the Bath area and want your evening at the pub ruined by me boring you to death with some 'fun' science facts come along to Pint of Science at the Bath Brewhouse on 15th May!

I am SO excited to announce that I have finally opened a microbiology jewellery shop! If you've ever seen me at conferences and liked my earrings, please check it out! ☺️🧬 pinkpetri.etsy.com

Great news that Sean Kelly has been awarded this extra funding, glad all the hard work is paying off and can't wait to hear about developments in the mycobacterium abcessus research world 💪

There is a major lack of microbial/music parody stickers. Thankfully I'm here to change that! pinkpetri.etsy.com

New sticker alert! Fleetwood MacConkey anyone? 🎵🦠 pinkpetri.etsy.com

This pretty much covers every paper I've ever read
