📢Our review of the impact of bacterial purine synthesis on antibiotic tolerance and resistance expression is now out! A lot of food for thought and contrasting data from E. coli and S. aureus... 🤔

[Dr Jo Hobbs @Hobbs_Lab_Micro]

📣 We're hiring! We have a 12-month vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with skills in molecular microbiology. See the details and apply here: https://t.co/OiXVKpYrPa

Please share!

Such a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon! 🏎️ 🏆 @DeventerAshley (aka Daniella Ricardo) was victorious, with @microclaire a close second. What should we do for our next lab outing?!

[Dr Jo Hobbs @Hobbs_Lab_Micro]

It's out! The final peer-reviewed version of our paper on Prs-mediated tolerance in S. aureus COL is now published in Molecular Microbiology. Read it here! https://t.co/FJ67J7BqYO
Congratulations @microclaire!

📢 The Journal of Medical Microbiology is looking for Editors for the Antimicrobial Resistance section! No prior editor experience required, so it's a great first gig for an ECR. And you get subsidised attendance at the annual meeting. Open to applicants worldwide🌍 @MicrobioSoc

[Dr Jo Hobbs @Hobbs_Lab_Micro]

Made it to Heidelberg! Excited for 4 days of talks - never seen so many talks on tolerance at one meeting! #EESDrugresistance @EMBLEvents

[Dr Jo Hobbs @Hobbs_Lab_Micro]

Really looking forward to my first GRC (if I get a spot)!🤞

Has anyone placed an order with the E. coli Genetic Stock Center lately? Are they still functioning? I can't get anyone to respond to my emails and there's no phone number! 🤔

[Dr Jo Hobbs @Hobbs_Lab_Micro]

📢 New preprint alert! @microclaire @DeventerAshley @StAndrewsBSRC

So this is what my team gets up to when I'm away! 😆😍🧝🎄

[Jessica Blair @JessicaMABlair]

Another PhD opportunity in the team! This time its an exciting collaboration with @hall_lab and @kim_hardie looking at why not all bacteria become resistant! https://t.co/yXDIeFSaAh Deadline 10th Jan and open to Uk and overseas! Pls RT!

[Dr Jo Hobbs @Hobbs_Lab_Micro]

Great day of talks @BSACandJAC Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms Workshop! And now these two get to present their posters @microclaire @DeventerAshley 👏🦠🧫

[Dr Jo Hobbs @Hobbs_Lab_Micro]

One very proud supervisor here😊 @DeventerAshley did an incredible job of explaining antibiotic tolerance to non-scientists during her TEDx talk last night 👏

[Dr Jo Hobbs @Hobbs_Lab_Micro]

This worked for me - twice!

[Ronan McCarthy @McCarthy_Ronan]

Deadline to submit an abstract and avail of the early bird registration for the BSAC Antibiotic Resistance and Mechanisms workshop is this Friday. Always a great meeting with lots of opportunities for ECRs!
