I'm so happy to receive this New Investigator award - we are excited to get to work on this project and understand metal tolerance in our fungal-pine system!

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are important underground partners of forest trees. @JessicaFletch_r of @CUDenver will investigate how these fungi can protect pines from metal contamination in soil. @sarambranco @Wanghaihua5 @Sunnyhl158 (5/13)

Thanks to @evoltreeNW for letting me give a flash talk on my research before @sarambranco gave an awesome seminar about her career spanning work on fungal diversity.

We read this cool Mycobacterium tuberculosis article this week at our journal club. They used experimental evolution (for 2 years!!) and WGS to identify convergent adaptation in biofilm inducing conditions! @Dr_Flanman check this one out

Great weekend spent @CUBoulder Mountain Research Station for GREEBS - so fun to hear about all the amazing ecology/evolutionary biology research in the Rocky Mountain region. And thanks to everyone who listened to me talk about our Suillus-heavy metal tolerance project!

[Jessica Fletcher @JessicaFletch_r]

Delighted! Thanks to my excellent examiners @BuscainoA and @KroegerLab 💃

[Derek Sullivan @derekjdullivan]

Congratulations to the new Dr @JessicaFletch_r on her magnificent defence of her PhD thesis today #mycology #candida #CRISPR and a special thanks to her lovely examiners @BuscainoA and @KroegerLab #tcddublin #dduh12 🥂

We are looking for a post-doc to work with us on the genetics of the C. albicans TLO gene family. Position available now!

[Jessica Fletcher @JessicaFletch_r]

It only took 4 years, 3 months and a global pandemic.. but I submitted my thesis last night! Even storm Barra couldn’t stop me.

Exclusive: The Science Museum has signed a gagging clause in its agreement with Shell International to sponsor its climate change exhibition, agreeing to take care not to say anything that could damage the company’s reputation, Channel 4 News has learnt.

I'm excited to be presenting my work on the TLO gene family of Candida albicans at #iadr2021 this week.

I'm taking part in the Hatton Competition, and you can check out my poster on Thursday (Senior Basic Science Category: IADR Hatton Competition II).

Attempts to cycle from Rathmines to Howth yesterday were foiled by the intense headwind on the coast. Abandoned ship with around 2 km left. (We did enjoy a stop for some nice coffee and views in Clontarf before things went downhill).

I'm back at home in Donegal, and I think I've eaten more scones in the past 7 days than I have in the last year.

I'm glad this is a tweet so no one can question my pronunciation of 'scone'.

My cells look happy to see me :)

[Jessica Fletcher @JessicaFletch_r]

I've just been informed that an actual picture of me came up on the first results page when a friend googled my name... The majority still look like this though.

[Jessica Fletcher @JessicaFletch_r]

I forgot I cleaned up my computer desktop last night.. I just opened my laptop and panicked. I forgot I put all my files in the Documents folder.. where they are supposed to be.

[Jessica Fletcher @JessicaFletch_r]

I had my final six month review with my supervisors today (hopefully)! I find it helpful to take a look back at what you have done and to create a plan for the future. I'm feeling positive about the next few months of the PhD process!

The first woman Provost in the 429 year history of Trinity College Dublin has been elected. I'm proud to have been able to cast my PG vote for @LindaDoyle. Great things are coming!

[Linda Doyle @LindaDoyle]

Thank you for placing your trust in me. I am honoured to be Provost-elect @tcddublin. Let’s do amazing things during the next decade! #ImagineTrinity

[Jessica Fletcher @JessicaFletch_r]

@saz_egan Sarah!!! Woohoo. This is amazing, well done gal 😁

If you have to go into the lab on a bank holiday, you have to make sure to treat yourself on the way home. Today I picked up some freshly baked pastries from Bread41.
