O Christmas phage, O Christmas phage, thou art so lysogenic. Bind those cells, extend your tails, send in your genes, so resistance fails. O Christmas phage, O Christmas phage, plz help cure those infections.

@Plusnet I can't make or receive phone calls (but have 4G connection) and I can't call the help number to fix, please help. #catch22 I have tried Googling the issue and done everything short of a factory reset on my phone...

@samstudio8 PEW PEW LAZORS.

Have you considering joining the alliance? >.<

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

@samstudio8 yeh but now you have a Python so... who needs a cobra or aspx?

You: I really like YouTube
Me, a phage scientist: I too, like U-tube...

Big congratulations to Dr. @LifeIsDifficile who successfully defended her thesis today. Needless to say, we are all very HAPpy with the result 😁

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

@Hairy_Llama haha, I see what you did there! :D

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

Huge thanks to Diego Morgavi as external, Martin Swain as internal and @IBERSEquine as chair for the viva today, thoroughly enjoyed it!

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

It's been a weird 2020 for many, but the last few weeks have been extra strange for me. Passing like a flash, we bought a house & moved in, started a new job and today I passed my viva, all in time for Christmas. I am now Dr. Jess Friedersdorff, 3rd of her name, lover of phages!!

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

@samstudio8 Blood pressure can deviate a lot, depending on what your normal "base" is, what time of day it is, if a white coat is staring at you, you're stressed, tense or dehydrated, wind is blowing north or the day of the week ends in a 'y'. Good luck getting feeling back in your arm. 💪

Invites to review 2 papers and writing my own grant proposal... does this make me an adult now? #lookmumimdoingit #science #phdlife

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

@RMG_network I mean, if I'm successful at my grant application I'd love to offer to host an RMG workshop/conference event, but this won't be until 2022 or 2023. Although maybe this fits with the pandemic time scales anyway!

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

Staring at the floaty bits of leaf in my tea, I can't help but think...
Can I get a small desk centrifuge?🤓🤔

... I need to get back in the lab 🙃

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

@RMG_network are there any networking or conference events for ruminant researchers planned soon? I realise that we are in the middle of a pandemic, but anything on the horizons? :-)

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

@sharonhuws @RMG_network @bdspublishing Mine arrived too! I was surprised it was so thick! Seeing my name printed in there made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Until my mum asked how much we get in royalties 😅😅

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

@gutmicro2018 Will there be a INRA/Rowett conference in 2021 or 2022? :-) Thoroughly enjoyed 2018 conference, was great to meet other ruminant researchers.

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

I'm wondering - Biden has called Trump a 'clown' and to 'shut up, man'. Do you think Trump is pushing buttons everyone has such that anyone would be exasperated and react this way or is this a result of poor debating skills? #Debates2020

[Jess Friedersdorff @LifeIsDifficile]

@jbarro I was wondering this. What else can Wallace do, but remain polite and ask either candidate to remain silent whilst the other speaks?

[Chris Creevey @Hairy_Llama]

Late breaking PhD opportunity in @CreeveyLab on metagenomic analysis of microbial ecology and evolution in early life of ruminants. w. @sharonhuws @kattheodoridou Please share! Sept 18 deadline! @QUBIGFS @QUBbioscience @RMG_network https://t.co/wRTAYoY9hQ
