I feel so lucky to be included in this amazing project led by @AlexRHorsley and cannot wait to get started!

Keep an eye on https://t.co/HNYTFkuTXH for details of an upcoming PhD studentship opportunity associated with this work.

[Asher Leeks @AsherLeeks]

I’ll be recruiting at all levels from March 2025, for projects involving theory, bioinformatics, and experimental microbiology.

Enthusiasm > previous experience.

Please get in touch if you want to explore the social lives of viruses.

Super excited that the final version of our paper on mutation rate plasticity and oxidative stress is out now at PLoS biology! This paper shows how mutation rates are a highly dynamic trait shaped by genotype, community composition and abiotic factors. 1/8 https://t.co/rpbxldAJxm

#AskMeAboutAMR

#Antimicrobialresistance is a global pandemic that must be addressed in the Pandemic Instrument. If we don't #Actnow, AMR could push 28.3M people into extreme poverty by 2050. Collective Action from stakeholders is needed. If not, #AMR will put #SDGs in Jeopardy.

[Prof. Dame Sally Davies @UKAMREnvoy]

Following an exciting Youth Summit, the #TrinityChallenge has opened a funding competition to develop a youth-led #AMR campaign focused on WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) and Schools.

My department is looking for a lecturer/senior lecturer (assistant prof equiv) in “biochemistry” with a month to apply. A broad search but should align with strengths (eg micro, pathogens, proteomics, detection) https://t.co/drMfbHWNAn
