Presenting some of my PhD research at the #BES2022 poster session today. Drop by poster B10.1 to find out more about the gut eukaryome and disease state of wild house mice! 🦠🐭🧬 @Louise_Cheynel @LivUni_IVES@ACCE_DTP
Presenting my first PhD poster. Come and have a chat later today if you’re interested in meiotic drive and the effects of suppression of fly testes! Poster number 359! I’d love to meet you :) #ESEB2022#S23#meioticdrive@eseb_org@LivUni_IVES
Finally presenting some of my PhD work at a conference! Drop by poster 535 today if you're interested in wild mouse gut microbiomes and want to have a chat! 🐀 #ESEB2022@LivUni_IVES
Happy to say our Nat Comms paper has been published!
Genomic diversity across the Rickettsia and ‘Candidatus Megaira’ genera and proposal of genus status for the Torix group

The CO-EEID worked hard to make it possible : we managed to increase the maximum number of places for the EEID 2021 conference.
Registration is open again until Friday June 4 (or before if we reach the new threshold).

@LiverpoolGuild@LivUni@LivUni_IVES@LivUniLibrary do you know what's happened with student ID cards? PhD students who require daily access to labs have had their card reprinted? Currently no access for students and no warnings given.
....Differences between control and low MAC mice were progressively bigger each generation
Introducing control microbiota to low-MAC 4th gen mice restores lost microbiota 🦠🐁🌽
How do MACs (microbe-accessible carbs) affect 🐁microbiome? https://t.co/i2w7XvG3Ur
Low MACs diet reduces key taxa in the gut, some taxa don't recover after switch to high MACs
Carb-degrading enzymes are reduced after 4 gens on low MAC diet=loss of glycan degrading capacity....
How does Giardia alter microbiota?🦠🐁 Mice (w/ or w/o antibiotics) were infected with Giardia
Higher Giardia burden in mice w/ antibiotics
Giardia altered microbiota diversity and abundance in gut
Potentially mediated by inflammation or Giardia metabolism

In an attempt to conquer my ever-growing 'to read' list (and use Twitter more 🧐), I'm going to tweet a summary of each article once I have read and understood it. My starting aim is one paper a day... 🐭🦠
First up, how does the microbiome interact with protozoal infections in humans? Microbiota can either provide additional immunity to the host or increase virulence but we need to understand these mechanisms much more.🦠🧬

Super interesting workshop full of useful info ran by @ASanchez_Tojar on evidence synthesis for #ACCEconf20
Will definitely be taking this on-board for my own meta-analysis!
@ACCE_DTP
Soooo I gave my twitter handle to #ACCEconf20 to try and gain some new followers and increase my audience reach. I guess that means I have to actually start using twitter now...
