Still can't quite believe that we lived & worked through a pandemic - but it did give me a unique opportunity to learn about nosocomial transmission dynamics of infection. This is my first first-author paper and I'll certainly be taking the lessons learned into future research!🧬

@IneosOxford I don't think of phages as organisms, but creepy robot aliens 👀🤖👽

@IneosOxford Love this post (even if I'm a bit late 🤣) An honour to be up next to all these excellent researchers! 🥰

To celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we’re sharing stories and research from some brilliant scientists at IOI 🧵⬇️

🦟Recent research co-authored by IOI DPhil students Kate Cook and Shonnette Premchand-Branker found that flies in Nigerian hospitals carry antibiotic resistant bacteria, posing a risk to patients.

It's World Wildlife Day! 🌿🐜

In conversations about antimicrobial resistance, the environment can often be forgotten.

The IOI's AVIAR project shines a light on the role of flies as vectors of disease and #AMR

@IneosOxford Interesting - so will it be 💩 samples?

With #Budget2024 confirming an increase in minimum wage I've updated my chart of UKRI minimum PhD stipends.

From next April, PhD students in the UK will be around £1400 a year worse off than if they worked 37.5 hours a week on minimum wage

Great talk by @KirstySands1 @IneosOxford using @nanopore to be able to gain insights into genomics that were not able to be captured by short read sequencing #amr #surveillance #MGen 🧫🧬

Facebook asked me to post an update from the first photo. From broken back to broken GridION, I'm not sure what was more upsetting 🤣

[Kate @_KateCook]

@KateCook721002 @nanopore @IneosOxford Somehow I have 2 Twitter accounts 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

Emotional moment holding our GridION as she took her last breath. She has now been replaced with a shiny new one, but we will always remember iona1 with gratitude for the thousands of bacterial genomes, microbiomes and phages she has given us ❤️ @nanopore @IneosOxford

Hello @UniofOxford @OxfordBiology how can I get a rainbow lanyard to add to my collection from previous studies/jobs? I've seen people around Oxford with rainbow ones but I don't know where to get one 🙏🏼🌈

[Kate @_KateCook]

@PinkPetri Wow, so nice to see this blowing up after chatting with you about your creations at genome science 😍💗 ummmm @KirstySands1 it is my birthday next month 👀

[@SpillerLab @Spiller_Lab]

Great to see our collaborative commentary with our @IneosOxford coauthors published in The Conversation (@TC_Africa) raising awareness about #AMR in babies in #Nigeria highlighting our continuing collaborative research.

Nothing gets me moving for the day quite like my ride on the top deck of the S3 down Woodstock road (my arms were spontaneously thrown in the air as if I were on a rollercoaster this morning) #potholes @OxfordCity

[Kate @_KateCook]

@Garance_F_U @IneosOxford This sounds interesting, perhaps you could share more info when available? Please feel free to email me and I can pass the info around. [email protected]

[Kate @_KateCook]

@bugseq Thank you 🥰

🦟 To celebrate #InsectWeek we're shining a spotlight on research from the AVIAR project.

Hear from IOI DPhil student Kate Cook who studies how flies contribute to the spread of infections in hospital wards in Kano, Nigeria.

Whilst everyone is appreciating insects on #WorldInsectWeek, I just want to keep you on your toes 😉 Here's a preview of the poster I presented at @nanopore London Calling this year - A metagenomic analysis of bacteria carried by insects on hospital wards in Nigeria.

@Garance_F_U @IneosOxford Hello, very interesting! Do you have a reference for this please? I am a PhD student working on this project in Oxford 😁
