Had a great time at #ISOPOL last week where I presented some of my PhD results, and spent 4 days learning about current fantastic Listeria research! 🦠🧫
Thank you to @MicrobioSoc and ##UKFSRN for facilitating my attendance! #listeria#foodsafety#biofilms#phdlife
So bloody proud of my dear friend @_lucysutton and her mum who completed the London Marathon yesterday! They’ve raised lots of money for @kidneycareuk too. If you’re able to sponsor them, please do so here: https://t.co/jztyv7a14B
#OnThisDay in 1822, Louis Pasteur was born 🎂 Let us celebrate his birthday by looking back at his significant contributions to bacteriology, particularly in #vaccination, fermentation, and #pasteurization. His work made a huge impact on microbiology and beyond🧫🦠
#OnThisDay in 1846, Walther Hesse was born. He created agar as a culture medium for microorganisms with his wife, Fanny Hesse. Society Champion @micro4all, shared this interesting blog of agar being turned into art: https://t.co/E84vHuwesu
back to reality today after a busy few days at the @SoCoBioDtp industrial biotechnology summer school at @UniKent and @niabgroup. lots of food for thought about potential future careers, lots of fun with dear pals and lots of strawberries 🍓
#Inktober2018 Day 7: Exhausted. #Bacteria fact: When faced with adversity like limited food, some bacteria enter a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state, where cells appear to be metabolically inactive but still alive, as a way to survive until better conditions arise.
If you’re a vegan, don’t worry at all! @_lucysutton has you covered- her incredible Petri dishes 🧫 are edible and if your supervisor asks, just say you’ve been busy with your cultures 🧬 @sotonbiosci@sotonbsps#MacmillanCoffeeMorning
though I’m still slightly bitter that we had to call our (magic poo) diagnostic test IBDiagnosed rather than Poudini, I had a wonderful time with dear friends learning everything there is to know about business on the @SoCoBioDtp summer school last week at @SussexUni
