Awesome time giving a flash talk and poster presentation @MicrobioSoc about some pedagogy research I did during my teaching placement 🎉

[Becky Menday @BeckyMenday]

@EmmaBeansworth what an awesome outreach talk showing the diversity within science!

Loving the @VoM_UK conference this year and it’s great to see the Sheffield phage army representing

It's been a busy conference week for @MM_Sheffield. Three members of our research cluster presented their work at #ClostPath2023 in Banff, Canada. Well done @BeckyMenday, @BuddleJess and @Hannah_Fisher2 from the @PerBullough and @RobFagan labs

[Becky Menday @BeckyMenday]

Absolutely smashed it!!

[Dr Hannah Fisher @Hannah_Fisher2]

Really enjoyed sharing our work in Clostridium sporogenes at #Clostpath2023 this morning! Thanks to @dw_scientific for supporting my attendance at the conference and of course to the lab @PerBullough @RobFagan
@BeckyMenday @BuddleJess

[Becky Menday @BeckyMenday]

And breatheeeee … talk done 😅 The audience were amazing, so thankyou for letting me give a talk at such an awesome conference! Wouldn’t be possible without such a supportive team! #Clostpath2023 @RobFagan @PerBullough @Hannah_Fisher2 @BuddleJess

[Becky Menday @BeckyMenday]

@fortierlc @RobFagan @PerBullough Thankyou!! It’s awesome to collaborate with you!

[Becky Menday @BeckyMenday]

@TheRiotMicrobe @RobFagan Thankyou!!❤️

[Becky Menday @BeckyMenday]

Very excited to be in Banff - and I suppose the conference is pretty cool too! 🗻🦠🔬#Clostpath2023

[Jess Buddle @BuddleJess]

Super excited to share our preprint (which is also my FIRST research paper (!!!)) on vancomycin resistance in C. difficile using evolution – looking at fitness of evolved strains, mutations involved and population dynamics – A THREAD 🧵 (1/9)

[Jason wilson @JSamWilson]

🎉🎉 🥳 We are very excited to finally share with everyone our latest preprint on a fascinating bacteriophage infecting C. difficile, with 12 structures from a 23 MDa phage! and a few surprises along the way. Let us take you on a tour of phiCD508… A thread 🧵 1/9

[Andrey Shkoporov @AShkoporov]

Our collaboration with @YSBL_York @UniOfYork
resulted in this stunning atomic resolution structure of (nearly) complete virion of crAss001, a crAss-like phage. Huge congrats and thanks to Oli Bayfield, Fred Antson, and all co-authors on this paper! https://t.co/QIs7Eu1kAW

Amazing talk about interrogating Jumbo phage infection within the host cell using cryo-ET by @TheVillaLab I absolutely love seeing phage structural work! 🔬 @ccp_em #phage #CryoEM

[Becky Menday @BeckyMenday]

A really brilliant and thoughtful talk from @CrollTristan giving a talk about the careful consideration needed for model building and what the next few years really needs to make sure published structures do the community proud 🔬@ccp_em #CryoEM

[Becky Menday @BeckyMenday]

Absolutely mind blowing talk from @alanbrownhms about the beautiful structures of axonemes! I thought I had a lot of structures to build but his team’s work really puts it into perspective! @ccp_em #cryoEM

[Becky Menday @BeckyMenday]

Amazing talk by Elizabeth Wright @erwright73 chatting all things tomography, FIB and integrative fluorescence! My favourite highlight was the CbK phage binding to the flagellum caught in action using beautiful tomography 🔬😍

[Becky Menday @BeckyMenday]

Enjoying the eBIC user meeting today at CCP-EM! Love seeing so much FIB milling🔬@eBIC_Diamond @ccp_em
