Extremely humbled to have won the University of Cambridge Vice Chancellor's Early Career Researcher Award. This wouldn't have been possible without the support of @markaholmes, @CambridgeAfrica and @CamUniEngage funding and the amazing team of volunteers @pepf_amr
Interesting talk @TARGet_AMR conference by Dr @JGarciaIglesias on the importance of involving communities from the start when deploying genomic technologies. No assumptions should be made as these technologies can deepen or address inequality. #TARGetAMR26

Today at the @IneosOxford organised Beyond Antibiotics Conference, Dr Jennifer Shelton emphasises the growing challenge of fungal dzs & antifungal resistance. This is a problem that is closer to us than we imagine and we must embrace a One Health approach in tackling this. #AMR
On this International day of Women and Girls in Science, we are reminded that women and girls play an important role in science and should be supported in every possible way. #WomenInScience#STEM#WomenInSTEM
