I don’t like to use twitter much anymore but I thought it would be worth announcing that I passed my PhD viva, massive thanks to @KennethWasmund and @McCarthy_Ronan as my excellent examiners but bigger thanks to my amazing group and in particular my supervisor Prof Sam Robson! 🧬
I didn’t have a chance this week either to announce officially Dr Lamb!!
My micro PhD bff, inspiration and now official expert in Bosham sponge microbes! 🦠👩🏼🎓🪸
At #ECConf24 we are awarding two EC Microbiologist of the Year poster prizes. In the lead up to the poster final, we spoke to poster finalist @the_phagemage, from @QUBelfast - https://t.co/PBSKq5OfRr
Lovely trip of the @DOME_Vienna members to the Viennese vineyards.
Come join us in Vienna @cemess_vienna - we have several open positions in our Cluster of Excellence @MicrobesPlanet - for more details see: https://t.co/7xWbYJq7Nc
In all seriousness, I am submitting in September so if any PI is looking for a post doc in the microbiology/pathogen/evolution/environment fields who makes lovely R graphs and BioRender figures (and loves nanopore) please let me know! 🙏
Happy International Day for Women and Girls in Science! 🧬👩🔬🩷
Putting this collage together made me realise how many amazing women I have been lucky to work with and teach and mentor me in science - I hope I can go on to do the same for women and girls I meet in the future!
Very grateful for such a supportive and wonderful PhD experience from beginning to end! A massive thank you to @joyemwatts and amazing examiners @JPrestonDiggles & Prof. Alan Dobson! Excited for all the science that’s to come & v glad to be #PhDone 🥳
📣 Come work with us!
We are very excited to be able to offer the following #SoCoBioDTP funded #PhD project with the team in the #Sequencing and #Bioinformatics Group at the University of Portsmouth (starting 2024) 🧬
(Deadline: 8th January 2024)

Does anyone have experience calling modified bases from nanopore data? I’ve been using modkit but just looking for some sensible thresholds to only get methylated bases and not all CpG - should I be filtering for fraction modified in the bed file? 🤯 #nanopore#methylation#help
