We have 2 fully funded PhD studentships available through the new Yorkshire Biosciences DTP (starting Oct 25) - please share! Both projects are focussed on #phage that infect #Cdifficile
Exciting news: MEEhubs has been rescheduled and will be held from January 9-11th 2024! Mark your calendars and maps! Hubs will be in USA West (UC San Diego), Mexico (UNAM), USA East (Emory), USA NorthEast (Boston College), the UK (Oxford Uni) and Switzerland (Uni Lausanne) (1/3)
@LindC15 sadly this round of funding is not. The ACCE DTP (and most other UK DTPs) generally can fund one or more students to the international fee level but this one-off funding is restricted to the home student level only. Sorry!
More £££ is now available to study the interplay between evolution and horizontal gene transfer in the emergence of novel symbiotic strains. 🚨Closes 8th march 🚨 go to https://t.co/vrydsi2PtY to find out more about the lab and get in touch.

🚨Funded PhD! Plasmid transfer can 'instantly' create new rhizobial symbionts. But can it really be that simple? Come explore the interplay between horizontal gene transfer and evolution in symbiont evolution with me and @Chomicki_G https://t.co/5I0dwIpN7o
As a regular listener of TWIM it’s super exciting to have our latest paper featured in it!
If anyone fancies a little listen to this week in Microbiology they’ve included our recent @PLOSBiology paper. https://t.co/bGWb8lT45Z
🎉🚨 1 year, technician job available. We'll be working on a super fun project using experimental evolution to explore plasmid-mediated host shifts in rhizobia.

HGT is not a bacterial process! It's a product of interactions between bacteria and all the inhabitants of the genetic ecosystem ❤️🦠👇 lovely perspective from @MicroTanya @Vicki_TR_Orr@jpjhall
@CyanoNey @coevolving We drizzle a line of phage down a plate then streak a bunch of bact across the line. Same idea but we don't have the high volume of concentrated phage for plates
this was published after we wrote it but a beautify and excellent resource showing how academia is failing black academics in particular...
