[COVID AMR project @AmrCovid]

Our research was highlighted at the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly at the High-level Meeting on #AMR, so we thought we'd create a short video highlighting our work in Sudan and Zambia @ucl_global @ffntoumi @AliZumla @JohnTembo1982 Link in thread below...

The @AmrCovid project I led was highlighted at the 79th @UN General Assembly! As I just finished my @absw media fellowship at @scidevnet (thanks to @ucl_global!) I thought I'd use my new digital media skills to create a short video highlighting our work, funded by @BSACandJAC

In an effort to finally get off Twitter, I'm going to make an effort to post any news from our work at the O'Connell over at Bluesky - feel free to follow if you're on there too!

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

MicroRNA genes have evolved and expanded within the genomes of multicellular organisms for over 500 million years.

Today, we know that there are more than a thousand genes for different microRNAs in humans, and that gene regulation by microRNA – discovered by this year’s medicine laureates – is universal among multicellular organisms.

Great to hear @jack_harper_ from Nottingham talking about his PhD work on the ancestry of global sparrow populations @OfficialSMBE

[Jonathan Fenn @JFennBio]

My interests align! Very cool to see Kate Duggan's (from @edin_EID) PhD work using Minecraft as a public engagement tool to teach children about viral evolution and epidemiology.

This AI generated image went through a review process and was accepted by journal. How is this possible? Scientists spend months writing an article to ruin it with AI generated image?

Looking forward to some great talks at the first full day of SMBE 2024 @OfficialSMBE
Find my work on miRNA presence/absence and Eutherian placental phenotypes at poster 61 (and look out for other work from @Evol_Molly 's group at posters 78 & 110

Our paper is out! Very proud of this research with @Mair_Iris and ⁦@JFennBio⁩. Ecoimmunology matters and allows lab research to be placed in context. And thanks to ⁦@PLOSPathogens⁩ for putting us on the front cover of the May issue! https://t.co/C1lIyoVISl

[Jonathan Fenn @JFennBio]

Thrilled to finally have this one published! Read about the adaptive response to Trichuris infections in lab vs wild mice, from our work on the Isle of May.

New postdoc position at Edinburgh, working with the Isle of May mice!
Worth a look for anyone with experience in mammal microbiomes, or an interest in the relationship between host and environmental factors in shaping responses to parasitic infections.

[Iris Mair @Mair_Iris]

Intrigued by ecoimmunology and have microbiome experience? We have a postdoc position open for our project working on wild house mice - join us to disentangle the contribution of diet, the gut microbiota and the immune system in shaping parasite responses! https://t.co/zpUVBqwut2

[British Society for Immunology @britsocimm]

The first #Immunology News edition of 2024 is out! 🌠

Hear from our members working on a range of areas including the fascinating emerging field of #ecoimmunology & explore recent BSI news, activities & highlights 📰

Read it here 👉https://t.co/yBDaFc9nEG

[Kathryn Else @kathelse]

My and @Mair_Iris ecoimmunology article is out in the new @britsocimm newsletter; and on the front cover too!

[Tom Pennance @schisto_tom]

Exciting 12 month postdoc opportunity, with possibility for renewal, at

Great to have been at the @BIAZA Conservation Conference, and really pleased to be able to share about our @TwycrossZoo Conservation Strategy

My latest blog is out! You're probably familiar with tuberculosis, and maybe even M. tuberculosis. But what about all the other bugs that can cause TB-like disease? Find out why it's so important to get a correct diagnosis and treatment: https://t.co/CEdaYC2VOu

[Jonathan Fenn @JFennBio]

I will have a poster at this today - come by if you want to learn about microRNA evolution!

[Leeds'Omics @leedsomics]

We've been having lots of learnings and fun during our LeedsOmics Intro to RNA-seq Data Analysis Workshop, happening 6th and 7th/Dec. Many thanks to all attendees.
