@dnatured @DrHHNZ Word for word that’s how I’ve written it in my thesis 😉

[Heather Hendrickson @DrHHNZ]

Yay! @kok_danielle has had her first article from her thesis published! This is a review on phages protecting honey bees! Congrats D! @UCNZbiology

"Save our bees: bacteriophages to protect honey bees against the pathogen causing American foulbrood in NZ"

[Heather Hendrickson @DrHHNZ]

The ABAtE project @MasseyUni has updates! Check out what we have been up to in our efforts to find bacteriophages that can kill the pathogen that causes American FoulBrood (AFB). https://t.co/pcasjxN3FO

Masters student Jo Turnbull (@babyphage)@MasseyUni took this TEM image of NZ Phage Lilo-2. A virus that can kill the honeybee pathogen in NZ. This phage is just 1 of 34 that Danielle Kok (@kok_danielle) has discovered in the ABAtE project! #MicrobiologyRules #SaveOurBees

@osilander @freed_nikki I found City’s and Knights first and then adding Seafarers was a good combination, but extremely impressed your 5 year old has memorised all the cards!

[Heather Hendrickson @DrHHNZ]

One of MANY PhD students at @MasseyUni who administrators have suggested "can just find another advisor" mid-PhD project. Admins surprised to hear closing science might cause student stress! #MentalHealth @PhD_Balance @SusannaLHarris

Our Petition to #SaveAlbanyScience and thereby #SaveMasseyUniversity has reached 6500! Join us in telling the Chancellor and University Council that @MasseyUni and #Albany deserve better than for #Science in Albany to be dismantled!

@DrHHNZ @WilliamPearman Couldn’t have done it without your continued help and support #bestPI

It's Bee Aware Month here in New Zealand and the ABAtE project at Massey is in the second edition of the Apiarist's Advocate! #PhageHuntNZ #ABAtEProject #SAVEBEES @MasseyUni @kok_danielle @ellop0ppet

[Heather Hendrickson @DrHHNZ]

Danielle kok (@kok_danielle) and I spoke to the North Harbour science fair students on our campus today about #PhageHuntNZ and the #ABAtE project. They collected 100+ soil and compost samples to help save bees and had awesome questions. Thanks! #Microbiology @MasseyUni #NZLabLife

[Danielle Kok @kok_danielle]

@virome_girl @1CourtneyDavies those negative concentrations 😂

[Danielle Kok @kok_danielle]

@beegirl_nz @DrHHNZ @daniellekok Thank you so much! The first batch are being processed as we speak 🐝🥳

What is the most numerous entity on the planet?
Bacteriophages! Never heard of them? Check out my chat with @DrHHNZ from @MasseyUni to find out how these amazing viruses can be used to help New Zealand honeybees 🐝 @NZScienceLearn @kok_danielle #ABAtE
