@AdrianA40807461 So sorry Adrian and Jen. Heartbreaking, but you gave her an amazing 12 years and you’ll have some wonderful memories. 💔

Thanks so much to Mark, Blair, Helen and everyone who has contributed to this crowdfunder. Pizza today was delicious and enormously appreciated by laboratory staff at RIE! @NHS_Lothian @mrblairbowman

Delighted to have been involved in this piece of work - a real labour of love - with @AnneHol83224188 & Mary Hanson. Thanks to Melissa Ward and to FSS for their funding, support & patience. Looking forward to phase 2 of the study with Health Protection Scotland! @swimjer

We commissioned Scottish E. coli O157/STEC Reference Lab to use Whole Genome Sequencing to improve understanding of the profile of STEC in Scotland. Their findings https://t.co/Cghf7eE8jB show the diversity of non-O157 E. coli strains implicated in Scottish STEC infection cases

A fabulous couple of days for the Scottish microbiology reference labs at #ABPHM19. Thanks for organising such a wonderful event @jennifergardy @DrKatHolt @pathogenomenick

[Infection St Andrews @Infection_StAnd]

The Scottish Public Health Microbiology team attending #APBHM19 @ACSCevents conference at @sangerinstitute. A great opportunity for networking and learning to support developments in Pathogen sequencing. @Infection_StAnd @univofstandrews @StAndMedicine @StAndrewsBSRC

Our paper on whole genome sequencing of huge European Listeria collection finally out. Great work from Ivo van Walle to make this happen.

@on_lothianbuses slight “disagreement” with a 38 driver about “valid” stops during current diversion. Your website states 2 stops on Colinton Road are valid (one in each direction) as below but he says the depot has advised them that there are no stops btwn Balgreen and Watson’s

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

Ninety-six e-coli cases have been identified in Ireland in the past ten days, which is more than three times higher than this time last year.

It’s been an incredible trip...so inspiring! Thanks to all at CDC for making us feel so welcome! Is Derek always so smiley at work? He hasn’t stopped smiling all day 😁. Might not feel the same in a couple of hours when we have to run to our connecting flight at JFK! #PulseNet https://t.co/GRE46aYPqm

I'm really proud we took the decision to speak out on immigration. Visa caps are damaging @sangerinstitute's science with impacts on global health and for the UK economy. Delays in recruitment mean science not done. Apologies for the pay wall. https://t.co/2cNeL5YONX
