Some bugs delayed the bot from tweeting, but since it's last tweet we've surpassed 3M read records and 3M sequence records! Phenomenal. The bot is happy.

My clinical PhD student Ben just passed his exam. Turned down twice for a Wellcome/Sanger PhD, a positively reviewed MRC fellowship and more. We backed each other, stuck together and now have an outstanding scientist/clinician. Always believe in yourself. Just find the right path

Are you an early career researcher in STEM whose career has been impacted by Covid? Fieldwork or experiments delayed? Essential supplies on back-order? Lack of childcare? I want to talk to you for a story! Womxn & historically excluded groups preferred.

Yep,this is why #PublishAndRead type deals from learned societies (@MicrobioSoc & @royalsociety + others) are so good, researchers can publish without APCs (the institution pays a fee), the research is free and any profit goes back to supporting science #PublishForTheCommunity

[Professor Gordon Dougan FRS @GordonDougan1]

Will be a key area and institute as we monitor the impact of climate change on health and environment.

A milestone once more! Over 2.5 million read records and 2.5 million sequences publicly available. A credit to those scientists around the globe who support open data sharing. After this past weekends announcements, I suspect this milestone will be dwarfed in no time at all!

this is one of the most gorgeous outlooks on grief i have ever heard

[Microbiology Society @MicrobioSoc]

The Society has published a position statement entitled ‘Safeguarding the Future of the Microbiology Research and Innovation Workforce’ calling for employers, funders and governments to prioritise and support #EarlyCareerMicrobiologists. Access it online. https://t.co/n8olOw8sb0
