It was such a rewarding experience to be a part of the @unimelbRDU 3MT finals today! Had the pleasure of meeting amazing researchers and hear about the "stories" of their research!! 😊 (And also meeting some adorable fur babies after the talks)!

[Researcher Development Unit @unimelbRDU]

And to @UniMelbMDHS PhD Candidate @SamThakur95, our runner-up! Congratulations -- your engaging and fascinating analogy of the Trojan Horse in understanding invasive Salmonella has really stuck in our minds, as did your brilliant your use of the stage space.

[Samriddhi Thakur @SamThakur95]

So excited to be a finalist at 3MT this year! 😀

[Researcher Development Unit @unimelbRDU]

Thanks a bunch to the #MicroSeq2023 committee for giving me this exciting opportunity! Always a pleasure to be part of the Microseq family!

[MicroSeq2026 @Microseq_ASM]

One of the many #Salmonella serovars is Salmonella Virchow. Through analysis of 413 genomes, 2nd year Ph.D. student @SamThakur95 shows multiple lineages, STs, pathogenicity islands, and virulence factors. Few AMR mechanisms. #MicroSeq2023

Such an amazing and enlightening evening!

[VIIN @The_VIIN]

Q&A at #VIINcareers. Upskilling, networking, getting your foot in the door are the common themes for finding a science career outside academia.

[Samriddhi Thakur @SamThakur95]

It was an absolute pleasure listening to Dr. Libby Kruse on how to "Science" but in a different way while keeping connected to the people at the #VIINcareers, @The_VIIN. Always a pleasure to meet such inspiring women in STEM.

[Samriddhi Thakur @SamThakur95]

Such a great talk by Dr. Francisca Ferreira de Almeida about her incredible journey through academia and transitioning to become a CRO, and highlighting all the challenges and ways to overcome them! What a great start to #VIINCareers evening @The_VIIN

Our (me, @JuddLmj and @DrKatHolt) new paper was recently published in @PLOSCompBiol:

I'm particularly fond of this one, as it takes my PhD thesis and distils it down to practical advice.

@JacPearson_79 Congratulations Jac! 👏🏼👏🏼

[Samriddhi Thakur @SamThakur95]

Passing my 1 year PhD mark today somehow made me realise that life changed so much in the last year! Met amazing people and experienced the moody Melbourne weather! Looking forward to more interesting times ahead ☺️

Gathertown at #MicroSeq2022 was super fun! (Definitely should be kept in future) 😆

[Lucie @LucieSemenec]

Brilliant work solving those puzzles in Gathertown Elizabeth Mullens and @SamThakur95! You are the winnners of the #MicroSeq2022 Quest and will be receiving your merch soon!

[Samriddhi Thakur @SamThakur95]

Glad to be a part of #MicroSeq2022! Big thanks to the organisers for the opportunity to present my work @Microseq_ASM

[Lucie @LucieSemenec]

Great lightening talk by Samriddhi Thakur on epidemiology of an emerging pathogen in Victoria, invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella Virchow and Salmonella Panama!

[Samriddhi Thakur @SamThakur95]

And of course, can't end the post without thanking the judges, the sponsors and the POSSIIM organisers 🙂

[Samriddhi Thakur @SamThakur95]

And in the saga of firsts: this was my 1st award in the PhD journey. Big thanks to my supervisors @hayleyjnewton and @DrDanielleIngle for their guidance, and Doherty MDU team, Newton and Scott labs for their support. And of course my peers (especially @c_higgs_) for inputs!

[Samriddhi Thakur @SamThakur95]

A few firsts of PhD life... First trip outside Melbourne, first conference with some great scientists, and first 3MT presentation (more to come soon)! Thanks to the organisers at POSSIIM and @TheDohertyInst

[Samriddhi Thakur @SamThakur95]

With fellow first year PhD students from @TheDohertyInst at @The_VIIN Careers evening! #VIINcareers

[Samriddhi Thakur @SamThakur95]

An informative and encouraging evening!

[VIIN @The_VIIN]

What a wonderful evening hearing about the diverse career paths of @CatrionaNR @alvinlo80 @melanie_neeland, @v_j_j_j and Victoria Jameson. There are many different opportunities out there for people who have STEM training. @GabrielaKhoury signing out at #VIINcareers

More evidence on the safety and immunogenicity of typhoid conjugates for Africa .... @PreventTyphoid in Malawi - a great team to be part of!
