On Friday my research group at @OxUniEarthSci and I had the pleasure of being a part of the Oxford University Museum Of Natural History (@morethanadodo) annual 'Late Night'. All in all, a fantastic event, engaged audience (of over 1000 people!) and beautiful venue.

A hypothetical protein turns out to be an alkaline phosphatase with highest affinity yet. Glad to share this work led by @Sechyss & Andrew @IanDEALidbury @RichardPuxty1 @milja001 Fran, Richard & Scanlan lab @WarwickLifeSci @UoBbiosciences https://t.co/ZCbTwlJUn2

https://t.co/v9ENQgow77 Evolution of a high-affinity phosphatase with convergence to classical PhoX. Great work from @Sechyss Andrew Murphy, among others at @WarwickLifeSci

[Alberto Torcello @Sechyss]

Finally out, check our biochemical characterisation of Psip1 as a novel phosphatase and how relevant is for cyanobacteria in P-depleted regions. Thank to the other coauthors Andrew Murphy @RichardPuxty1 @Chen_group @IanDEALidbury @milja001 & D.Scanlan

@jmgarciafnandez @CyanoNey Thank you very much Jose Manuel!!

[Alberto Torcello @Sechyss]

New paper with one of the experiments I did for my thesis is finally out!! Have a look at how phages can adapt to P-stress without P-stress genes. Great work by @CyanoNey and other great collaborators.

[Vivek Mutalik @vivek_mutalik]

We are looking for postdoc researchers to study diverse aspects of phage-host interactions. If you are interested in any of these 👇🏼studies, please send me a dm or email me.

[Alberto Torcello @Sechyss]

Almost a year after I submitted my thesis, but finally I was able to celebrate my PhD graduation attending such a beautiful ceremony 🎓

[Alberto Torcello @Sechyss]

We'll miss you Richard!

[Richard GUILLONNEAU @RGuillonneau]

Looking forward to this new challenge / position at the beginning of next academic year as an assistant professor at Nantes university! 😃

[UCO-BRSeminars @UCOBRSeminars]

🟢 Folks‼️ This Friday we have seminar 🔆 We are so happy to have @JCO_lab with us to talk about marine cyanobacteria and how they avoid sinking! Join us at 12.30 and then happy hour 🍻 ‼️@Cyanotrans @TinaDomnguez @esanzluque @SaraZaldivarVet

[Yin Chen @Chen_group]

thanks to @ERC_Research @NERCscience @CENTA_NERC @EPSRC for funding and wonderful collaborators @IanDEALidbury @aguilo_mar @Moose_inc @Sechyss @eleonora_s17 and many others who are not on the twittersphere.

Super excited to share this work by @LM_Westermann If you've ever wondered what happens to phospholipids from dead cells in the sea, plz read our article. Oceans are amazing- full of wonderful new things every time we've dived into. https://t.co/woJFl1P3g7

@RichardPuxty1 talking about phages and ecology, what else you need me to say? Highly recommended!

Our @PhageFiles podcast is finally here! Tune in on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Deezer and Amazon Music to listen to our first episodes about phages.

Thank you @Ellie__Jameson for our beautiful phage mini versions.

Stay tuned!

to help respond to a comment. If there was a UK biobank of 1000s of phages that were genome sequenced and characterised phenotypically(host range/virulence index etc). Would deposit or request phages from such a resource.
