Fantastic to see this out, a comprehensive overview of enteric fever over 20 years and a fascinating insight into carriage in the 21st century 👀 Congratulations on your first ever and first-author paper @nisbetalice.bsky.social!

✨️ Milestone complete! ✨️ I'm so excited to share my 1st ever paper with world! In collaboration with @ukhsa.bsky.social, we explored the #genomic #epidemiology of enteric fever in England & Wales from 2004-2023 🦠 with a focus on bacterial carriers within the population. Check it out in @plos.org NTD!

Well it's 100% official now! #IAmABiologist! So delighted I was chosen by the @biochemsoc.bsky.social to have myself & my work with the @langridgelab.bsky.social @quadraminstitute.bsky.social be showcased Biology Week #IAmABiologist campaign! keep eyes peeled for #WhatIsAScientist? updates soon🤞

"All living things have DNA in their cells- a set of instructions that tells each cell what to do. Bacteria can shuffle these instructions to help them survive new stresses and environments. I study the order of these DNA instructions in disease- causing bacteria to understand whether it affects how long they can persist in humans and how well antibiotic treatments work."

It's been wonderful to see all the lovely comments & discussions around our article about the Importance of Diversity & Representation in Science, in npj Antimicrobials & Resistance @springernature.com. Thanks everyone for sharing I'm looking forward to seeing the next paper come out hopefully soon

"My project at UKHSA focused on a microbe outside of my PhD research called Salmonella. This included looking at clusters of Salmonella cases observed by UKHSA, quantifying which subgroups of Salmonella were responsible, alongside assessing travel associations across the dataset.”
