Beyond proud of my three PhD students at the School postgrad research symposium this week - they smashed their talks and poster presentations! 😍 Can't wait to see their papers come out (watch this space! 👀) @microclaire.bsky.social
Had a great day @molmicrosheffield.bsky.social giving a seminar and talking all things bacteria with @iandealidbury.bsky.social @laia-pasquina.bsky.social @claireyt.bsky.social and others. And I got to meet the "other" JK Hobbs! 😍 Thanks for the invitation, Simon!
When you give the students free rein to design the new lab poster 😍😆🐎
Super exciting news 🚨 I am hiring a technician to join my brand new lab at the University of Birmingham! @imibirmingham.bsky.social Come and support my BBSRC-funded research on understanding how staphylococci survive antibiotics. Please share! 🧫🧪 www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DRH271/a...

Another great #MicroSoc26! Sophie and Shenali are still at their posters for another 30 mins if you want to talk tolerance!
Does anyone in the UK have a conjugative enterococcal resistance plasmid (e.g. pCF10) that they'd be willing to share? I'm finding it impossible to find one! (Next step is to try US folks, but that will require an import permit). Thanks!
Heading home from another great @bsacandjac.bsky.social #AntibioticResistance & Mechanisms Workshop! @microclaire.bsky.social And Sophie is bringing home a 1st place poster prize 🏆😍

Such a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon! 🏎️ 🏆 Ashley (aka Daniella Ricardo) was victorious, with Claire a close second. What should we do for our next lab outing?!
It's out! The final peer-reviewed version of our paper about Prs-mediated tolerance in S. aureus COL is now published in Molecular Microbiology. Read it here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
If any finishing-up PhD students or post-docs are interested in antibiotic tolerance and writing a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship together this summer, please get in touch!
📣 The Journal of Medical Microbiology is looking for Editors for the Antimicrobial Resistance section! No prior editor experience required, so it's a great first gig for an ECR. And you get subsidised attendance at the annual meeting. Open to applicants worldwide 🌍 @microbiologysociety.org
Made it to Heidelberg! Excited for 4 days of talks - never seen so many talks on tolerance at one meeting! #EESDrugresistance @events.embl.org
