In this week’s seminar we heard from Erika Hansson who shared work on the evolution of endosymbiosis 🔬 and our lab reps shared an update on our laboratory sustainability efforts, including a quiz on lab recyclables! 🧪♻️ Thank you to @microbesng.bsky.social for the fantastic snacks!

My first bluesky post has to be the obligatory selfie with the amazing @microbesng.bsky.social art at the @microbiologysociety.org conference!

Two great talks from last week's seminar by Emma Wright: Mutation rates depend on the presence and density of cohabiting species, and Matt Thomas: The elements of mobile elements in microbiomes. Thanks to @microbesng.bsky.social for sponsoring refreshments at our seminars.

Last week's seminar featured excellent talks from @fionapoulter.bsky.social on understanding the evolution of epidemic Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Holly Richardson on why heterogeneity matters: predicting antibiotic resistance in cystic fibrosis. Thanks to @microbesng.bsky.social for the nice snacks!

Two fantastic talks in our latest seminar: Kirsten Lim told us about her work on the effects of IgA on gut phage diversity, and Jeremy Dejardin shared his work mapping chromosome-plasmid interactions in E. coli Thanks to @microbesng.bsky.social for the best seminar snacks!

In today’s seminar we heard about Lambda phage Q proteins and their role in gene expression from Xuan Chen 🧬 A huge thank you as always to @microbesng.bsky.social for the fantastic snacks! 🧁

Last week's seminar featured talks by Hannah on the culture enrichment of cystic fibrosis sputum samples and by Edoardo on the spatial and temporal tracking of antifungal resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus hyphal networks. Cheers to @microbesng.bsky.social for their usual surprise snacks

Day 3 of #AMGDMar26 🧬 learning about alignments through song lyrics, loops starting to make sense, a trip the market in the sunshine & shiny microbe stickers thanks to @helenmcneil.bsky.social @microbesng.bsky.social 🧫

We had an exciting talk at today's seminar, first on Polymicrobial interactions in Cystic Fibrosis @ambercutcliffe.bsky.social, and Coalescence in host spring microbial communities @magdalenakurteu.bsky.social. Thanks to @microbesng.bsky.social for the snack!

We are excited to be at @ox.ac.uk today for the IDEU Symposium 2026 Would you like to know more about Microbial Sequencing? Come and chat to us in the break Big thanks to Angela Brueggemann for inviting us! microbesng.com #MicrobialGenomics #MicroSky @oxpop.bsky.social

We had two interesting talks at today's seminar: Eric spoke about the multistep pharmacodynamics of multimodal antibiotics, and @laurasanrub.bsky.social spoke about the long-term evolution experiment in defenseless PA01. Again, huge thanks to @microbesng.bsky.social for the snacks.

Today's seminar featured one of MERMan's PIs, @sarafederici.bsky.social, who discussed how phage therapy could be improved to target gut pathobionts in IBD. Thanks to @microbesng.bsky.social for the snacks.
