Happy world phage day! #WorldPhageDay

Whoo its parcel day!

#microber2022 #inktober2022 Roots: as roots grow they provide a new environment that shapes the microbial community, and root exudates provide food for this community. Not forgetting the #phages which provide a vital role in shaping the function of the community. #SciArt

I will be speaking at this upcoming UCMercedHumanities session about my comic collaboration with Dr. Felicia Lopez and her research on interpreting Aztec glyphs. 7th Nov at 6pm UK time, anyone can join using the Zoom link or QR code below (also in alt text).

PhD Studentship available ‘Are some viruses alive?’ !!?!?

Probably not, but some would probably make a better PM than the recent bunch we’ve had. Come join us for some awesome research and bacon sandwich induced chaos.

#microber2022 #inktober2022 19 Ocean: every drop off water from the ocean is full of bacteriophages, ~250 million per ml! They outnumber bacterial cells 10:1. #SciArt #phage

#Microber2022 #inktober2022 18 Metal: metal ions such as calcium or magnesium chloride can be crucial to phage-host binding and hence reproduction. Forgetting the metal can lead to really disappointing results. #phage #SciArt

Leslie Molson Thank you for the retweet! I research the unseen majority (microbes, particularly bacteriophages). It is fantastic to be able to reach a new audience through art and make people aware of the beauty and ingenuity of these tiny microbes #Microber #inktober #LeslieMolsonOber

This is a great #PhD opportunity Quadram Institute, & a continuation of my project on the wonders of #Klebsiella , their #Phages & how the capsule impacts these interactions! Great supervisor Evelien Adriaenssens (she/her) & great team! #PhD Chat

#Microber2022 #inktober2022 Phase: crAssphage are lytic phages that infect bacteria in the human gut. They only infect at certain phases of their host’s growth, reproduce slowly, and stably persist alongside their hosts. bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Welcome to the Viruses of Microbes-UK (VoM-UK) twitter feed. This will support the annual VoM-UK meeting offering updates or information on the inaugural meeting on the 26th-27th Jan 2023 at Northumbria Uni.

#microber2022 #inktober2022 14 Community: understanding microbial communities through sequencing, effort is focused on bacteria and their functions. Viruses (inc phages), fungi, etc are overlooked, but #phage are vitally important in shaping communities and functions #SciArt
