Had a great visit to KCL for my second Euro-BioImaging Node interview — and really nice to meet Andreas! The MIC renovation looks fantastic. Hope the interview shines a bit more light on all the brilliant technical work happening across the Nodes!

Microscopy most especially. To be the first human to ever lay eyes on something. What a feeling.
Really just had something like this feeling this afternoon. It’s the high that keeps you coming back for more

🧬 Amazing work by Summer Student, Mia Johnson at the University of Newcastle!

Great to see our funding from UKRI-BBSRC being put to such fantastic use!

The future of microbiology is in good hands - thanks Lee and Mia!
🧪 Lab life week 3! With my amazing PhD mentor Lee, we filtered, plated, and streaked bacteria to hunt for E. coli, Salmonella & Pseudomonas. DNA’s extracted & ready for sequencing next week—our ecosystem’s molecular profile is coming together! @royalmicrosoc.bsky.social @bioimaginguk.bsky.social
