Have been giving a lot of thought to story-telling pedagogies recently. It was great to put some of this into action for #Pint25 @pintofscience.uk talk on Phage research and DNA sequencing, and then share my thoughts with the @microbiologysociety.org
Check out the blog article linked here:

Had a great time last night at the Pessimist Bar in Lincoln presenting my work on phage for @pintofscience.uk I really love public engagement with science events and thoroughly enjoyed talking phage, DNA, next-gen sequencing and AMR! Many thanks to all involved 🧬 #pint25 #Lincoln

Just finished reading this latest paper from my colleague Dr Nicola Chanamuto on the use of writing retreats in HE. Based on Nicola's guidance I've run a few of these over the past academic year and thoroughly enjoyed them. Highly recommended 👍 bpb-eu-w2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.lincol... #AcademicWriting
