🧵 1/2

Today, Professor Donal Wall, @uofglasgow.bsky.social attended a pitch session as part of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee's 'Under the Microscope' inquiry to explain why they should be interested in microbiomes.

It was a privilege to speak to SITC today about research, innovation and translation in microbiome science in the UK, both now and aspirations for the future. This has been very much a team effort to get to this point so thanks to all involved! @uofglasgow.bsky.social @uofgmvls.bsky.social

!!*RECRUITING*!!
We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD student @cruk-si.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social! This exciting fully funded project aims to unravel metabolic determinants of cachexia. Fancy some great teamwork with the labs of Owen Sansom and Campbell Roxburgh? Apply below!👇

For those of you who approached me at @microbiologysociety.org #Microbio25 (and anyone else interested!!), this is your last chance to apply for our PDRA position. Come join us in Glasgow!

Great time at #MicroBio25 with the University of Glasgow crew….. such a happy bunch doing awesome science!

We have extended the deadline for this! If you are passionate about phage-bacteria interactions, check this out and join us!

New mechanism of gene transfer! With @tcostalab.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social, we discovered that cf-PICIs form tail-less elements that, once released, spread among different bacterial species by hijacking tails from various phages. More exciting news soon! shorturl.at/kRJqE

🚨 New pre-print out! 🚨

The world’s first fully 3D printed microscope!

Is Santa bringing you a 3D printer for Christmas, or maybe you need a gift for your favourite microscopist - print the lenses, print the frame, and start imaging! ✨🔬
