Check out poster B286 #microbio2025 by @hannahvpye.bsky.social who is presenting the BronchoPhage study in which we are developing a phage-based therapy for bronchiectasis.
Hannah also gave a great flash talk!

Well done to all authors! Thank you for your engagement and effort. This makes me feel proud to be a member of the @microbiologysociety.org

Adding the abstract and keywords for emphasis
#EDI #DEI
Abstract: Scientific meetings and conferences are crucial in knowledge dissemination, fostering collaborations, professional development and inspiring innovative research. However, their traditional structure and organization have remained largely unchanged, perpetuating barriers that continue to exclude scientists from historically marginalized backgrounds. In response, the Microbiology Society has begun its journey to address these longstanding challenges, redesigning its meetings to create a more inclusive culture and a welcoming environment for all participants. Keywords: accessibility, conferences, DEI, diversity, EDI, equality, equity, inclusivity, marginalized scientists, Microbiology Society, scientific meetings

We also had Xena present her work on Ruminococcus gnavus prophages today. Watch this space for the prophage discovery pipeline she developed!

I had a great time visiting Groningen and the UMCG to discuss human viromes! On my way back to Norwich now.
