Did you know? Marine bacteria such as Vibrio fischeri can form bioluminescent biofilms. These bacteria can form symbiotic relationships with hosts like the Hawaiian bobtail squid, and the glow can help camouflage the squid from its prey!

Did you know? Not all biofilms are bad. Biofilms actually play important roles in wastewater treatment, bioremediation and even producing electricity in microbial fuel cells!

Last week I attended the ECR symposium on Microbial Genomics jointly organised by @microbesng.bsky.social, @norwichmicro.bsky.social and Get Genome.

I had the wonderful opportunity to present some of my PhD work @quadraminstitute.bsky.social

Had a great time last week @escmid.bsky.social #escmidglobal2025 where I also had the opportunity to present some of my PhD work @quadraminstitute.bsky.social funded by @ukri.org

Thank you to everyone who came to chat about my work! 😊🎉

Excited to be @escmid.bsky.social #escmidglobal2025 this week!

I'll be giving a talk on Tuesday morning about some of my PhD work @ukri.org @quadraminstitute.bsky.social on looking at the genes important for conjugation in bacteria 🧫

Please come chat about AMR, plasmids or biofilms with me 🎉

I had a lovely time at the @norwichmicro.bsky.social #CMINorwich25 conference last week.

I feel very lucky to be awarded the @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social people's choice runner up. Thank you to everyone who came to chat about my PhD #bbsrc and congratulations to all the other prize winners!

Super grateful to have had the opportunity to talk about some of my PhD work at the BSAC #ARMworkshops2024 yesterday! Thanks to everyone for the interest in my work - hopefully more exciting things to come from all this! 😊
