Shout out to University of Birmingham folk:

A science-themed play that I co-wrote is coming to you at the Midlands Art Centre on the 17th. A lab-night out? See you there! 🤞

I'm very pleased to share with you a revised paper that presents a consolidated dataset of 8,185 wastewater catchment areas in Great Britain - something that was missing and extremely helpful for Wastewater Based Epidemiology (and other purposes).

A UK business strategy in a natural environment research council strategy document doesn't feel right.

My version "Do the research that improves the environment and makes it, and humans, more resilient and sustainable."

If needed add: "...especially when it can support economic growth."

Just to say, that’s a photo from over 15 years ago when I was just a toddler…I’m an old balding grey haired guy now…it’s been quite the 15 years! Lol

Fascinating to see this play out…

Our recent paper challenges Environmental AMR researchers to modify our language as it constrains our science & impacts our ability to solve the problems that need fixing.

Key paragraphs are noted below, but the full paper is accessible here - enjoy! www.nature.com/articles/s44...

There are those rare papers that come out that represent a clear line in the sand - time before and after the paper - here's one of those papers!

Life as a biological researcher will not be the same again.

Just another day of sewage accumulating in the trees upstream of Oxford’s Bathing Water in Wolvercote—on the River Thames.

Why should someone need to log into a journal website to accept or decline a request to review a manuscript?

I had to click on no fewer than five different buttons to simply reply to a journal request to review.

@elsevierconnect.bsky.social Make it one click - yes or no.

This has been the state of the Wolvercote Mill stream, upstream of Oxford’s designated bathing water site on the River Thames, for the last few days!

Sewage!

“The rate of discovery of new phyla has slowed down…suggesting microbial ecologists are reaching a level of saturation in our exploration of microbial diversity “

Amazing! When I started my career the tree of life was from Carl Woese and had VERY few branches
