I finally got round to publishing the R code for my @femsmicro.org publication, academic.oup.com/femsec/artic..., on my GitHub profile: github.com/paddyhooper/...
For fans of reproducibility, open science, and scrappy coding! 💻

A great read, and something I can really get behind in progressing environmental DNA research in protistology !
Check out our new paper on adopting a trait-based framework for protist diversity! We make the case for a unified protist trait database, how to build it, and how it could transform research on protist ecology and evolution.

Hello there 🦋
Happy to share our piece "Towards a trait-based framework for protist ecology and evolution" in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social
Let's build a unified trait 📏 database to unlock transformative insights into protist 🔬 ecology 🌍 and evolution ⏳

How do microbes become permanent partners? 🌊🔬🦠 Check out our new study published in Current Biology showing how cyanobacterial genomes evolve step-by-step into endosymbionts of diatoms. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Final year PhD students, I know you’re desperately trying to finish experiments/revisions/submissions/write a thesis & just survive - but please spare a few minutes to apply to your dream postdoc labs.
It easily takes A YEAR from first contact, even if everything goes to plan on both sides.

New paper is out! We have studied the cute tiny Discocelia plataet sp. n. to obtain the first molecular data of the order Discocelida and clarify its cell structure. All this for a better understanding of the evolution of Cercozoa.

My postdoc has come to an end. We achieved a lot in 3 months! 🧬
- Detection of the disease agent infecting Chayote
- Validation meeting with local stakeholders
- Presented an online seminar on eDNA to >250 postgrads in the 🇵🇭
🌱 I am now looking for new opps in environmental microbiology research! 🌱

My current postdoc at @nhm-london.bsky.social is ending this month!
I'd love to discuss any postdoc opportunities in environmental microbiology / microbial ecology / protists / eDNA ! 🦠🧬🔬
Highly experienced in fieldwork (often in bad weather), molecular, Illumina / ONT sequencing, bioinformatics

Great to be back in Bath for my PhD graduation! 🎓
@uniofbathnews.bsky.social has been a fantastic place to grow as a researcher - from my undergrad studies to my PhD with
@nhm-london.bsky.social.
Special thanks to supervisors @edfeil.bsky.social, Anne Jungblut, David Bass, and Warwick Vincent!
