BBSRC Fellowships 2025 Triage Outcome Decisions were today. 277 applications, 42 put through to peer review and interview. A fellow I was supporting didn't get selected and BBSRC now offer *no feedback*.
Months of work and not a single iota of feedback for the applicant. Honestly, disgraceful.

I have an MRC-funded PhD project available (www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...) on how warming will change the problem of AMR. Join a small and friendly group (padpadpadpad.netlify.app/about) in (sometimes) sunny Cornwall. 🧪🦠 #microsky

Eco-evolutionary robustness of wild bacterial communities to experimental perturbation

@guidopuccetti.bsky.social, Gabriel Scalliet and I are excited to share our latest work.

Resistance in agriculture emerges fast, but we fail to grasp how the myriad mutations in pathogen populations contribute to this.

Please check out and share our latest preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New phage publication! 🦠 Phage resistance increased host density instead of imposing costs (the more common consequence)! This effect then had impacts on the structure of a three-species microbial community. @padpadpadpad.bsky.social, Rai Lewis & Angus Buckling. doi.org/10.1093/fems...
