Absolutely thrilled to say that I passed my viva yesterday 🎉 it was a really great discussion and I’m just so thankful to everyone who has helped me get to this point 🌟 including
@jrpenades
@quiles_nuria
of course!
Delighted to share that I have been shortlisted for the Sir Howard Dalton Young Microbiologist of the Year competition following my talk in Belfast earlier this year 🤗 really looking forward to the event!

@UofG_micro
@CMBI_Imperial
Today I will be giving my first ever talk at
#Microbio22
🎉 if you’re interested in hearing about the lysis-lysogeny decision in Bacillus prophages, catch me at 12.15 in the Genetics and Genomics forum, Meeting Room 1 🤗

Aaaaaaaaand submission complete 🥳🥳🥳 what a crazy 4(ish) years it has been. Enjoyed the company of my pals dog on submission day, followed by a pint of G of course 👌

Delighted to share our latest on the arbitrium system! Another step closer to understanding the mechanism behind the lysis-lysogeny system in these complex phages 🧬 thanks to all the co-authors involved in this work!
Happy Friday 🥳 our paper is out in
@CurrentBiology
! Thrilled to show here how the arbitrium system in the SPBeta group of

plays a key role in the induction of resident prophages in B. subtilis

Kicking off
#Microbio23
early! Happy to help out as a champion today and see things coming together behind the scenes. I have a new found appreciation for all the work that goes into these events 👏 bring on tomorrow!!!
@MicrobioSoc
Amazing week at
#Microbio22
🌟 thoroughly enjoyed my first in-person conference! Presenting my work was fantastic but I must say my favourite part was getting to meet so many great people, many of which I know from Twitter 🤩 hopefully see all of you again soon 🤞
About to start my rather long journey across the pond 🇺🇸 so excited to be joining
@monack_lab
for the month to learn some cool new genetics techniques with the help of
@BenjaminXWang1
🤩
Delighted (and v nervous) that my abstract has been selected for an oral presentation at
#Microbio22
🥳 my first in-person conference of my PhD!
@MicrobioSoc
The finalists for Sir Howard Dalton Young Microbiologist of the Year Prize, shortlisted from
#Microbio22
will be presenting their research at the Society Showcase on 5 October. Meet our finalist
@AislingBrady95
from

How does one manage to accumulate so much stuff in a year? Starting my packing for the move back to 🏴 this week. Can’t believe how fast time has gone 😱
And it’s goodbye to Valencia! What a wonderful trip 🤩 a huge thank you to our collaborators and hosts from
@AlbertoMarina14
’s group. So great to finally meet in person and discuss exciting science together! 🧬
So last week marked the end of Holly’s time with us in the lab this summer! Here we are after she presented her 8 weeks of work (fantastically) in our weekly lab meeting 🌟 I felt immensely proud watching Holly’s confidence and independence grow in the lab over the weeks 🥹
22K 🥳 six months ago I struggled with 5Ks and youd never catch me out in bad weather. Yesterday I ran my longest run in the pissing rain and I'm proud 🏃♀️🌧
The
#MicrobioShowcase22
has now been changed to an online event. Although I'll be sad not to attend in-person, it is now open for all
@MicrobioSoc
members to attend! 🤗
The
#MicrobioShowcase22
, featuring the Sir Howard Dalton Young Microbiologist of the Year finalists, is now taking place as an online event. All members are welcome to join and registration is free. Learn more on our website:
So many great talks this afternoon for the
#MicrobioShowcase22
the variety of microbiology topics was so refreshing 👏 big thanks to
@MicrobioSoc
for the opportunity to take part! 🌟
I’ll also be swapping this coffee for a glass of wine later while I present my poster at the secret life of mobile genetic elements session (P215 ‼️) 6.30 - 7.30 pm. Feel free to come say hey and chat about Bacillus phages ☺️
I might not be in 🏴 for my Easter visit (thanks COVID) but since I’m negative now, I am enjoying some sunshine by the river with a wee cocktail and a book 🌞
Had a fantastic time at
#FEMS2019
, my first conference. Thankful for the opportunity to volunteer and attend some amazing talks, and hopefully next time I'll be presenting some of my own research!

@CMBI_Imperial
🤩 proud to be doing research here alongside some amazing female scientists 👩🔬
New Preprint from the lab: how do phage tails polymerize? We used this monstrosity of a tail (nearly 1µm long!) from the thermophilic phage P74-26 to get some answers.

Made my

and I think it's a pretty accurate representation. I mean except for the fact that I'm not actually a phage...
@rooneyw1991
I reckon you'd enjoy having a go at it
@BioRender
And finally I think it is quite fitting on
#PostdocAppreciationWeek
that I thank
@quiles_nuria
. It has been great to work on this project with you from the very beginning and who knows what more will come! 8/8
We’ve been having great fun this half term with the team from
@CMBI_Imperial
.
Halloween Half Term has involved lots of fun learning around microbe and bugs.
🎃🕸👻🕷
Buzzing for the next step! I’ll be joining
@jay_salsa
and his group in
@LivUni
for a post-doc. Can’t wait to get back into the lab and working on something new 🤩
And now hearing from
@quiles_nuria
. If you're at
#FEMS2019
go visit her poster (PM393❕❕) and discuss how important lateral transduction is for mobilising the bacterial genome
