@MicrobioSoc An excellent obituary for a wonderful man. I have so many happy memories of spending time with Alan. His storytelling and sense of humour were fantastic, and his mentoring second to none.

Many congrats @EmmanuelKuffo15 on getting this out. Huge amount of work. If phage and bacteria did what we expected it’d be boring! Right? #phage #microbiology
The original plan was to isolate >50 phage-host combos (I naively thought this would be the straightforward bit of the project—it wasn’t). Eventually we got 2 phages tripling the number of genome-sequenced, in vitro characterised Strep. suis phages! Read about Bonnie & Clyde👇🏿
