The view from my new workplace :) Can't possibly be happier to be working on phage satellites with @jmouradesousa.bsky.social@epcrocha.bsky.social and the team!

Throughout this time I've also been very lucky to meet fantastic friends and colleagues that made everything so much better🧡 An important chapter of my life and career comes to an end - now I'm ready and excited for the next!

Thank you to my PhD supervisor Edze Westra for everything - it has been great working with you! I'll always keep treasure of what I learnt from you and your team over these years!

My official PhD graduation last month was the closing step of an incredible journey, marking the end of my time in Cornwall!

We have another position advertised 😃 with @taylorlabgroup.bsky.socialwww.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy... Applications close on 9th September.

New paper looking at the spread of CRISPR-Cas in bacterial populations. Congratulations to @josie-e.bsky.social on her first, first author paper 🎉! Check out her brilliant thread below. Happy to see this work out in the wild.

Excited to share my 1st paper with @bridgetwatson.bsky.social @taylorlabgroup.bsky.social Edze Westra Sylvain Gandon & David McLeod academic.oup.com/ismej/articl... where we ask “when would using a defence system (CRISPR-Cas) be selectively advantageous over mutations that block phage binding?”1/10

Conditions for the spread of CRISPR-Cas immune systems into bacterial populations

Abstract. Bacteria contain a wide variety of innate and adaptive immune systems which provide protection to the host against invading genetic material, inc
