🚨 The Whelan lab is hiring! 🚨 We're looking for a Research Assistant to join our lab at U of Manchester. We're seeking someone with experience in microbiology & microbiome to support our growing group. Note this isn't a postdoc role (though keep 👀 for those announcements soon!) #Microsky 🧪 🧬 💻

Research Assistant - Impact Of Microbe-Pathogen Interactions On The Health Of Individuals With Cystic Fibrosis:Oxford Road

🆕 I’m looking for a postdoc to join the group! This is for a project as part of the @multidefence.bsky.socialmy.corehr.com/pls/ulivrecr...

#SMBE2024@mermanchester.bsky.social visits teotihuacan, feeling very lucky to be in Mexico).

Jet lag has mostly worn off now - very pleased to be in the beautiful Puerto Vallarta for #SMBE24. Excited to be speaking in the one-health and microbial evolution session tommorrow, on the within-patient evolution of antimicrobial resistance!

We had a great time at the Community Festival this weekend! It was amazing to chat with so many people about all things microbial and see the wonderful creations on our Make Your Own Bacteria stand!

It’s a depressingly familiar story: students are missing lectures and tutorials due to paid work, poor mental health, and lack of motivation. Their grades suffer, perpetuating the cycle. How as educators can we do better? #HigherEducation#academiawww.theguardian.com/education/ar...

‘I see little point’: UK university students on why attendance has plummeted

About half the students who got in touch skip lectures, with many ‘disappointed’ with the experience and others forced to prioritise paid work

Now @matthewjshepherd.bsky.social incredible study: >5000 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from clinical trial, patients treated with cipro for a year, all genome-sequenced. Multiple evolutionary trajectories towards resistance.

Please share: Funded PhD project on the ecology and evolution of antibiotic resistance 🦠🧬🫁 at Queen’s University Belfast. Application deadline: 21 June Please 📧 me with any questions, happy to chat! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Why do pangenomes vary so much across bacteria? 🦠🧬 We show that bacterial lifestyle is the key factor shaping variation in pangenome fluidity. Read more in our paper out now in PNAS: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...@lauriebelch.bsky.social@stuwest.bsky.social
