- Reposted by Laura Glendinning@microbes4ever.bsky.social and I are looking for a new PhD student to explore #antimicrobialresistance in Game Birds. Full funded, in collaboration with the @gwct.org.uk and interdisciplinary with a focus on stakeholder engagement & microbiology www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
- New PhD opportunity – Deadline 15th December! Antimicrobial use in UK game birds: its behavioural drivers and impact on resistance: www.findaphd.com/phds/project.... Interested? Please email me to discuss further. #PhD #EASTBIO #BBSRC #AMR #Microbiota #Microbiology
- New PhD project: Interested in host-microbiota interactions in infectious disease? "Decoding Lipid–Microbiome Crosstalk Controlling Respiratory Syncytial Virus-Exacerbated Asthma" - Dr Chengcan Yao (primary supervisor) Apply here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
- Great new paper from @alicebuckner.bsky.social, "The selective culture and enrichment of major rumen bacteria on three distinct anaerobic culture media": doi.org/10.1128/spec.... Congrats Alice!
- Reposted by Laura Glendinning🚨 An excellent opportunity for scientists in Africa, at all career stages, working on maternal & child microbiome research 🚨 📚 Blended learning (3 months) incl. prep modules, hands-on training (12-17 Apr 2026) & mentoring. coursesandconferences.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/event/human-...

Happy Friday!
- Very happy to announce that our new preprint is available on bioRxiv (doi.org/10.1101/2025... ). This study has been years in the making, and is the first to use metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics to understand fibre fermentation in the chicken gut.
- Thrilled that our new paper on the Red Grouse microbiota has now been published in BMC Microbiology: doi.org/10.1186/s128...! A really rewarding collaboration between our team and Nick Hesford and Kathy Fletcher from the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust @gwct.org.uk.

- Reposted by Laura GlendinningIRR Group Leader Chengcan Yao and colleagues have found that reducing the production or effect of fat-based hormones called prostaglandins, or boosting helpful gut bacteria, could help reduce bowel inflammation, especially in older adults.

- Our new preprint characterizing the red grouse microbiota for the first time using metagenomics: doi.org/10.1101/2025.... The red grouse microbiota is really interesting, as these birds rely on a very high fibre plant species (heather) for the majority of their diet. #microbiota
- PLEASE SHARE: An exciting Roslin Foundation PhD opportunity in my lab, studying the chicken gut microbiota (www.findaphd.com/phds/project...). Unlike many other schemes, equally open to international and national candidates.
