- Do you have a favourite part of day 1 @biochemsoc.bsky.social #BioPhyChrom2025. A particular talk? The poster session? Flashbacks of being a fresher? For myself, it was a friendly environment that facilitated open & lively discussions between experts from different disciplines👨🔬🧬👩🔬🦠 Let day 2 begin!
- What a great 1st session @biochemsoc.bsky.social #BioPhyChrom2025. A great mix of talks & discussion points from all speakers I am looking forward to sharing my work showing that genome structure variation can influence #virulence & #AMR. Come see me at poster 009

- A complete pleasure to have hosted @vslioy.bsky.social today @quadraminstitute.bsky.social! A great talk & discussions enjoyed by all explaining how chromatin remodelling & #Salmonella Pathogenicity Islands regulation go hand in hand. Next stop @biochemsoc.bsky.social's #BioPhyChrom2025 🌳🚆🫣🤞
- Ready for a week of thinking about DNA's 3rd dimension @biochemsoc.bsky.social's #BioPhyChrom2025. But 1st I'm excited to be hosting @i2bcparissaclay.bsky.social's @vslioy.bsky.social. I am sure her talk on Salmonella chromatin will bring exciting chats & opportunies to @quadraminstitute.bsky.social

This is an awesome book by the amazing person/comedian Suzi Ruffell discussing life's big Qs from "How do you know you're not f**cking up your kids? to Has #LGBTQIA+ equality been achieved?" currently only £1.49 on kindle
- Congrats everyone for making it through the 1st week after summer! I don't know about you guys but after 3 months packed with mini breaks I have found my "normal" 5 day working week tough! Think I am ready to tackle the last bit of this year... Remembering I'm doing it for these guys makes it easier

- Next up from our group at @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp is Claire Hill talking about a novel pipeline she has developed for analysis of Transposon Insertion Sequencing #TraDIS data which looks at the raw signal to gain information of essentiality in absence of a fully annotate genome! 🤩🧬

- Reposted by Emma WatersAnd finally at @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp our @nisbetalice.bsky.social is chairing the last session including the keynote from @pathogenomenick.bsky.social titled “Pathogen surveillance through #metagenomics: the next frontier?"

Amazing achievement for her 1st ever international talk. Keep an eye out for this publication coming soon, in collaboration with @ukhsa.bsky.social
- 3 years ago at #I3S I was happy to be introduced as a lady of #Salmonella & this time it's an honour to have my communication skills be recognised by this #scientific community. Thank you to the organising committee for awarding my lastest work on impact of genomic rearrangements a poster prize &...
- Coming up next at #I3S #I3Scongress is @nisbetalice.bsky.social showing a summary of 20 years of #typhoidal #Salmonella in England & Wales. She is excited to present here as she prepares this for publication and as this is her first international talk. We are hanging around if you have any Qs.

- What a great key note presentation from @mariechattaway.bsky.social looking at the evolution of #AMR in #Salmonella over the lifetime of #publichealth surveillance. If you enjoyed Marie's talk, then there are many posters featuring work from others @ukhsa.bsky.social's surveillance team here at #I3S
- Really pleased to be at #I3S in St. Malo again, this time with @gemma-langridge.bsky.social & @nisbetalice.bsky.social Looking forward to hearing all the #Salmonella research & sharing my latest work showing that genome structure variation can influence #virulence & #AMR.

Given recent global political shifts the world is currently a scarier place for the #LGBTQ+ community especially for trans, intersex & non-binary people who are having their identities erased & being exposed to increased hate
- 2 years ago @langridgelab.bsky.social adopted Emily to teach her #nanopore #sequencing. Since then I have had the pleasure of being her mentor. Its been a true 🎢 ride with today marking the end with her #viva. Good luck Emily, you are going to smash it 💪 #AcademicTwitter #academicChatter #PhDlife
