Really inspiring visit to @salforduni.bsky.social last week. First stop was a meeting with VC Nic Beech and the brilliant new student union officers Akinwale, Sheba, Ali, Megan and Hina to hear about their plans to support student wellbeing from mental health to future careers #salforduni

Next stop was the lab to hear about the amazing research of Prof Chloe James and team on bacteriophages. Phages are all around us in nature but are a gamechanger in tackling dangerous bacteria resistant to antibiotics, so this is important to explore #KnockingOutAMR

Then we popped along to the Morson Maker Space—a 3D printing lab available for all @salforduni.bsky.social students and staff to use—what a fab resource. I was able to try out a 3D printed game showing how phage therapy works.

Last stop was the #microbialpuppetmasters VR simulation & showcase about making science accessible, showing how projects like the collaborative cf -trailfinder hub are looking at how phages can help treat Cystic Fibrosis lung infections and many other conditions #KnockingOutAMR
