Psyched to share our new paper highlighting the main findings from my PhD now published in Nature Communications We identified a novel L-arabinose transporter and demonstrate the role of the sugar in fine-tuning virulence of Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli 🦠🤩 nature.com/articles/s4146…

We have an exciting PhD studentship opportunity with Emily Noël looking at heart infections in zebrafish. Please spread the word to any interested students! Closing date for applications is the 26th June. findaphd.com/phds/project/g…

PhD studentship available in my lab on the BBSRC NLD DTP for Oct 24 entry! findaphd.com/phds/project/b… . Amazing project using genomics and cool new microscopes to investigate how gene regulation works. Suitable for a wide range of backgrounds - biology, biomed, physics.

Ever wondered how to do my PhD? Here’s how! Enjoyed writing this with Foster Lab , hopefully there’s some useful info for anyone interested 🦓 🐟 And nice to see my first first author publication 🥳

You’ll need to bring photo ID to vote in person in the general election tomorrow. ✔️ It must be the original form. ❌ Copies or photos of the ID on your phone will not be accepted. See the full list of accepted ID here: electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-ele… #GeneralElection2024

Would you like to join our community of talented PhD Interns? We've just extended the deadline for applications 🎉 We have 17 placements available, spanning an exciting mix of departments. Application deadline: 12/08/24 Further details here: rigb.org/about-us/work-…

This isnt going where you think it is. 🧵 One of the most annoying things about children is that they want you to stop what you're doing every 0.7 seconds to watch them attempt what I think is supposed to be a cartwheel, or show you how good they are at standing on one leg.

Register now for this new ⁦Microbiology Society⁩ organised online symposium focused on “innovative in vitro infection models”. Fantastic line up of speakers and super accessible on-lime format. Should be a great session, so get involved! Please RT microbiologysociety.org/event/society-…

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

I've been asked what my favourite commentary is on the budget and it's unquestionably this exchange.

I am very excited to announce our latest work on how MRSA conquers antibiotics. In this work, we showed that high-level resistance to methicillin requires S. aureus to use a distinct form of cell division to ensure its survival. Sheffield AFM Group Foster Lab science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
