I know I only recently started using R but now everything must be cornflower blue it brings me so much joy I don't even care what data goes in my next paper as long as it is cornflower blue

Half marathon & electrolytes (?😶‍🌫️)

I had a momentary lapse of judgement and enrolled in a A2 German course except I don't have A1 so I guess I have 2 weeks to learn A1 German

#GreenLab Pro-Tip: Weighing boats are convenient, but they are also plastic. Why not use weighing paper or weigh directly into your flask? It’s cheaper, faster, and greener. 📝#GreenChemistry

Super excited to share our new research published in PNAS, where we demonstrate that probiotic treatments could be more effective than antibiotics for decolonizing nasal pathobionts like Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae! 🦠 We developed a novel framework

Happy to share our new preprint! We used proteomics and targeted metabolomics to study how 𝘚. 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴 copes with inhibitory compounds secreted by 𝘗. 𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢. Great collaboration with FGCZ ! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My postdoc mentor Kevin Foster is hiring postdocs! Apply to join an exciting research group looking at ecology and evolution of the gut microbiome. Kevin is a fantastic mentor and I can completely recommend: fosterlab.uk/vacancies

I proudly present a new review paper of my group that just came out in Trends in Microbiology with Leonardo Oña and Shryli Shreekar Disentangling microbial interaction networks Open access link: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

This is not my cat. I suspected my cat brought her friends home when I'm not around but I did not realize they feel that comfortable there 😅

Another one :)

New preprint!📢Using a large longitudinal dataset of bacterial carriage we ask: (A) Does within-host competition between bacterial strains lower their epidemiological fitness? (B) Does this strain competition affect fitness of Ab-resistant bugs? Answer to both=yes! More details👇

Happy gotcha day ❤️ One year ago the shelter warned me he was terrified of people and may never let me pet him - still a scaredy cat, but the most lovable scaredy cat

New paper: long-term trends in antibiotic resistance show signs of stabilisation (thread). journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Thrilled to share the preprint from my main postdoc project with Simon Heilbronner and Controlling Microbes to Fight Infections ! 🎉 We found that tyrosine availability can shape Staphylococcus aureus colonization in the nose by mediating its interactions with commensal species 🦠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/6 🚀 Delighted to see our review out online in Nature Reviews Bioengineering: CRISPR–Cas therapies targeting bacteria. Read: doi.org/10.1038/s44222…

Another sunset run through Copenhagen, by the harbour — like so many times before

They made us swim, bike and run in 33°C weather. And by "they" I mean "I". And by "us" I mean the Gollum "us". I'm not willing to accept responsibility just yet, maybe in a couple days when I've cooled down.
