So this happened! Peter Fineran and I are co-leading an ambitious #phage development platform for protecting our primary industries in New Zealand! We have an awesome team and ~ 9 million in MBIE funding! Can’t wait to get started! @UCNZbiology #NZLabLife

So happy to co-lead with Heather Hendrickson and an amazing team an MBIE Science programme to develop #phage solutions for primary industries. University of Otago University of Canterbury Microbiology and Immunology Otago

Organisms use a range of defense systems against #parasites. Using a #bacteria-#phage model system, Bridget Watson edze westra &co ask what drives the transient evolution of different systems; implications for #HostEcology & #pathogenicity #PLOSBiology plos.io/3LoFSoM

Our paper is out! (currently as an uncorrected proof) University of Exeter CEC Uni of Exeter's ESI

New publication (uncorrected proof for now) by Bridget Watson, @ElliePursey, Sylvain Gandon (CEFE-CNRS) and edze westra. 👉 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… University of Exeter, Cornwall University of Exeter CEC Research at Exeter

In collaboration with the Microbes & Society network, @wcceh is hosting #Antibiotic Stewardship on the Agricultural Commons on Wednesday 4 October. Chris Degeling will talk about governing antibiotic risks in beef and dairy farming in Australia. eventbrite.co.uk/e/antibiotic-s… #AMR

Fantastic time in Birmingham! Thanks to David Grainger and Tung Le for the organizing, looking forward to going to Norwich next year!
