Opening the 36th Symposium of the Malaysian Society for Microbiology today! Two days of knowledge sharing and networking amongst Malaysian microbiologists. Great fun.

First keynote at #MSM2023 by Prof K. Sudesh (USM), sharing his 20-year journey on producing #PHAs to develop and commercialise biodegradable #plastics.

Dr Annie Tan (Uni Malaya) updating us at #MSM2023 on the latest developments in prokaryotic systematics. Here, she promotes #SeqCode as part of the next-gen nomenclatural code which uses DNA sequences (instead of just pure cultures) for naming new species.

Day 2 of #MSM2023 starts with Prof Adeeba Kamarulzaman on the lessons learned from #COVID19 and our preparedness as a country for the next pandemic.

A/Prof Crystal Lim (UCSI) highlighting the trends, challenges and innovations in #microbiology #education post-pandemic. Blending traditional and online/tech-based approaches in teaching is the way to go. #MSM2023

Success! #MSM2023 has ended on a high note. Awesome teamwork from the committee who pulled it all together for a rewarding symposium.

A while ago Hazlin Hazrin-Chong wrote to ask if we would teach a course at Monash Malaysia about stable isotope probing(SIP). As you prob know, I’m a huge advocate. We (Steve Blazewicz, Mike Allen & I) were excited to develop a SIP curriculum and get to visit Kuala Lumpur. A 🧵

Dr. Jennifer Pett-Ridge Karina Hernández García It's an incredible and rewarding experience!! Massive thanks to Jennifer, Steve and Mike for sharing your immense wealth of knowledge on DNA-SIP and science, and Genomics Platform Monash University Malaysia Hazlin Hazrin-Chong for organising the workshop! Excited to apply this technique in future projects

We successfully wrapped up our DNA-SIP workshop with experts from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory! Huge thanks to everyone who attended and contributed. Special thanks to our esteemed instructors for their invaluable expertise. #EnvironmentalScience #MicrobialEcology #Research #SIP #Workshop
