Very excited to get started on my project; OneAMR, which will use single-cell technology to improve the prediction of AMR direct from clinical samples @IMIBirmingham
New round of Future Leaders Fellowships announced: bit.ly/2m16WSb
Top researchers and innovators from across the country will receive a portion of a £78 million #UKRIFLF cash boost.
@Scalene from @unibirmingham is one of our fellows:

Only at #CINEMAParis, live @nanopore sequencing run of a zymo mock microbiome by @Scalene next to lighting talk session🔥
We will dive into bioinformatics methods for environmental and clinical microbiome analysis over the next few days !
(Ps. @Scalene said it was a good run!)

PM Day 3 of #imisummerschool2023: Dr Hung-Ji Tsai guided us through the potential reasons for the dinosaurs' demise (clue: recreational fungi were implicated), followed by Dr Josh Quick who took us on a whistle stop tour of Nanopore sequencing. @HJTsai @Scalene @UoBSchool
Last call for this PhD position on wastewater surveillance, closes Friday! findaphd.com/phds/project/pa…

We are very excited to have the very first P2 right here in Birmingham. Thanks to all at @nanopore for making it happen!
10M reads (N50 30.4kb) on the first run - just time to squeeze in some of our samples before #LC23

It is now clear beyond doubt that Musk is a buffoon, an imbecile, a moral derelict and a profound danger to global free speech inews.co.uk/opinion/elon-mus…

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.
Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

Antivaxxers witnessed the biggest, fastest mass vaccination program in history, saw that various widespread negative side effects they feared didn't happen at all, and instead of breathing an epic sigh of relief, decided to pretend those negative things actually happened.

On Tuesday, we celebrated the Applied Microbiology Awards 2022 - join us in congratulating the winners! Beginning with the Horizon Awards and WH Pierce Prize - Congratulations Joshua Quick on your win!
Thanks to all my amazing colleagues especially @StaphLab and Steve B for nominating me and @pathogenomenick @JessicaMABlair @alanmcn1 for making it a memorable night!
We are incredibly excited that @Scalene [@IMIBirmingham @UoBbiosciences @unibirmingham] has been awarded the W.H. Pierce Early Career Award from @AMIposts. Congratulations Josh!
