Great work and interesting points on beneficial systems but also biofilms hard to eradicate and remain major sources of foodborne outbreaks. Understanding these risks is key for food safety.

Our paper “Biofilms: from the cradle of life to life support” is published in @Nature_NPJ Biofilms&Microbiomes. A great example of how bioinformatics and microbiology come together to study biology. Glad to be part of such a strong multidisciplinary team. rdcu.be/e0esg

Fantastic outputs presented by Muireann O’Connor of our SATLE-funded project at the UCD Teaching & Learning Symposium 2025. We demonstrated how games and digital tools can empower students and staff to engage with academic integrity in creative ways. #SATLE #FairGame

Have you ever wished to sequence SPECIFIC bacteria but NOT the vast background in #microbiome? Today, we introduce *mEnrich-seq*: #methylation-guided enrichment sequencing of bacterial taxa of interest from microbiome. 4yr project led by @clannabel7! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…🧵1/10
