Really pleased to see this out, great interdisciplinary work between @PhysicsatYork @WangYueC @BiologyatYork and clinicians from York hospital growing bacteria on photonic biosensors!
Dr Yue Wang @PhysicsatYork @WangYueC is lead author on this newly released paper entitled "Attachment and antibiotic response of early-stage biofilms studied using resonant hyperspectral imaging". Collaborating with @BiologyatYork @YorkTeachingNHS doi.org/10.1038/s41522-020-0…

Somehow my photoshops have never made it onto twitter, needed to rectify that.

Why is @ONS using bar charts with upper and lower confidence limits for presenting Covid-19 information instead of violin plots with all the data points? It would show the spread of the data much more clearly.

Really pleased I had the opportunity to write this for Under the Lens! Two really interesting papers, one using mass spec imaging to look at metabolic interactions between the host and symbiont. The second uses 3D light sheet microscopy for imaging aspergillus infection in vivo
A clearer picture of microbial biogeography This month’s Under the Lens discusses recent advances in spatial metabolomics and light-sheet microscopy for imaging the biogeography of host–microbiota interactions. nature.com/articles/s41579-0…

Great talk from @TheCallumSilver about antibiotic functionalised surfaces at the bio-sensing technology conference in Malaysia!

Amazing #3MT competition this year! Great talks from everyone involved especially @RebeccaJHall13, much more enjoyable watching than performing! @YorkFestofIdeas

This is awesome - The Emperor of Japan, Akihito, still publishes (and as first author). Notice he has only one name (cause he is the Emperor) and his unique address. Awesome and cool scientist Emperor! #japan sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Solved a chemistry problem today with actual thought rather than blindly adding reagents and hoping. Feels like some progress has been made... #phdlife
