Would you like to come and work with us building tools to help resolve the thorny issue of microbial classification? If you would, we have a post available: strathvacancies.engageats.co…

Chip barm.
Let’s settle the debate once and for all. What do you call this?

It was fantastic to be involved in this meeting - I think we found a lot of common ground to move forward together with recommendations around microbial nomenclature. Many thanks to the organising team, especially @fragilismatters for driving everything!
Extremely valuable getting together clinical microbiologists, taxonomists and all sorts of other researchers to build consensus on questions of bacterial nomenclature at @MicrobioSoc #FitForPurpose2023 in Strathclyde #IJSEM

We're incredibly proud of Emma (who wisely is not on Twitter) and her work on this with us and @traceygloster - her first published paper! Do you need a tool to obtain, collate and process carbohydrate active enzyme data? You might like cazy_webscraper!
Another PhD student first paper! Emma's supervised by me and @TraceyGloster and has written a tool to facilitate her - and others' - research on carbohydrate-active enzymes, and the publication came out officially this week 1/ microbiologyresearch.org/con…

Call me a snowflake, but the thing I really, really don't want to hear from the person wielding the drill and pliers is 'I'm not actually a dentist, as such, but ...'
Rishi Sunak, "One example of reform is in dentistry, where we can have people who are not dentists, like therapists, will do more dental work."

Many congratulations @JuliannaPiat on your successful viva defence, today! (primarily supervised by @gailmpreston but also a one of us in @scompbiol). We're all proud of you!
