Starting the afternoon session with a fun, interactive talk from @kateduncan.bsky.social exploring the chemical language of microbes🦠
Just over a week left to apply for this #PhD #studentship on S-layers and #AMR!
Please share and if you want to know more, get in touch!
Now online. Great collaboration with the Tidow lab @seegerlab and the @embl SAXS beamline.
