Thanks to @rachelmwheatley.bsky.social and @friendlymicrobe.bsky.social for the invite. Look out for lots of cool reviews coming up
Less than 2 weeks left to apply for this PhD position with me at the University of Reading! Perfect for anyone interested in the impact of bacterial ecology on disease in the microbiome!
Delighted to share that I have been awarded a Springboard award from @acmedsci.bsky.social! Excited to start investigating how E. coli uses different bacterial competition systems in the gut microbiome
What determines who wins in bacterial competition? We review how the environment can influence bacterial warfare! Hopefully interesting for anyone who likes Bacteriocins (my favorite), T6SS, or CDIs! portlandpress.com/essaysbioche...
Really excited to share a fully-funded PhD position in my lab at the University of Reading exploring how E. coli uses competition to survive in the microbiome. Perfect for anyone interested in using a mix of biochem and ecology to study pathogens. Deadline May 29th! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
Why do bacteria carry multiple similar weapons? Great to team up with @s-booth.bsky.social again, combining some very cool experimental work and bioinformatics to investigate why bacteria keep hold of seemingly redundant weapons.
Registration is open for the Biotic Control of Bacteria meeting, hosted by MGen Deputy Editor-in-Chief Dr Conor Meehan. Explore innovative approaches to controlling bacterial growth and network with leading researchers in the field.

🚨 New pre-print! 🚨 In the largest study of its kind to-date, we investigate the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving within-patient evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Read here:

Check out our pre-print led by the fantastic Massimo Amicone, collaborating with the Bollenbach lab! tinyurl.com/4h9p8mfb We build a simple intuition on how ecological interactions affect resistance evolution by expanding evolutionary rescue theory and testing it with two large sets of experiments
Abstract. Bacteria have evolved complex protein systems known as bacterial weapons to inhibit or kill their competitors. These bacterial weapons are a remarkably diverse arsenal that influence the com...
A gift of an article from the inimitable Colin Kleanthous as he says a moving farewell to his laboratory. A brave, unrepentant and scientifically brilliant journey is described - please have a read, friends.
