And Tank Girl begins…

Academia feels like being a cold caller at the moment 😆 congratulations Jesse!

Have you registered for Genome Science yet? www.genomescience.org.uk Its going to be in mad for it Manchester September 14th-16th 2026. Lots of great microbial genomics and bioinformatics speakers so make sure you secure a place. Early bird registration ends on 31/7/26.

Are you going to Genome Science UK 2026 in Manchester 14th-16th September? We know life can get extra busy 😧 before the summer holidays 🏖️ so we've extended abstract submission deadline to 24th July & early bird registration deadline to 10th August 😁 Check out the agenda 🧬🧬 www.genomescience.org.uk

Sounds like we need a bigger conference

👀👇 New work on sexually transmitting Shigella (press-friendly: bit.ly/4bBarEL) From continued collaboration with @clairejenkins2.bsky.social @ukhsa.bsky.social, @pducambridge.bsky.social co-lead @hsalje.bsky.social, a talented student Julia Marshall www.linkedin.com/in/julia--ma..., and others! 🧫🧬💊

Can bacterial genomics bring 70 years of epidemiological surveillance back to life? We're hiring a postdoc (2–3 years) to explore the historical evolution of Salmonella Typhi using a unique genomic dataset. More details: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/449895

Congratulations to Aude Bernheim (@audeber.bsky.social), elected EMBO Member 2026 🎉 Her work on bacterial immunity is reshaping how we understand immune systems across all life forms — from bacteria to humans. @embo.org

I am very honoured to have had my work on disease emergence and pandemic preparedness highlighted together with the work of @ksbakes.bsky.social in this @cam.ac.uk Research Profile. Thank you to everyone who is making this research possible.

🧬 TARGetAMR’s Prof @ksbakes.bsky.social & @drtessjohnson.bsky.social feature in The Lancet Microbe podcast on AMR National Action Plans & microbial genomics. 🎧 The episode is available via The Lancet Microbe, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music. 👉 Listen: www.targetamr.org.uk/targetamr-le...

I know a lot of people on the fence about frontiers… hopefully this is all you need to come down

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

👉 Only 2 weeks to go for registrations to the famous ICARe course on #antimicrobials and #resistance in #Annecy, France: www.icarecourse.org Great course, great venue, great networking opportunity with @gdwantibiotics.bsky.social and other huge legends in the field

Today I'm posting a new blog about an astonishing scientific own goal. Hundreds of papers have reported using a totally wrong antibody to investigate the tumor suppressor p16. This mistake has happened because scientists have muddled the names of two proteins. forbetterscience.com/2026/06/02/m...

My latest science comic just dropped! A collaboration between me, @target-amr.bsky.social @ksbakes.bsky.social and Prof. Paul Flowers. Very cool bringing the story of antimicrobial resistance to life, with an interesting detour to Victorian epidemiology and the story of Cholera hunter John Snow!

and be sure to check out other work by the wonderful @edwardross.bsky.social

Our TARGet AMR genomics-comic is out now - check it out, share it, print it, use it in your lectures, PE events, or maybe even when trying to explain what you do to dinner guests! 🤓 🧬 🧫

I worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor for three years in my teens. This is spot on. Non-paywalled version gcaptain.com/drowning/
