I could not be more grateful for having such lovely examiners in @jpjhall and @ZaminIqbal and moreover the best lab group ever with the @TaylorLabGroup. 4 years has fully converted me to a die hard phage lover 🦠🧬👩‍🔬

Hooray 🎉 @Ellijos, who passed her PhD viva with flying colours. Many thanks to examiners @jpjhall & @ZaminIqbal. Josie was cosupervised by @edzewestra, & will soon start her postdoc with @Anne_Chev. I'm so sad to see her go, but excited to see what's next. Go get 'em Dr Elliott

Excited to share my 1st paper along with @drbridgetwatson @TaylorLabGroup @edzewestra Sylvain Gandon and David McLeod academic.oup.com/ismej/artic… where we asked “when would using a defence system (CRISPR-Cas) be selectively advantageous over mutations that block phage binding?” 1/10

Conditions for the spread of CRISPR-Cas immune systems into bacterial populations

Abstract. Bacteria contain a wide variety of innate and adaptive immune systems which provide protection to the host against invading genetic material, inc

However, without imposing extra costs for mutating the phage receptor, and against a single, lytic phage, we see that something as simple as the difference in the frequencies of phage resistant cells can predict selection for a CRISPR-Cas system. 10/10

It's been a huge learning curve to take this paper from abstract discussion, through many revisions, to a real publication out in the world, and I can’t thank my colleagues – both those on this paper and many others not – enough for all the support and help during this process!

For anyone in Montreal at #Evol2024 come say hi at my poster on what happens if a humble bacterial cell horizontally acquires itself a nice shiny new CRISPR-cas system. Today's poster session I1.

Thank you to @MicrobioSoc for letting me present a flash talk on my PhD work. If five minutes of me talking about campy evolution wasn’t enough I’ll be at poster a020

Thank you for getting the action shot of my poster presentation Tiff 😂

Huge congratulations 🎉 to @Ellijos for her "most creative poster" win at this year's @lifesciencebath Research Day. Well done to @PGBioBath for putting on such a brilliant event. You all deserve a well earned rest this weekend!
