Doing a stats module in my Honours year was my least favourite part of the year but it comes in incredibly helpful about once a month!

It was wonderful today to have the opportunity to speak to such a knowledgeable audience and to get helpful suggestions and ideas. Looking forward to the rest of this great conference #Microbio24
Excellent talk by @JessicaLewisMic at #Microbio24 today. Is there a hero out there that can help with her strange multi contig phage genome?!

Just making some last minutes edits on my presentation for @MicrobioSoc that saved fine yesterday, and my laptop has decided it no longer likes my USB and the updated version won’t save properly. Think I’ve fixed it, but guess we’ll find out on Monday! 🤞

Little snapshot of the work I will be presenting this coming Monday at the Microbiology Society Annual Conference. Looking forward to discussing my weird and wonderful phage!
Check out our latest press release detailing research from @JessicaLewisMic from @WarwickLifeSci She's found a rare phage that has promising applications. You can listen to her presentation at our Annual Conference on Monday 8 April at 16:00. microb.io/3PIHaxe

Very exciting day at Warwick - Open Day! It’s been great chatting with many interesting prospective students today. I think I’ve made more parents want a second career as microbiologists, but thankfully we have three years to make the students love bacteria too! 🧫
