Congratulations to @FedPastorelli on her successful viva Defense - my 7th student! Thanks also to her examiners Guy Hanke And John Rafferty

Sheffield #BioFest, was fab! Great to talk with so many folk about phages and hear their insights.Thanks to the Sheffield microbiologists for the company and delicious curry after. Snaps are of Luke Jerram's giant E coli and glass T4, so beautiful, do go and see them if you can!
Last night I watched @BylineTV documentary ‘The Truth about Brexit: Britain Betrayed Very different from other docs. It’s a must watch Heartbreaking personal stories & insightful commentary. I dare anyone to watch & not conclude Brexit betrayed us all youtu.be/HLF_ZkIpVrQ?si…
🚨Job Opportunity🚨🍃🌤️ We are looking for a new Postdoc to work on the @ERC_Research funded project "PhotoReDesign" which aims to enhance #photosynthesis using #syntheticbiology Apply here: tinyurl.com/bddbj33d @ScienceShef @PPS_UoS Please RT #postdocjobs

Why is there a giant E.Coli suspended from the Winter Gardens? It’s part of this year’s #biofest2023 🧪 and you can find out more about this sculpture by artist @lukejerramartist at our event on 7 November. Reserve your spot 👇 @VisitSheffield
