Publish negative results! Proving a null hypothesis advances science as much (sometimes more) than positive results. Very proud of this work, in collab with @Scripps_Ocean, with support from @deepcarb and @NERCscience, published by @MicrobioSoc microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Just a few weeks left to apply for an exciting funded PhD with us @UoMMIB to isolate and develop new model organisms from extreme environments for environmental biotech: findaphd.com/phds/project/d… #Environmental #Biotech #Extremophiles

We're hiring! Come and join a vibrant team (incl @dunkie_c @katcoyte et al) working on frontier environmental #microbiome science. 5 year Senior Technician role available to start in January, linked to @BBSRC sLoLa project: jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

I couldn't be more proud of @reem_swidah for winning this amazing award. She so deserves this recognition. It was an absolute pleasure to celebrate with her at Westminster 🙃and what an amazing role model for her daughters, and for all the aspiring #womeninSTEM out there 💪

I'm looking for a bioinformatician to join our team @NixonLabUoM - DM me if interested.

Last places on our Academic #writingretreat 2-4 April #NorthYorkshire - join us in our #writingroom - all disciplines #postdoc #phd #WritingCommmunity DM or visit our website

🆕 A five-year collaboration with the Earlham Institute, led by @SophieLNixon at @OfficialUoM, is set to unravel the rules of life in #microbial #communities, potentially leading to a method for curbing environmentally harmful emissions. okt.to/zB9QXf @UoMMIB @BBSRC

This! 👇👏

We will be advertising posts for 8 x PDRAs, 4 x PhD studentships, a full time lab tech and part time project manager in the coming months 🙃

Delighted to have been awarded a @BBSRC sLoLa to study the 'rules of life' in microbiomes. Looking forward to 5 years of exciting science ahead! Shout out to my amazing collaborators @katcoyte @BrockhurstLab @dunkie_c et al at @OfficialUoM (esp. @UoMMIB) & @EarlhamInst

Delighted to have partnered with @LabmanRobots to welcome a fantastic line-up of #womeninSTEM for our first Science Cabaret - @FindingAda #ALD2023 #scientistswritetoo

Won't be using @Argos_Online again, they don't care about making their customers feel valued. Have wasted too much of my precious time chasing what should be an instant fix. Will default to @AmazonUK in future!

Our latest chapter of the Asgard saga is finally published in @nature! See nature.com/articles/s4158… #OpenAccess See separate twitter threads by lead authors @eme_laura and @DanielTamarit for background info. Below a thread on the history of the Tree of Life .

Iceland you have been spectacular. Looking forward to returning in a few months 🙌

Hello Iceland! It's great to be back 🥰 Excited for a couple of days' sampling in the South West region 🌋🦠

It was a pleasure to talk to the fabulous students at @Levenshulmehigh last week about (using maths in) STEM careers, including the need for more #WomenInSTEM @lorealuki @GeorgeFreemanMP @uksciencechief
