I loved this essay on scientific writing in @NatureBiotech (rdcu.be/edUCp). It highlights a key lesson I’ve applied throughout my career: the power of reading, thinking, and keeping a notebook with your ideas. Let me explain why this matters… 🧵👇

Excited to share my first research article published in Molecular Plant Pathology! “A Sucrose-Utilisation Gene Cluster Contributes to Colonisation of Horse Chestnut by Pseudomonas syringae pv. aesculi” Thanks to my supervisors @SabrineDhaouadi & @RobWJackson for their support!

The results are in: we've risen to 76th in the @worlduniranking 🎉 Thanks to all the students, staff, academics, alumni & partners around the world who have helped us rise once again - this sustained improvement is great news in our 125th anniversary year birmingham.ac.uk/news/2025/univ…

Janine Haueisen et al. investigated host specificity in Zymoseptoria tritici and two related species that form compatible and incompatible interactions with wheat. Through comparative microscopy, transcriptomics, and functional analyses, the researchers found a largely conserved…

Thank you Haider @Zymo_haider for your kind hospitality. Getting a sharp question from a 5 year-old was a highlight!

Thrilled to have organised the Bioscience Graduate Research School Symposium (#BGRSS2025)! It was an honour to host @KamounLab who delivered a captivating keynote with exciting updates from his lab. Grateful for an inspiring day of science and discussion!

Haider Ali, @McdonaldMeganc, and @GraemeKettles developed a rapid forward genetics methodology to identify genes that enable Zymoseptoria tritici to gain virulence on previously resistant wheat varieties. Learn more: doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-0…

We are delighted to announce that TSL group leader, Professor Wenbo Ma @wenboEffector, has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. This honour celebrates her groundbreaking research in molecular plant pathology.

I’m thrilled to announce that Prof. Sophien Kamoun (@KamounLab) will be joining us as the keynote speaker for the upcoming #BGRSS2025 at the University of Birmingham! As an organising committee member, I warmly welcome him to Birmingham. #BGRSS2025 #PlantScience #UoB
