Proud to see Jake getting his first half century for Glamorgan today. A knock full of positive intent ending (stumped) on 70, and helping guide his team to an impressive win over a strong Worcestershire team. Hopefully the first of many 馃弿馃馃馃

What a blast the @ad_XVI 16th International Adenovirus Meeting (#IAMXVI) was! And what a team I am blessed with who organised the best closing party ever!




Congratulations to @GW4Alliance @GW4CryoEM @virustinkerer PhD student @MundyRosie presenting her fantastic structural and transcriptomics work today at @ad_XVI! Great work!


Wonderful to reconnect with colleagues I haven鈥檛 seen for decades. Delighted that @ad_XVI #IAMXVI has tempted the wonderful Vivien Mautner temporarily out of retirement! So wonderful to catch up after so many years!

Day two is underway! First focus of the day is a session on #adenovirus #vaccine technologies and platforms! A great day of science ahead!
Finally, our ninth lightning pitch was from Mahulena MARU艩KOV脕 from @virustinkerer lab, @cardiffuni
Fifth 90 second pitch was Kate Millward from @virustinkerer @carlymaybliss lab @cardiffuni
Third up, Rebecca Bayliss from @virustinkerer lab at @cardiffuni
Our lightning 鈿★笍 talks were a storming success!! Great 90 second elevator pitches for the first poster session. First up was Charlotte Lovatt @virustinkerer lab @cardiffuni
And we are off! Starting with a bang with our @EMBO keynote seminar from Prof Urs Greber!
Big day ahead! A year in the planning and WE ARE GO! #Adenovirus #InternatonalMeeting #IAMXVI @ad_XVI @EUINVECTA @virustinkerer @carlymaybliss @cardiffuni @DragomiraMajhen 馃


It鈥檚 here!! #IAMXVI day!!! Can鈥檛 wait to welcome you to sunny Cardiff! Hands up who is excited!!
With only 4 weeks to go 馃槻 we'd love to introduce the Viral ImmunoTherapies and Advanced therapeutics Lab (VITAL) group who will be hosting their "Fighting cancer using viruses" stand. We can't wait to see @virustinkerer at the festival. #Scicomm #Research #STEM
Only 3 days!!!! We wouldn't have been able to deliver the festival we wanted to without our brilliant sponsors. Thank you, we're able to bring STEM into a community that will really benefit from this engagement . @theWCRC @_BSGCT #WAVU @RoySocChem
