Interested in the physiological role of bacterial efflux pumps and host-pathogen interactions🏳️🌈 (he/him)
I am ecstatic to announce that I’ve been awarded a @wellcometrust Early Career Award! I couldn’t have done it without everyone who helped me along the way! I will join @Dunn_School to do some exciting science on efflux pumps for the next 5 years!
Has anyone done Klebsiella pneumoniae survival assay in the presence of LL-37? I’ve read several papers, but they all use different media! 😭
The new @unibirmingham Doctoral school has just launched! Very exciting times for Postgraduate research at the university of Birmingham! birmingham.ac.uk/study/postgrad…

I highly suggest ethidium bromide, RFK Jr 🥰
RFK Jr putting Methylene Blue in his water while flying is prime we’re so back. MB while flying - Mitigates any radiation burden - Protects against oxidative stress - Anti viral so you don’t catch a cold - Boosts autophagy if fasting on flight Also that dose I don’t recommend,…
