Last Monday I ran a DIY microbiology workshop embedding textiles to capture traces of the bacteria with students visiting from @Princeton University. Today I was able to look at the results and peel off the textiles for pasteurisation tomorrow. These are some of my favourites
Look at what the @ModMedMicro scientists cultured from socks from a bouncy castle! #BiologyWeek #LoveBiology #microbiology Can you guess what the big blue colony in the middle is? (Hint: grown on chromogenic agar)

I’m very pleased to be giving a talk at the IGEM Grand Jamboree 2024 (the world expo of synthetic biology) in Paris and doing a panel with Radu Ticiu, Alex May and Carlos Silveira jamboree.igem.org/2024/home @RaduTiciu @alexmayarts @iGEM
Happy #UKFungusDay! Not all just pretty mushrooms- fungi can also make useful antibiotics or cause disease. Why not test your fungal trivia: ukfungusday.co.uk/_files/ugd/ca3… Or enter the photo competition! @ukfungusday @BritMycolSoc #fungi #mycology
