To celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we’re sharing stories and research from some brilliant scientists at IOI 🧵⬇️
🦟Recent research co-authored by IOI DPhil students Kate Cook and Shonnette Premchand-Branker found that flies in Nigerian hospitals carry antibiotic resistant bacteria, posing a risk to patients. Find out more ➡️ ineosoxford.ox.ac.uk/news/flies-nig…
It's World Wildlife Day! 🌿🐜 In conversations about antimicrobial resistance, the environment can often be forgotten. The IOI's AVIAR project shines a light on the role of flies as vectors of disease and #AMR Learn more about their latest research ➡️ ow.ly/VLPe50V88Ig
With #Budget2024 confirming an increase in minimum wage I've updated my chart of UKRI minimum PhD stipends. From next April, PhD students in the UK will be around £1400 a year worse off than if they worked 37.5 hours a week on minimum wage
Great talk by @KirstySands1 @IneosOxford using @nanopore to be able to gain insights into genomics that were not able to be captured by short read sequencing #amr #surveillance #MGen 🧫🧬

Facebook asked me to post an update from the first photo. From broken back to broken GridION, I'm not sure what was more upsetting 🤣
Emotional moment holding our GridION as she took her last breath. She has now been replaced with a shiny new one, but we will always remember iona1 with gratitude for the thousands of bacterial genomes, microbiomes and phages she has given us ❤️ @nanopore @IneosOxford
Hello @UniofOxford @OxfordBiology how can I get a rainbow lanyard to add to my collection from previous studies/jobs? I've seen people around Oxford with rainbow ones but I don't know where to get one 🙏🏼🌈
Great to see our collaborative commentary with our @IneosOxford coauthors published in The Conversation (@TC_Africa) raising awareness about #AMR in babies in #Nigeria highlighting our continuing collaborative research.

Nothing gets me moving for the day quite like my ride on the top deck of the S3 down Woodstock road (my arms were spontaneously thrown in the air as if I were on a rollercoaster this morning) #potholes @OxfordCity
🦟 To celebrate #InsectWeek we're shining a spotlight on research from the AVIAR project. Hear from IOI DPhil student Kate Cook who studies how flies contribute to the spread of infections in hospital wards in Kano, Nigeria. Read more ➡️ ow.ly/a11l50SlwIQ @_KateCook
Whilst everyone is appreciating insects on #WorldInsectWeek, I just want to keep you on your toes 😉 Here's a preview of the poster I presented at @nanopore London Calling this year - A metagenomic analysis of bacteria carried by insects on hospital wards in Nigeria.
Inaccurate #AMR detection hampers public health efforts. Read how @LSHTM used #nanopore technology to overcome current challenges of identifying resistant markers, providing a rapid and robust method for AMR surveillance. Learn more: bit.ly/3VdrS5i #WYMM
“The problem of [antimicrobial resistance (AMR)] has been seen as either not urgent or too difficult to solve. Neither is true.” 🆕 A Lancet Series spotlights this global issue & how existing infection prevention methods could save 750,000 lives a year: hubs.li/Q02ylby30
🤯🤯🤯🤯
At @nanopore we have successfully sequenced a yeast chromosome, telomere to telomere, in one read.
"Investing in Africa’s genomics future is an imperative not just for the continent’s health but for global health security as well," write @Tuliodna and Cheryl Baxter in a new #ScienceExpertVoices article. Read more: scim.ag/5sH
Hello, I forgot my twitter password for a year and only just figured out how to reset it. But update: I'm somehow (despite the aforementioned) still at @UniofOxford @IneosOxford doing my DPhil 🪰🪳🧫🦠🧬. Catch me in person tomorrow at @nanopore London Calling if you're there 🙂
