Early stage PhD students - when your supervisor reassures you in the first year or so that all your data will come together in the end and you'll get more in the last 6 months than the previous 3 years altogether; trust us! Learning science isn't linear.💜

📢We have received funding from Innovate UK to establish a #Biofilm Alliance - a network for regulatory sciences, academic #research and industry collaboration

Take our survey to share your perspectives and needs and help shape the network’s direction!

Congratulations to @kelly_beanzz, @unravBiofilms and Lizzie Archer for winning the #AccessMicro Poster Prize at Annual Conference 2024! #Microbio24

Great to have so many Manchester Metropolitan Uni microbiologists here (past and present) at #microbio24 from across the different departments

Arrived at Microbiology Society #microbio24 and great to see the Society advertising the great work publishing with the community can do - but please do consider #AccessMicrobiology journal for your work (including negative data, methods etc) or any of the societies publications.

Publishing negative results is good for science

My latest Editorial for Microbiology Society Access Microbiology, as part of their Negative Results collection.

Something we all know is important but don’t do as much as we should! #AccessMicro has launched its ‘negative’ results collection - perfect home for all that hard work/data you previously thought unpublishable!

Check out #AccessMicro negative results collection highlighting studies that didn’t work out as planned, but produced rigorous data, with an introductory editorial from the inimitable Elisabeth Bik Microbiology Society

I’m so excited to launch our negative results collection at #AccessMicro . This is a rolling collection that will continue to grow Microbiology Society and a huge thank you to Elisabeth Bik. We are positive about your negative data!

Exciting to start our work towards the Biofilm Alliance. We want to establish a regulatory science approach to biofilm in the UK. Our first task is to understand the relationships between all those interested in biofilm where regulation is involved (industry, academic etc) 👇

I have a 3-year fully-funded (UK only) PhD studentship available in my lab working on emerging atypical Salmonella StrathPharm&Bio ! Closing date: May 3rd findaphd.com/phds/project/c…

#AccessMicro is looking for Editors and Editor Mentees – we are especially interested in applications from early career researchers with clinical or virology experience. If you are interested in editing for the platform, apply by 29 February: microb.io/49hDPwu

Interested in supporting Microbiology Society #OpenAccess and #OpenData platform Access Microbiology? We’re looking for Editors! A great way to get some experience and supporting the microbiology community. #ECRs more than welcome!

I’m honoured & excited to take on Deputy Editor-in-Chief duties for #AccessMicro

Access Microbiology is an innovative platform for all rigorously performed science in microbiology offering pre-prints and transparent peer review within the Microbiology Society publishing portfolio

Very much looking forward to working with co-dEiC Seána Duggan, and EiC Helina Marshall and the wider team at the Microbiology Society as #AccessMicrobiology continues to grow and serve the Microbiology community #openaccess #opendata
