"Libraries remain crucial, but libraries are not passive things. They are active things. They need librarians, they need curators, they need people to love the books," - Martin C.J. Maiden, PhD, FRCPath, FMedSci, @UniofOxford, providing a Key Note on "25 years of MLST" #IPNC2023

We’re encouraging all students heading to uni this autumn to make sure they’re up to date with all free routine NHS vaccinations via the NHS app and catch up with any they’ve missed, like the #MenACWY vaccine. More info: gov.uk/government/news/aroun…
Around 1 in 8 new students are unprotected against 4 deadly types of meningitis. 13% of new students missed their free MenACWY vaccine in school and remain unprotected.

Our #MicrobioKenya23 course has come to an end, marking the start of a vibrant new community. I’m sure I’ll hear amazing things from these guys & I look forward to our future meetings. Gratitude to my newfound Nigerian friend @OlalekanKemiki for the exquisite fila.

Not saying @MaidenLab & @keithajolley are old, but their partnership is an ancient treasure! 📜From our first course in 2009 in Malawi to the 2023 edition in Nairobi, they're still shaping the microbiology world! #MicrobioKenya23 #microbiology – at Nairobi, Kenya

Ruth Tondey was an Ivorian singer. A few years ago she died of meningitis. Rachel Tondey, her sister, told us the details of her story. Help us raise awareness about meningitis, share your story too. Click here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

First of an occasional series of tweets addressing frequently asked questions about PubMLST and the BIGSdb platform.

PubMLST FAQ: How do I find published datasets? There are two ways to find a dataset linked to a paper. Method 1 – look in the list of publications linked from the isolate database index page.
