1/8. 𝐧𝐜𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐬 often fly under the radar... but they're vital in bacteria-phage conflicts & beyond. Curious 𝙬𝙝𝙮!? 🤔
Here, we dive into their immune roles, plasticity, and discuss their hidden potential! 🧬🚀

I’m happy to share my first publication of my PhD, which is online now in mSystems titled ‘Advancing microbiome research in Māori populations: insights from recent literature exploring the gut microbiomes of underrepresented and Indigenous peoples’ 🦠

The baking skills of the @PeterFineran lab @microtago are unmatched. I hope #BMH2024 appreciates our beloved Serratia ❤️ – at Melbourne, Victoria
Finally at #BMH2024! Couldn’t help but expose twitter to the creation @ShaharnC and I made for #Serratia day earlier this month for the BMH2024 baking competition 💕💗💖🌸🐷🎀 May the best baked item win (although ours is pretty slay ✨) @bmh2024Melb

I’ve felt more than lucky to be able to tour around the US! Thanks to @JohnHelmann and his whole lab for being so welcoming and talking some great science (and not science!) with me this week 🧬👩🔬
