Can’t even describe how proud I am. He worked so hard, despite his injuries and his pain and has just been elected with a remarkable majority. Norwich just gained another hard-working councillor @acatt1497 edp24.co.uk/news/local-counc…
Recently I feel like some Twitter threads start as if they’re just going to be a joke, until I click to expand and realise that it is actually a serious thread. Here are some tips to avoid giving the impression that your tweet is just a joke (1/7)
Is it just me or is the Outlook search function completely broken? I could give the search bar an entire dossier on a specific email from 2 days ago and it still refuses to find it.

Our @HAP_Diagnostics paper now out in @ThoraxBMJ demonstrating automated PCR is far more sensitive than culture for microbiological diagnosis of hospital-acquired pneumonia including VAP in ICU. With @ThisIsAlp @Justin_OGrady @NorwichCTU and many more. thorax.bmj.com/content/early…
This really does lay bare the inherent xenophobia of it all. Not long ago it was "We don't need you", and now that we're in trouble, it is "ok I guess you can come back to work for us, but only temporarily, then get out".

My boyfriend was the target of homophobic abuse recently and wrote a piece in the EDP about it. It’s important that we all step in when we witness bigotry or abuse, whoever we are and wherever we see it.
After I was the victim of a homophobic hate crime, here is my piece in the @EDP24/@EveningNews about the need to unite against rising homophobic and transphobic attacks. This follows @NorwichGreens passing my motion in support of trans rights last week.

Amazing case report. The medicine of tomorrow. 5 week old boy admitted to NICU. Within 37 hours he had his whole genome sequenced, gene defect identified, treatment ordered and received by patient. Within 6 hr symptoms resolved. tinyurl.com/4emtz2p4

So, 8 amazing years after starting my own research group, I am leaving academia. As of yesterday I am a Senior Director @nanopore. I will miss my colleagues @TheQuadram and @uea but am looking forward to my new adventure developing rapid diagnostics!

For the past 15 months the team at @thequadram have been rapidly sequencing SARS-CoV-2 samples from hospitals in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, without fail, providing detailed genomic epidemiological analysis straight back to local clinicians within a few hours.

For a PhD student, choosing a good lab is 10 times more important than choosing a particular topic to study
We just hosted a workshop on Imposter Syndrome/Phenomenon by Dr Megan Murray and it was absolutely brilliant - it generated a huge amount of discussion and made people realise they're not alone. Imposter Syndrome is so pervasive and it's important to recognise it in yourself.
Thank you so much to Dr Megan Murray for this really helpful and informative workshop! This has generated so much discussion and we hope to follow up on these points in the future! 💗
