LGBTQ+ genome scientist, microbiologist... give me a cool genome structure & I am happy! Proud member of @Langridgelab & creator of #WhatIsAScientist exhibition
Well it's been a while but I know how much this community loved & supported #WhatIsAScientist?
I'm pleased to announce it is now a 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 online #teaching resource! Showcasing the diverse scientists at the @NorwichResearch Park & helping to smash stereotypes in science
I firmly believe that if children can't see themselves reflected in a career, they can dismiss the possibility of pursuing something they would otherwise love to be!🧑🔬

Let's put some happy queer stories out here to counter the recent attack to supporting diversity...
Here's Lauren Esposito, a founder of @500QueerSci, championing queer scientists of colour. We have the power to create the scientific community we want nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
It was wonderful to have @NisbetAlice and @EH_Hayles back in time for Langridge lab Christmas! Definitely been quiet without them!
A final little push to sort out the last bits of a wonderful 2024! Looking forward to help with the awesome things we have lined up for 2025!🥳
As we wrap up for a well deserved festive break, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas from all of us in the Langridge lab + friends
We look forward to sharing more of our exciting science happening @TheQuadram with you all next year... 2025 is gonna be our year!
Our @EmmaBeansworth has been busy again... 1st she presented our latest publication on #Salmonella Agona persistence in humans @TheQuadram's Annual Science Meeting. She did a great job summarising 3 yrs of work into 15 min
See the bits she missed out here dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…
Great to see the MMBDTP get so passionate during my favourite day of the comparative genomics week - a day full of finding deletions, insertions and genome structures. Plus a snow day! ❄️ I think an early Xmas jumper might be acceptable...
I have decided to make the move to Bluesky! Follow me here bsky.app/profile/emmabeanswo…
You will find me here less and less.. Hopefully, I'll see you on the other side, especially as I have some very exciting news about the big and bright future of #WhatIsAScientist? to share soon 🌅
Really pleased I managed to find 1/3 of the @LangridgeLab.bsky.social followers as they move to #bluesky. The things I do for you guys! Now to sort out my own account!

The 3rd grant application for the same worthy project is so going to the lucky one! Right?🤞

What can I say other than Agona is officially finally a goner!😇It was great to see that @PLOSPathogens
& the reviewers appreciated how big this study was
Thanks to everyone for their help - I started this work after my honeymoon & I'm so pleased my marriage has out lived it🤣
My last post for #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek is going to end on a cool positive note.
A couple of years ago, this research article hit the news. Researchers investigated if #dyslexia is a disorder or if it actually plays a vital role in human adaptation.. 1/6

In the context of human existence, writing is a very recent invention (~5500 years, probably by a dyslexic🙄). The
need to read & write unlikely exerted any evolutionary selection pressure so the “problem” of dyslexia only exists in our culture & systems for measuring intellect
It's our culture that needs to change how it perceives us. Being dyslexic is just different, but we are awesome. We are the ones that will help figure out how to overcome & adapt to humanities next challenges to continue to help us all survive & thrive.
