On the plane after a fantastic few days in Liverpool at #MicroEvo25 organised by the @microbiologysociety.org. The science, the people, and the city were all way above expectations. I’m definitely coming back. Had an absolute blast!

We established a genome of an unculturable bacterial endosymbiont (Wolbachia, wFem) that feminises Eurema butterflies using a single-cell–based technique.

Single-cell genome analysis of a feminizing Wolbachia in Eurema butterflies reveals a shared origin with male-killing Wolbachia
Wolbachia is a ubiquitous endosymbiont in arthropods that is maternally transmitted and affects host reproduction in various ways. Among these, skewing the host sex ratio towards females, either by ki...

Still buzzing after the @microbiologysociety.org meeting on 'Understanding and Predicting Microbial Evolutionary Dynamics' last week. It was great to connect with so many people who share the same type of science. Big thanks to the organisers for the opportunity to present my research too!

Had a great time at #MicroEvo25 soaking up some inspiring science from lots of amazing people. Even networked! Very well organised by @microbiologysociety.org. Next time hopefully more of the work presented is published in society journals! If we don't use it we will lose it!
