It was fantastic to be involved in this meeting - I think we found a lot of common ground to move forward together with recommendations around microbial nomenclature. Many thanks to the organising team, especially @fragilismatters for driving everything!

We're incredibly proud of Emma (who wisely is not on Twitter) and her work on this with us and @traceygloster - her first published paper! Do you need a tool to obtain, collate and process carbohydrate active enzyme data? You might like cazy_webscraper!
I’m not here often@widdowquinn17 Aug 2023
Another PhD student first paper! Emma's supervised by me and @TraceyGloster and has written a tool to facilitate her - and others' - research on carbohydrate-active enzymes, and the publication came out officially this week 1/ microbiologyresearch.org/con…

Call me a snowflake, but the thing I really, really don't want to hear from the person wielding the drill and pliers is 'I'm not actually a dentist, as such, but ...'
