#Introduction time again, having moved instance.

Hi! I'm David, and I work in #Scotland (Kingdom of Fife) as an #NHS doctor specialising in #Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.

I have an interest in antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) and antibiotic stewardship, and I run our local #OPAT service, where we deliver daily IV antibiotics to patients otherwise well enough to be at home.

#introductions

I'm not a journalist but I'm obsessed with #WorldNews

I am only fluent in English, but I'm tying to learn German, Russian, Hindi & other #Languages

My experience is mostly in #science - most recently a (currently unfinished) #PhD on the evolution of lung #pathogens

You can find me talking about
#microbiology @kirt@mstdn.science
or #evolution @kirt@ecoevo.social
or everything else @kirt@mastodon.social

or yelling at twitter @evolving_string

Follows are not endorsements, just curiosity.

Welp- time for another one:

Submission open for our micro- #publication Willowlands.

Do you have an idea and a datapoint, in-between a lab note and a poster? Would you like to communicate it to the wider audience to build a real study, but still want it to be attributable and citable?

Willowlands might be for you. 2 pages maximum including figures. DOI assigned and archived. No other limitations!

#introduction
Hello everyone!
I’m an associate prof at Virginia Tech studying viral diversity. Lately my group has been focusing on giant viruses, but we are also interested in other protist viruses, and the role of viral endogenization in host genome evolution.

Recently we have been examining the strange and complex genes encoded in giant virus genomes!

Copying my last hashtaggy #introduction

My two #cats and I go on walks together.

I love #languages: they make me happy-happy. (#English, #deutsch, #français, #español, #日本語, smatterings)
My other love is #biology, especially #genetics and #physiology, but also #microbiology.

I rub fabrics and textures (#neurodiverse), love #audiobooks and #podcasts (#documentary, #history, #fantasy, #cozyMystery), #manga and music (#alternativeMetal, #jRock) and when I have the spoons, #cooking and #crafts.

Here is my #Introduction for #ScienceMastodon

I am ecologist interested in soil biodiversity and global change.

We work on many factors of global change, including: #climatechange #microplastics #pollution

Our focal organisms are #fungi and we work on saprobic fungi as well as on fungi forming #mycorrhiza

#introduction moved over to genomic.social run by @Psy_Fer_ For those who don't know me, I'm an amateur biologist in #NYC studying #microbiology #evolution #genomics using #nanopore & #bioinformatics tools. 3 genomes submitted to Genbank, one preprint, and more to come. Looking forward to some fun conversations

I work at the intersection of #microbiology , #engineering , #risk and the #environment . Lots of work in #drinkingwater , #indoorairquality ( #IAQ ), #wastewaterreuse

organisms of current interest include:
#Legionella
#Mycobacterium
#COVID19

#fungi

Interested in #disinfection , #processmodeling, #neuralnetworks , #CFD

tools used:
#Matlab
#Rstats
#Python
