You know you are at a conference when you hear

"It's not a question, more of a comment" before someone (usually a man) re-explains what the speaker (usually not a man) just said.

Day 2 of #ICBRAMR #icbrar2023 conference in Chennai.

Starting with Paul Jaschke telling us how to control viruses by engineering. Cool!

Anita Gupta has done amazing work improving phage display and using it to make human antibodies, including for covid

WHO released a list of research priorities for #AMR last year

The trolley problem: your imagination versus the even sadder reality. (Just got this from a friend who also collects trolley problem variants.)

I'm very excited to share that our bacteriophage recovery tool, Phables has been accepted for publication in the OUP Bioinformatics journal.

Publication: https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btad586
GitHub: https://github.com/Vini2/phables

A big thank you to everyone at FAME for supporting this work.

I wholly endorse both the sentiment behind, and purchase of, @effinbirds’s latest shirt, which I proudly wear today (actually changed in the car after opening the package). I’ll get a lot of mileage out of this one.

Super thrilled to announce that we secured BRaVE initiative funding to establish "Phage Foundry" with a dream team!! 🥳 Aim is to develop a foundational platform that integrates many aspects of phage research and rapidly design countermeasures for AMR pathogens. https://www.energy.gov/science/articles/department-energy-announces-1124-million-research-support-national-biopreparedness
