We had a great time representing @quadraminstitute.bsky.social at Norwich Science Festival! ✨
Our ‘Fantastic Phages!’ stall had lots of great engagement! It was exciting to share our passion for bacteriophages and their ‘superhero’ qualities with the public 🦸🦠
It was great to be interviewed about our latest publication ‘Phage Diversity in One Health’. In the interview we discussed the importance of expanding phage diversity to support One Health! 🌍

Yesterday we held the Student Science Showcase, with some great talks and posters from the student community at @quadraminstitute.bsky.social
We also had Xena present her work on Ruminococcus gnavus prophages today. Watch this space for the prophage discovery pipeline she developed!
