Phage Attack #NZLabLife @microsky.bsky.social

PhD student Max Pizarro had a pod of Hector’s dolphins out pointing him towards samples for his #phage hunt today! #NZLabLife

This year I have the pleasure of watching stick insect hatch from their tiny eggs! These are native species Acanthoxyla inermis according to @morganemerien.bsky.social very cute! #NZLabLife #Insects en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acantho...

Today is my first day not checking in on the stick insects during the day!! Miss those #invertebrates! #NZLabLife

We are developing a killer team of phage biologists here who are ready to take on any challenge. My best moments each week are when these guys drop by to chat :) #NZLabLife @microsky

Every Friday I meet with the lab group and it is hands down the most fun I have at work. This week, Danielle Kok had this exciting #phage plaque plate. It may not look like much but for us, this was super exciting! #NZLabLife #Microsky #Mevosky

I have been at the aquacultureNZ conference for the past two days talking to the industry about phages to keep animals and people safe. Today we visited an oyster flip farm! Amazing and gorgeous! #micro #phage #NZLabLife

It was a good day at the beach in Christchurch. The Hendrickson lab and family gathered for our end of year BBQ. What a year we have had! Thanks team! You guys are the best :) #NZLabLife

You know that feeling when everything you see on the weekend reminds you of work somehow? #NZLabLife

We had a lovely visit yesterday at the University of canterbury with the always awesome Veronika Meduna! We chatted about phages for honeybees and Salmon! Thanks for dropping by :) #NZLabLife @veronikameduna.bsky.social

Amazing wrap up to our 300 level Microbiology class today! Ian Dickie has our students pick microbial or fermented foods to teach us about and he brings them in to class! Highlights were nato, lambic, Nobel rot, and blue cheese :) very fun day! #MicrobesRule #MicroUC #NZLabLife

Today was a perfect summer day in NZ to celebrate with the lab in the sun! Jan tried a high throughput method and found phages, he also just got a fellowship (hooray)! Danielle published another paper as well! Great job team!! Thanks PhD student @maxpizarro.bsky.social for photos! #NZLabLife

We are hiring a #phage research assistant here in Christchurch to help with our phagesolutions.co.nz project. If you are looking for a rewarding job in a microbiology laboratory, please take a look! #NZLabLife

I am happy to report that our lab is making new friends!!! Wax moth larvae :) 🐛🐛🐛 #NZLAbLife @microsky.bsky.social

What a wonderful honeybee research symposium we have just had in Wellington! Really interesting talks from around the country and interested Apiarists asking great questions. So glad I came along this year! Many thanks to the organisers and sponsors! #NZLabLife #phages

I am really excited about a project right now and one of my colleagues spotted me standing around on campus staring at a wildflower field looking for a particular butterfly. I started to say “ Oh, I’m not just, like, staring at flowers…” but, who am I kidding? #NZLabLife #ButterflyHunt
