A week ago I passed my viva! It's taken a few days for that to sink in! A huge thank you to my supervisor @ryankean29 and my peers at @GCU_BIO @SHIPGCU. It's been a wild ride (not least because C. auris is scary 😂) but I'm so proud of myself for getting through it 🍄🦠
Absolutely delighted for my Ph.D student Alicia Ware @PCRnotCPR passing her viva today. Thanks to Jan Quinn and Claire Crossan for examining @NclFungalGroup @ClaireLCrossan 😄🔬🍄

Thanks so much @SBPRC_Committee for the opportunity to present my research to my peers. What a great event!
Wrapping up the final talk for today we’ve had @PCRnotCPR from @CaledonianNews. Alicia talked about transcriptional profiling of biofilm-mediated tolerance of bleach in Candida auris.

It was great to hear about @DeeptiKC31's research into differences between perceptions of #IPC implementation in Scotland and Nepal. The importance of #Nurses in #IPC cannot be understated!
Last month our research students from SHIP participated in the inaugural GCU SHLS PGR Conference, where @DeeptiKC31 presented her latest findings on the role of #Nurses in #IPC during the #COVID19 pandemic. Read more about it here👉bit.ly/3ygoU5i

Absolutely disgraceful customer service from @British_Airways Flights booked (and confirmation email to prove it!) but since cancelled by BA and we were not notified. No options to re-book or access refund on these flights. Customer service line hangs up on me #britishairways
