How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Experimental Evolution: From Regulatory Rewiring to Antibiotic Resistance
Dr Louise Flanagan is a postdoc in the University of Manchester working with Dr Danna Gifford on the evolution of antibiotic resistance. Louise started her scientific career at University College Dublin where she obtained a BSc in Genetics. She then went on to do an MSc in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Bath, and a PhD at Bath as well under the supervision of Prof Tiffany Taylor, studying the evolution of bacterial gene regulation. Her PhD research focussed on the eco-evolutionary drivers of regulatory rewiring with a particular focus on genetic hotspots, species and strain differences, and nutrient environment. All of this work was primarily carried out using experimental evolution (the act of applying a selection pressure and observing evolution in real time). This approach underpins Louise's current work on antibiotic resistance and the University of Manchester where she is investigating the effectiveness of using combination therapies (≥2 antibiotics concurrently) to limit the emergence of resistance, and look at how resistance emergence varies across different genetic backgrounds in the Pseudomonas genus.
