@gjm @dx @typeswitch I enjoyed the website very much http://www.marchmarchmarch.org.uk/

March March march

@dx @typeswitch Nearish to the city of Cambridge is a town called March.

So, every spring, a group of slightly unhinged people from the Cambridge area (mostly present or former academics or students from the University of Cambridge, for historical reasons) get themselves to March and walk together back to Cambridge. It's called the March March March.

(I think the town's name is etymologically related, distantly, to walking but not to the month.)

The new season is nearly upon us! If you love singing choral music, come along for our first rehearsal on 15th Sep 2025, 7.45pm, Stapleford School Hall (CB22 5BJ).

@ellieraejaye Haggard... maybe??? But I'm not sure that quite fits the description! Good luck finding out who it was!

Summer is certainly upon us! Join us on Saturday 5th July 2025, 7 30pm at St Andrew's Church, Stapleford. We have a lovely selection of music to share from Bach, Bruckner, Pounds, Handel ...!

@FrazzledBrynn TGTG falls short so often (many times I go out of my way and they're like "lol no we have nothing, you'll have to request a refund from the app") I definitely prefer Olio so I can choose the food and the collection time...

This paper wraps up an incredibly fruitful collaboration made possible by the Cambridge-Africa ALBORADA Research Fund.

Give it a read, share your thoughts, and reach out if you'd like to chat about #Ornithobacterium! 🦠

One final detail is that Celine managed to isolate and sequence the dainty 1.4Mb genome of a novel species of #Helcococcus that is strongly associated with O. hominis.

We've called it Helcococcus ekapensis (with reference to Ekapa, the Xhosa name for Cape Town) - hoping to learn more about that bug in future!

Meanwhile, I looked at how the #microbiome differs between children who carry O. hominis (before and after acquisition), and children who don't.

The availability of a large 16S dataset, allowing us to curate a subset of well matched carriers/non-carriers, was a huge advantage here.
