Jess Thompson is an editor at Nature Microbiology. After a PhD in Salmonella pathogenesis and two postdocs at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia, Portugal, in host-microbe interactions, in August 2022 Jess joined the editorial team at Nature Microbiology. Her talk will discuss how she ended up as an editor, provide a behind the scenes look at publishing within the Nature Portfolio, discuss what the job involves, its advantages and disadvantages, and the career possibilities. She will also answer any questions you might have about the excitements and challenges of moving from experiments to editorials, or the publishing process more broadly.

The Australian Society for Microbiology WA Branch and the Marshall Centre welcome an eminent international guest speaker, Professor Stephen Bentley.

Prof Stephen Bentley leads a research team at the Wellcome Sanger Institute near Cambridge in the UK. Over the last two decades, his research has pioneered the application of genomic technologies to understand the biology of bacterial pathogens. Over that period his work has developed from annotation of genes in the early reference genomes, through the emergence of population genomics, to the current developments in respiratory metagenomics and mathematical modelling of evolution and spread.
