Trosolwg

Mae Dr Llinos G Harris yn Uwch-ddarlithydd mewn Microbioleg a Chlefydau Heintus yn Ysgol Feddygaeth Prifysgol Abertawe. Bu’n gweithio fel Uwch-gynorthwy-ydd Ymchwil yn yr Ysgol Feddygaeth am nifer o flynyddoedd cyn cael ei dyrchafu i swydd academaidd. Mae hi'n arbenigo mewn pathogenesis microbaidd ac ymwrthedd i wrthfiotigau; mae ganddi ddiddordeb penodol yn ffurfiad bioffilmiau staffylococal a'i rôl ym mhathogenesis heintiau sy'n gysylltiedig â dyfeisiau meddygol a heintiau nosocomaidd. Mae Llinos yn Gymrawd yr Academi Addysg Uwch, ac mae hi'n arwain ac yn addysgu ar nifer o fodiwlau Geneteg, Biocemeg a Gwyddor Feddygol Gymhwysol. Mae hi hefyd yn goruchwylio prosiectau ymchwil israddedig ac ôl-raddedig.

Cwblhaodd Llinos draethawd estynedig ei MSc (Aberystwyth) ar optimeiddio technegau delweddu electronau wedi'u hôl-wasgaru ar safleoedd adlyniad celloedd ar gyfer microsgopeg sganio electronau yn Sefydliad Ymchwil AO, Davos, y Swistir. Wedyn cwblhaodd PhD o'r enw “Molecular analysis of Staphylococcus aureus adhesins” ym Mhrifysgol Sheffield mewn cydweithrediad â Sefydliad Ymchwil AO. Yna bu'n gweithio am sawl blwyddyn fel ymchwilydd ôl-ddoethurol yn Sefydliad Ymchwil AO lle cafodd ei mentora gan y Cyfarwyddwr presennol, yr Athro R Geoff Richards. Yn ystod ei chyfnod yn Sefydliad Ymchwil AO, bu Llinos yn gweithio ar sawl prosiect yn canolbwyntio ar fiogydnawsedd bioddeunyddiau sydd ar gael yn fasnachol â chelloedd ewcaryotig (ffibroblastau, osteoblastau), staffylococi (S. aureus yn bennaf) a bacteria perthnasol eraill.

Cyfle i mi ledaenu gwybodaeth am bynciau microbioleg a STEM i'r cyhoedd mewn modd difyr ac anffurfiol, â'r nod o feithrin eu diddordeb yn y pwnc a gwella proffil yr Ysgol Feddygaeth a Phrifysgol Abertawe.
Mae cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau allgymorth o'r fath yn rhoi boddhad i mi am fy mod i'n addysgu ac yn rhyngweithio â phobl a allai ffurfio'r genhedlaeth nesaf o wyddonwyr ac, yn aml, â darpar fyfyrwyr Prifysgol Abertawe am bynciau microbioleg.
Fel siaradwr Cymraeg ac arbenigwr ym maes microbioleg, rwyf wedi cymryd rhan mewn cyfweliadau ar raglenni gwyddoniaeth a ffeithiol yn Gymraeg.
Mis Chwefror 2017: Cymerais i ran mewn cyfweliad ar raglen adloniant ffeithiol ddyddiol S4C, Heno, gan siarad am fy nhaith i fod yn ymchwilydd microbioleg, i gyd-fynd â Diwrnod Rhyngwladol Menywod a Merched mewn Gwyddoniaeth.. Rhoddodd hyn gyfle i mi esbonio'r cyfleoedd sydd ar gael i fenywod mewn meysydd STEM.
Mis Ebrill 2017: Ces i fy ngwahodd i gymryd rhan mewn rhaglen gwyddoniaeth i blant ar S4C, Boom, a siarad am therapi cynrhon i drin heintiau, gan esbonio'r pwnc ar lefel y byddai plant rhwng 10 a 14 oed yn ei deall. Roedd yn gyfle gwych i addysgu plant ac oedolion Cymraeg am y gwaith rydym wedi bod yn ei wneud yma ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe ar y cyd â Zoobiotic Ltd. (Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, y DU) ar ddefnyddio cynrhon i drin clwyfau â heintiau cronig.
2019: Cymerais i ran mewn prosiect i ddarparu cwrs gwyddoniaeth ar-lein drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg a fyddai'n addas i fyfyrwyr Blwyddyn 11-13, mewn cydweithrediad â Telesgop a'r Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. Ar gyfer y rhaglen hon, darllenais i sgript a ysgrifennwyd ymlaen llaw ar awtociw, gan siarad am astudio biocemeg a'r cyfleoedd sy'n deillio o hyn. Bu'n rhaid i mi amrywio tôn a chyflymder fy llais i wneud y pwnc yn ddiddorol.

Gwaith yn y cyfryngau

Gwyddonle, Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yr Urdd

Rwy'n arwain ac yn cyfrannu at weithgareddau Ysgol Feddygaeth Prifysgol Abertawe ym mhafiliwn GwyddonLe Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yr Urdd.
Rwy'n trefnu gweithgareddau gwyddonol amrywiol drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg ar gyfer plant ac oedolion.
Derbyniais grant Datblygu Addysg gan y Gymdeithas ar gyfer Microbioleg Gyffredinol i helpu i ariannu gweithgareddau GwyddonLe yr Ysgol Feddygaeth yn 2011, yn benodol i gyfieithu posteri a gweithgareddau i'r Gymraeg. Roedd y posteri ar gael am ddim a chafwyd ymateb gwych gan athrawon, oherwydd nad oedd adnoddau o'r fath ar gael yn Gymraeg o'r blaen.

Effaith:

Mae'r brwdfrydedd a'r diddordeb a ddangosir gan y plant yn ystod y gweithgareddau hyn ac ar eu hôl yn amlygu'r angen i barhau â gwaith o'r fath.
Mae athrawon ysgolion cynradd ac uwchradd yn cael syniadau gwahanol am addysgu microbioleg a phynciau gwyddonol eraill yn eu hystafelloedd dosbarth.

Fel siaradwr Cymraeg ac arbenigwraig mewn microbioleg, mae Llinos wedi cael ei chyfweld ar gyfer rhaglenni gwyddoniaeth a ffeithiol Cymraeg.

Chwefror 2017: Cafodd Llinos ei chyfweld ar gyfer rhaglen adloniant ffeithiol ddyddiol S4C sef Heno, ar sut y daeth yn ymchwilydd microbioleg benywaidd i gyd-fynd â Diwrnod Rhyngwladol Menywod a Merched mewn Gwyddoniaeth. Rhoddodd hyn gyfle iddi egluro’r posibiliadau sydd ar gael i fenywod mewn pwnc STEM.

Ebrill 2017: Gwahoddwyd Llinos i gymryd rhan yn rhaglen wyddoniaeth i blant S4C Boom, a siarad am therapi cynrhon ar gyfer trin heintiau ar lefel y byddai plant 10-14 oed yn ei deall. Roedd hwn yn gyfle gwych i addysgu plant ac oedolion Cymru ar y gwaith y mae Llinos ac eraill wedi bod yn ei wneud ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe mewn cydweithrediad â ZooBiotic Ltd. (Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, DU) ar ddefnyddio cynrhon i drin heintiau clwyfau cronig.

2019: Fe wnaeth Llinos gymryd rhan mewn prosiect i greu cwrs gwyddoniaeth ar-lein Cymraeg wedi’i anelu at fyfyrwyr Blwyddyn 11-13 mewn cydweithrediad â Telesgop a’r Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. Ar gyfer y rhaglen hon roedd hi wedi darllen sgript a ysgrifennwyd ymlaen llaw oddi ar autocue ar astudio biocemeg a'r posibiliadau sy'n deillio o wneud hynny, a oedd yn gofyn am ddefnyddio gwahanol nawsau a chyflymder i wneud y pwnc yn ddiddorol.

Derbyniodd Llinos grant Datblygu Addysg gan y Gymdeithas Microbioleg Gyffredinol i helpu i ariannu gweithgareddau SUMS GwyddonLe yn 2011, yn benodol i gyfieithu posteri a gweithgareddau i’r Gymraeg. Rhoddwyd y posteri i ffwrdd fel rhai ‘rhad ac am ddim’, ac roedd y nifer o athrawon a wnaeth eu derbyn yn aruthrol gan nad oedd adnoddau o’r fath eisoes yn bodoli yn y Gymraeg.

Effaith:

Mae brwdfrydedd a diddordeb y plant yn ystod ac ar ôl y gweithgareddau hyn yn amlygu'r angen i barhau â gwaith o'r fath. Mae athrawon cynradd ac uwchradd yn cael syniadau amgen ar addysgu microbioleg a phynciau gwyddonol eraill yn eu hystafelloedd dosbarth.
