I am so proud of my students, and their commitment to this all undergraduate project! peerj.com/articles/8097/ via PeerJ Publishing


The very generous graduate students in Wisconsin Institute for Discovery are volunteering their skills to help with COVID-19 testing or whatever is needed in this crisis. I love our students! To sign up, visit docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Check out this video I made with Kerri Coon about some of my planned research. I'm very excited to study the role Muscidae flies play in spreading environmental pathogens in dairy barn settings.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be advertising a new NSF-funded post-doc position in my lab soon as part of a partner grant with BBSRC Grant Hughes 🦟🦠 @mosquitomicrobe .bsky.social Eva Heinz!!!Our proj will investigate bacterial/host factors contributing to microbiome acquisition & homeostasis in mosquitoes

How do flies acquire & transmit pathogenic🦠to🐄? #MDTP student Andrew Sommer is answering this with trainers Kerri Coon, Elfenbein lab, & Suen Lab. Learn more about Andrew's research in this animated video!⬇️ youtu.be/a6pCvBDso5s Dairy Innovation Hub UW-Madison Department of Bacteriology UW School of Vet Med

It’s official! We’re now recruiting two postdocs for our 5-year collaborative award from the NSF and BBSRC on mosquito-microbe/microbiome interactions—one in my lab UW-Madison Department of Bacteriology UW–Madison and one LSTM LSTM Vector Biology with Eva Heinz Grant Hughes 🦟🦠 @mosquitomicrobe .bsky.social Please RT/share widely!
