Happy to share that I received Honorable Mention for my 2022 NSF #GRFP application. Although it’s not quite what I had hoped for it was encouraging to see so many positive comments from reviewers.

Farrow: ability to detect methylation in PacBio HiFi (released today!) will drive disease discovery - case of rare hypermethylation unveiled new expansion, more work to be done. #PBdiscoveries

Interested in learning about how to isolate and study chytrids? A few slots are available for a hands on workshop this Aug 9-14 hosted at the University of Michigan Biological Station. Please share! websites.umich.edu/~mycology/UMBS… 7:52

Come check out my poster tonight at #MSAfungi2022 where I’ll be talking about mycoviruses and Chytrid Fungi!

My buddy Dr. Dylan Enright gave such an incredible and enthusiastic talk about Pyrophilous fungi. We learned that not only are pyrophilous fungi phylogenetically conserved but that they might share traits. #MSAfungi22 P.S check out his paper to read more.

When your dog missed you while you were at a conference so she watches you work all day. Best grad student dog. #PhDog

Such a fantastic time in MI last week at the first UMBS Chytrid workshop! Truly was inspiring being around other Chytrid researchers and learning together how to find and isolate these incredible fungi.

Chytrid fungi affect human health! THIS is why Joyce E. Longcore, first to isolate and describe Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is the 2022 Distinguished Mycologist. wired.com/story/the-fung… via WIRED

I’ve passed my qualifying exams! Lots of work ahead but suddenly it all seems more within reach.

When your RNA extraction yields are super high. It’s a good problem to have.

We found a DNA CRESS virus in #Batrachochytrium - work from Mark Yacoub Rebecca Clemons, Tim James, Tommy Jenkinson Lillian Fritz-Laylin Stajich Laboratory and others.

New manuscript in Mycologia lead by Cassie Ettinger, PhD w/ Mark Yacoub and others in our lab using RNASeq to study development in the dioecious chytrid fungus and mosquito pathogen Coelomomyces tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… 🦟🍄🧬 @ucrcnas

Come check out my talk today at 11:00 in the Flagstaff room! I’ll be showing our discovery of a novel DNA mycovirus and its interaction with its Chytrid host! #MSAfungi2023
