All smiles at our virtual lab group meeting today! We are stopping all non-essential experimental work and hunkering down at home. Looking forward to many more video conferences, coffee breaks, and journal clubs with these amazing, smart, and resilient people!

nature.com/articles/s4146… Increasing conjugation efficiency in systems with CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease activity! I found this quite relevant, as CRISPR editing continues to develop on a more popular scale in the field of genetic engineering.

sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… Model organisms capable of interacting with a complex plasmid delivery system. Really impressive method of consuming, transforming, and recycling aromatic pollutants.

biorxiv.org/content/biorxi… Another impressive conjugative method recommended to me earlier this week; utilizing a sand filter model to degrade ground water pollutants as an economically efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to advanced oxidation.

Look mom, I'm in the news! U.S. News article about exciting work our group is doing tracking covid infection dynamics in Houston via wastewater. usnews.com/news/best-stat…

Our team's preprint is out! Proud of this amazing team and our accomplishments in monitoring wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 to inform public health interventions in Houston Houston Health Dept BCM Tailor Labs medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Extremely excited to share my lab group's COVID-19 preprint! We are thrilled to showcase the timely wastewater based epidemiology project we've been developing at Rice University. So proud and thankful for my team and the Houston Health Department medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our preprint (led by Zach LaTurner!) comparing 5 methods for concentrating SARS-CoV-2 from wastewater (TL;DR: electronegative filtration is our method of choice!) medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Gnoz Prashant Kalvapalle @helloyesiskiara Tessa Crosby Priyanka Ali BCM Tailor Labs

And last in this session for something completely different, how can we stimulate DNA transfer in order to improve bioremediation By Tessa Crosby from Rice University #mewe2021
