Another great day of science dissemination 👩‍🔬 I had a blast showing how immune gene expression can be a proxy for host competence in Peromyscus mice – key reservoirs of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria causing Lyme disease. 🦠🐁 Download the paper here: bit.ly/4k9wbKC

Exciting News! I’m thrilled to share that this fall I’ll be joining the University of West Alabama as an Assistant Professor of Biology in Livingston, AL! Get ready for the launch of the Assis Lab, where we’ll be diving into some very cool herpetological research 🐸
