I should edit my out of office response to explain why I am on leave. It is because I am busy with this baby, who is busy making pooping faces.

Friends don't let friends make bad charts! Chenxin Li, pulled together a lot of great advice for data visualization, with clear "do this, not that" examples for each item. Here are a few of my favorites, see the link below for more.

Delighted that @NCIResearchCtr chose our "SSHEL" technology as a 2023-2024 Milestone! Spores of the humble #Bacillus subtilis have come a long way (and still have much to offer!). Stay tuned for new reports of SSHELs being used to deliver peptide vaccines, RNA, and more...

The students from my lab course made me these adorable animals ❤️❤️❤️. I’m going to miss them - they meshed into such a tight-knit group by the end of the semester and always had loads of enthusiasm for class and really great questions!

I’m definitely going to have a proper abstract and title this year … I’m just … I’m just having a hard time coming up with one ok

I’ll be presenting at #ASMMicrobe on Friday morning. If you are going, send me talk schedules and post numbers.

Headed to ASM Microbe? Don’t miss the #regulatoryRNA symposium on Sunday, 1:45pm with storzlab Mike Gebhardt Paul Briaud Sahar Melamed 💔 Shai Zilberzwige-Tal Dan Bar Yaacov!!

New preprint from our lab @NCIResearchCtr ! We found that Staph aureus evolves tolerance to pyocyanin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa via CodY mutations. This project was started by sara as the lab's first postbac, and then led by Tony Martini #Saureus #Paeruginosa 1/2

🤣🤣 my tip selection is manic, yet 👯‍♀️with Mona Wu Orr (perfect columns) - it’s possible!!

I found these hanging on my office door this morning! From Jen Greenwich 🧫🦠🧬 delivered by Tommy Tashjian!

Congrats to Soo-Kyoung Kim, Vince Lee, Wade Winkler, and Holger Sondermann! I did a tn suppressor screen ... then graduated & left it in the freezer. It's been great hearing the progress of this elegant diribonucleotide degradation story over the years! tinyurl.com/5n8345h3

Thrilled to announce that I’ve accepted a Stadtman tenure-track position in NIAID Laboratory of Bacteriology in Bethesda, MD and named a NIH Distinguished Scholar!!! #ResearchingSpirochetes NIAID News
