In your career, the most valuable currency is not how much you know. It's how well you learn. In a stable world, success depended on building expertise. In a changing world, it hinges on evolving expertise. Potential is no longer defined by ability. It's a function of agility.

Such a pleasure to welcome the global Cryptosporidium community to Philadelphia and ⁦Penn Vet⁩ for the first biannual Cryptosporidium meeting.

Couldn’t agree more!

Day 1 of ⁦VEuPathDB⁩ workshop in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Participants are from all over the country. Thank you to our host, Dr. AMAM Z. Siddiki of the veterinary college in Chittagong. He took the course ⁦UGA CTEGD⁩ last year. Great experience, Great students!

Honored to speak at the Asian University for Women Mahsa Amini campus asian-university.org in Chittagong, Bangladesh as a guest of the Bioinformatics Club and the American Corner Chattogram. The women and the institutional philosophy are such an inspiration. Look them up.

Congratulations to Dr. Rui Xiao! He successfully defended his thesis this week in ⁦UGA Bioinformatics⁩ and ⁦UGA CTEGD⁩. He has made important contributions to our understanding of transcription in Cryptosporidium.

My husband and inner circle got me good last week! My family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and students truly surprised me with a party at a local brewpub, Akademia. Thank you all so much for your friendship and for sharing this journey.

The program of talks for the Molecular Parasitology & Vector Biology Symposium is now available! It's free to attend but we need to make sure we have a seat for you! Please register by April 22! ctegd.uga.edu/events/symposi…

I am thrilled to announce the launch of The Africa HealthTech Podcast!  Join me & my guests as we delve into the fascinating world of cutting-edge healthcare technologies in Africa.  Stay tuned for our first episode which will premiere on World Malaria Day.
