Very excited to announce our paper using a functional selection to identify 21 (!) new anti-phage defense systems including some new TA systems. Led by a fantastic postdoc, Chris Vassallo, with major input from @ChrisDoering3. Lots to follow up on...
I am thrilled to be working with @ChrisDoering3 in the coming years. Congrats to him and all the others that received Gilliam Fellowships! I'm excited to meet this cohort of amazing scientists and their advisors through this program.
Congrats to our new HHMI #GilliamFellows: @DanteMAvalos from @Drennan_Lab and @ChrisDoering3 from @michael_laub8’s lab! These adviser-student pairs are conducting outstanding research while being committed to building a more inclusive scientific ecosystem: https://t.co/UNAbaH2Ws3
Excited to join the Gilliam community! I'm so thankful for the support and mentorship of @michael_laub8, can't wait to see what the next few years bring! #GilliamFellow

Very excited about our latest work on TA systems, a huge body of work by @michele__leroux, with @jane_yliu @pculviner @LittlehaleMegan. It's long been suggested that TA systems are 'stress-response elements' - they do get transcribed following stress, but they aren't active!
Awesome panel tonight on outdoor conservation. Got to see @tommycaldwell1 in person! Also loved the emphasis on diversity and inclusion in the outdoors!

You: YOU THREW ME DOWN A PIT
Me: so sick of people always bringing up pits
You: YOU THREW ME DOWN ONE
Me: wow victim card much
You: A PIT
Me: that talk's exactly why you got thrown down a pit
