Research Communicator @LSU. Striving to make science & health more story-driven, accessible, visual & inclusive! #SciComm blogger, researcher, advisor.
Awesome #science#comic I wrote and Jordan Collver illustrated!
Dive into the world of bacteria and how we can help our immune systems fight the bad ones by messing with their storage of IRON. #sciomm#sciart
What happens when LSU researchers in biology and chemistry tackle the problem of antibiotic resistance? They find innovative new ways, and iron homeostasis pathways, that may serve as the foundation of a future class of drugs! Learn more with our first ever Research Comic! 🦠 @lsuscience@LSUResearch
In a study of microplastics in ocean-floor sediments off the coast of Puerto Rico, Kam-biu Liu @LSU_CCE and others found:
🧃 microplastics in layers dating back to 1950
🧃 heavier microplastics in more recent layers
🧃 Hurricanes leave more deposits

For National DNA day, I wrote a long form story on the history of #DNAsequencing and how it’s changing how we do science, from museum and evolution research to cancer treatments. If you want a good long weekend read, bookmark this! https://t.co/iN62J3MLRK #longread#DNAday
Where did #Pluto get those clustered pits that look suspiciously like gas pockmarks?
@LSU researchers from @LSUplanetary have some possible answers! 💨

This is your brain on... fiber! 🍎
Researchers at @LSUHealthNO are studying how dietary fibers can promote healthy gut microbes that lower brain inflammation in Alzheimer's disease and restore healthy functioning of microglia (brain cells).
What would YOUR microglia look like?
