A great outing today with a delegation of Brazilian researchers and educators at the @UTIAg.

Really enjoyed the conversations, exchanging ideas, and getting to know each other’s work. Excited for future collaboration!

Many thanks to the @utsmithcenter for making it possible.

Grateful to mentor in @ASMicrobiology Future Leaders Mentorship Fellowship over the past 2 years.

The future of #microbiology is in good hands. This program brings together driven, thoughtful early-career scientists & gives them the space to grow.
