Bittersweet farewell to lab manager Elizabeth Duan who's been with the group since her freshman year. We'll miss you! I'm so proud of you, and I wish you the best in grad school! 🎓🥲

This looks like Theranos level fraud. The last 16 years of Alzheimer’s research looks to have been built on deliberately falsified data.

It’s why Alzheimer’s drugs have a 99% failure rate in trials. The thing they’re trying to fix isn’t the problem.

@AmyZanne @StevenDAllison There's more to come! ☺️

It's about inclusion. Just walk in any space and count those who still mask--from my experience they are mostly POC and other marginalized groups who understand we live in a society and need to protect and respect each other. I guarantee they will feel safer if you mask back.

I tracked my Covid symptoms! It's crazy how variable the disease is between individuals 😷 l still can't drink anything cold or talk too long without a coughing fit.

[Elizabeth Duan @es_duan]

I will keep wearing my mask in large crowds and around those who are still being cautious. It's not just about preventing outbreaks, it's about respecting those who do not want to get sick or can't afford to get sick.

I finally made it to Australia to see our lovely blocks! ❤️ #WoodTermitesFungi https://t.co/oN0iy1wDAV

[Elizabeth Duan @es_duan]

Dr. Becca!! So grateful I could meet everybody in person and appreciate wood, termites, and fungi together ❤️

[Steven Allison @StevenDAllison]

Celebrating collaboration, termites, and @DrBeccasBugs recent PhD degree! #WoodTermitesFungi

another unexpected skill picked up: plucking grass out of soil cores 🤔

[Elizabeth Duan @es_duan]

Going to take a few days to reflect, but I'd love to write up a report to share my experience applying during a panorama 🥲💖

[Elizabeth Duan @es_duan]

I finally received decisions from all the graduate programs I applied to! 🥳 feeling blessed that I walked out of this process with choices

[Elizabeth Duan @es_duan]

I went home yesterday and cried for an hour before I could bring myself to celebrate, didn't realize how much pent up stress I had from the past year 😭

Am I testing my hypothesis or is my hypothesis testing me?

[Steven Allison @StevenDAllison]

Talks for #ESA2021 are now available, including mine on "Enzymatic mechanisms of wood decomposition in tropical Australia" with @AmyZanne @es_duan and colleagues. Wood species and #fungi matter! https://t.co/aGDQdqDNOw

[Elizabeth Duan @es_duan]

Let's go!! 🥳🥳🥳 #Classof2021 #UCIBioSci

@AmyZanne @StevenDAllison Thank you!!

[Elizabeth Duan @es_duan]

This poster wraps up my undergrad! I'm beyond excited to get to work on this project full time 🪵🍄✨

[Steven Allison @StevenDAllison]

Congratulations to @es_duan who just presented her undergraduate research project on enzymes and decomposition of Australian wood! Still available for viewing here: https://t.co/96Ap1A3iNi
