More microbial excitement to see Karen Lloyd speak at #ASMicrobe. #VeryImportantMicrobiologist. #MicrobialHero.
The late Elio Schaechter was a true #MicrobialHero of mine. I'm, um, not at the top of the academic trophic pyramid in microbiology, but he ALWAYS treated me with kindness and respect. My wife Jenny painted these #LuxPortraits. I love the smiling ones. He could be such an imp!
Missing Elio Schaechter already. A long and eventful life, loving friends and family, and remembered more important microbiology in his 90s than I will ever know. Such a #MicrobialHero, but more to the point, a fine and kind human being. May his memory be a blessing to all.
Rita Colwell is a true #MicrobialHero to me. Here is her excellent book, and a #LuxPortrait of Rita, painted by @swirlgirl31415, using luminous bacteria. #VIM @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
Missing Ed. #MicrobialHero
Happy #InternationalWomensDay
A true #MicrobialHero of mine, Esther Lederberg. I knew her a little bit in graduate school so long ago, and learned a LOT about this history of molecular microbiology, and her role in super important fundamental experiments. @ASMicrobiology
Today, I am thinking of my #MicrobialHero Elio Schaechter. I respect his example so much, and am grateful for all of his support across many years. @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
I am a microbiologist today because of Ed. I began to see myself as a scientist after joining his lab as an undergrad @UConnMCB. His mentorship is reflected in mine today... He is a #MicrobialHero!
Thinking about one of my #MicrobialHeroes, the late great Ed Leadbetter. He was an instructor of mine when I took the MBL Microbial Diversity course at Woods Hole so long ago. He was so kind and supportive…and so very influential in my professional life. Miss you, Ed.
Last time I was in the Netherlands, I visited Delft and had a lovely tour with Leslie Robertson. She showed me some old lyophils made by my #MicrobialHero Beijerinck. I told her I yearned to own such an item. She chuckled and showed me his notebooks, written by his own hands.
I showed my #Bio350 #Micronauts the lovely ASM video about the late great Carl Woese. I wish I had one of those autorad films framed. Can you imagine? I also wish ASM would make more recent videos about Names in microbiology. #MicrobialHero #Woese @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
Nice to have lunch and conversation with @hgblair2205 and her husband Mike today. I brought gifts, of course, but Heidi brought *me* a 3D printed tardigrade, in UT-Knoxville Volunteer color. Gosh , but I like and respect Heidi! #MicrobialHero @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
It's also the great and indispensable Elio Schaechter's birthday today. I cannot emphasize how much of a #MicrobialHero Elio is to me, and how much I appreciate his kindnesses and mentoring. Elio, I wish the very best. #LuxArt by @swirlgirl31415. @ASMicrobiology
Reminding myself of my @swirlgirl31415's fabulous #LuxPortrait of the much-missed Carl Woese. Painted with living light.... #CarlWoese #MicrobialArt #SciArt #MicrobialHero @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
THAT is someone who knows mentoring, kindness, proportion, and basic humanity. My experience with him gave me hope I could maybe make it as an academic. A true #MicrobialHero. The award is “richly” deserved!! 2/2
Thinking about the late, great Ed Leadbetter. Ed and Abigail Salyers were my instructors in the Microbial Diversity class so long ago. He was like a #ScienceDad to me, and I owe him so much. #MicrobialHero Thanks to @swirlgirl31415 for making this shrinky dink of Ed
Thinking of the great Rita Colwell today. My wife @swirlgirl31415 made this #LuxPortrait using marine luminous bacteria as "paint." Rita was, and is, awesome. #MicrobialHero @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
So happy to see this biography of Rita Colwell. When she was director of the NSF, one of my grants was treated poorly, sneering a bit about my small liberal arts institution (and myself). Rita called *me* to assure me I would be treated fairly, and with respect. #MicrobialHero.
@BriegelAriane I can’t wait to get mine. Rita Colwell is a #MicrobialHero of mine. @swirlgirl31415 did a #LuxPortrait of Rita with luminous bacteria. @ASMicrobiology
