I recently worked with @ConversationUS to write a research brief on my recent publication, describing how we use PNA to tackle drug-resistant bacteria!

New technology can create treatment against drug-resistant bacteria in under a week and adapt to antibiotic resistance https://t.co/yzwNZeKY2B

On Friday I successfully defended my dissertation!

[Kristen Eller (she/her) @Keller_124]

I lied. It's working for someone I know with Firefox on a PC but not for me on a mac

[Kristen Eller (she/her) @Keller_124]

FYI for #AIChEAnnual it seems like Firefox works to fix the "too many redirects" issue. Tired Safari, Chrome, Incognito, clearing cookies, etc.

@GallowayLabMIT @MITChemE @Jim_Swan What!?! He was my undergraduate advisor... He was so kind, fun, and caring. I'm in shock

[Kristen Eller (she/her) @Keller_124]

So excited to hear the MIT graduate workers are unionizing!

[MIT Graduate Student Union @MITGradUnion]

We are proud to publicly announce the MIT Graduate Student Union! MIT grad student-workers are unionizing to create a healthy and fair working and learning environment for all, by giving us a voice in the decisions that affect us. (1/4) #MITGSU

[Kristen Eller (she/her) @Keller_124]

Too accurate 😅

Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough to have imposter syndrome.

@blacksciblog Congratulations! This is fantastic!!!

@SuperBugDoc @MethodistHosp Congratulations!!

@Caroline_Bartma Ok now imagine the strap designs!!!!!!!! Curving infinitely upward then, over your thoulder, then back the other direction

[ARMOR @ CU Boulder @cu_armor]

Welcome @Keller_124, our wonderful labmate and researcher! We talk about intracellular infections, or infections where the bacteria enter mammalian cells. We bring back the T3SS, Salmonella, bone infections, and how this all relates back to AMR!

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest public health threats in the world. New research, however, may have found a way to keep up with rapidly evolving bacteria.
@GradBuffs PhD candidate @KristenEller9 shares more about this on @ConversationUS. ⤵

Viele #Antibiotika wirken recht unspezifisch gegen Bakterien. Die Forscherin @Keller_124 @CUBoulder stellt einen Ansatz vor, der es ermöglichen soll, in kurzer Zeit maßgeschneiderte Antibiotika aus synthetischer RNA herzustellen. Via @ConversationUS. #AMR https://t.co/JKrt92jJKq

Same ❤️

[whitney loo @whitneysloo]

seeing case numbers rise and vaccinated people test positive is really fueling the flames of my burnout

it's hard to put your head down and work under the guise that "everything is back to normal" when it's obviously not

[Kristen Eller (she/her) @Keller_124]

@JulieReynolds42 @Caroline_Bartma That is amazing and brings me so much joy!

[Kristen Eller (she/her) @Keller_124]

Similarly, I hate it when I disclose my anxiety to people and they brush it aside as a necessary result of my field or current career path.

If anxiety and depression are common in a field we need to change the field not blame the person!

It's always mesmerizing seeing these cardiomyocytes beat on their own.

What's their theme song🎵? Is Heartbeat song by Kelly Clarkson too on the nose?
