When I was in middle school, I remember the pure feeling of wonder when I saw the microbial world wriggling around in pond water🦠🔬Hoping to be that spark✨for the next generation. Thanks to Reach for the Stars @RiceUniversity for having us over to share our love of microbes!

Thanks to @GCCAMR for the opportunity to share recent updates on my Klebsiella project! Having fun connecting with local colleagues working on abx resistant pathogens ☺️ #GCCAMR26

@RonitSchwartz99 @BrodskyIgor @pennvet @ScienceAdvances Congrats Ronit, so excited to see this out!!

[Rina Matsuda @RinaDoesScience]

@microcallahan @NIH @NIAIDFunding @berger_lab @JohnsonLabUTK Congrats, so exciting!! 🤩🙌

[Rina Matsuda @RinaDoesScience]

@FleemanLab @microcallahan @ValeriaMReyes Great meeting you and learning about your work! Hope to see you again!

[Rina Matsuda @RinaDoesScience]

Had so much fun at #GRCToxPath!! My favorite conference among a wonderful trainee community. Thanks to our amazing GRS co-chairs @microcallahan and @ValeriaMReyes, hope to see everyone again in two years!!

[Sean Callahan, PhD @microcallahan]

Just like that, the GRS/GRC Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity meeting comes to a close! So happy I was able to catch up with old friends and create new ones! See everyone in 2 years!

[Dr. Sunny Shin @SunnyShinLab]

Wonderful time seeing friends & meeting new ones at #GRCtoxpath! Many thanks to @DrBadBug, @TorresVJ_Lab, @ValeriaMReyes, & @microcallahan for a fantastic GRC/GRS! Truly honored to be elected as the next vice-chair. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next one in 2026!

@Marisa_Egan11 @swarthmore Congrats Marisa, so excited for you!! 😄

[Rina Matsuda @RinaDoesScience]

@KarenLXu_ @BrodskyIgor @SunnyShinLab @JennaJZhang Thanks Karen, hope you’re well! 😊

[Rina Matsuda @RinaDoesScience]

Excited to share the second half of my thesis project! Thanks to my wonderful mentor @BrodskyIgor, @SunnyShinLab, and co-first authors Daniel and @JennaJZhang for being by my side for every experiment. Thread of findings: (1/n)

[Journal of Experimental Medicine @JExpMed]

Collaborative study by @BrodskyIgor & @SunnyShinLab led by co-1st authors @RinaDoesScience, Daniel Sorobetea & @JennaJZhang uncovers a TNF-IL-1 signaling circuit in monocytes that controls intestinal Yersinia infection. https://t.co/9Hhi8wPuTk

@SaraDiRienzi Fight the urge to isolate the microbe 😂

[Rina Matsuda @RinaDoesScience]

@jduncanlowey @BrodskyIgor @SunnyShinLab @JennaJZhang Aw thanks for following our work, hope you like this paper too!

[Rina Matsuda @RinaDoesScience]

@mayer_barber Overall, this work reveals a TNF-IL-1 signaling circuit that promotes control of Yersinia by monocytes in intestinal pyogranulomas. Thanks to all of my lab mates, collaborators, and mentors for your support! (7/n)

[Rina Matsuda @RinaDoesScience]

@mayer_barber Interestingly, IL-1 receptor was required on non-immune cells, similar to IL-1 signaling on epithelial cells being important for control of Legionella. https://t.co/R5V2LBvNIE. Future work will identify the specific cell type involved. (6/n)
