Thrilled to share I defended my doctoral dissertation in March and graduated from @BrownUniversity in May! I am so very grateful to all those who have supported and mentored me throughout this journey.

Next, I’ll be pursuing my postdoc training in vaccine immunogen design 1/2

This is an excellent piece from @DrGiroir

Not every virus has a safe, effective vaccine to counter it

Measles does

And there is no good reason for children dying of measles. In US of all places

Relearning the lessons from the last century

I wouldn't be where I'm today if it weren't for NIH programs like ENDURE, PREP and IMSD. Their funding gave me the backing and experience to win a Gilliam Fellowship. Eliminating them for no reason is unjustified. I'll do what I can to continue lifting others UP in my community.

Measles destroys the immune cells that hold our deepest, longest lasting immune protection

It erases a persons immune memory - An Immune Amnesia

@HarvardMagazine interviewed me on how we discovered these lasting impacts that increase risk of mortality for years after measles

I really enjoyed this new book with a fresh take on the iconic scientist Marie Curie. One thing that has been overlooked in her career is that she trained 45 women scientists. Many of the top women in chemistry and physics gravitated to her lab and went on to successful careers.

As I officially begin my Full-Time Tenure-Track position as a Professor of Chemistry, I want to thank my grandmother and my parents. They you are my pillars of strength and motivation. I am grateful that they have always believed in me and stood by my side. Their sacrifices…

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology
