It's summer defense season! Congratulations to @xannova on her successful defense the other day! 🥳🎉🥳

[Kevin Cabrera @CabreraKevin95]

I'm pleased to share with everyone my most recent work on immune priming in Drosophila using E. faecalis (w/ the amazing @zebabw !) Read more for a story of survival, endurance (not resistance), and more!
