Thrilled to share my thesis work with help from many great collaborators on how ISG15-modification of actin regulator serves to control intracellular microbial offense. Thanks to my amazing mentor @lradoshevich26 for compiling this detailed thread: “https://t.co/ayOl3wsiqe”

@lradoshevich26 @UIowaMicrobio 😭 my goodness I will need to practice hard not to cry on Thursday…

This is your annual reminder that any piece of data that matters to you should be backed up in triplicate. My preference: one in the cloud, one on an external drive in a stationary place, and one on the local drive.

Friends don’t let friends lose data.

Tell me what your research is about using emojis only

Did not expect Pseudomonas to have such an aggressive personality 🤯😨... It’s absolutely horrifying and fascinating at the same time. This also reminds me of how antibiotics were first discovered. What a beautiful and thought-provoking piece of work!

Suicidal chemotaxis in bacteria!
Now officially published!
We found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa crawls towards lethal antibiotcs.
This was a super cool project to work on and I'm stoked to see it out!
Check out the preprint thread for details!

@CJTIsAScientist @RossTAPedersen I might be too smoll for you to notice, but I will definitely be nodding along aggressively too!
