I have loved Microbiology since I got that microscope for Christmas, which was not all that long after that photo was taken. I still have the microscope…the boyhood looks, not so much.

Happy birthday to our co-founder, Dr. Jan Vilcek! From growing up in Bratislava to making life-changing breakthroughs in the lab at NYU Langone, Jan’s story is one of curiosity, courage, and a whole lot of heart.

We’re lucky to work alongside him to celebrate immigrant contributions to the U.S.

Remember, many recommendation letters you were asked to fill out are due December 1st (many emails DON'T say this for whatever stupid reason). That is before you return to work after Thanksgiving since it is so late. Do it before you eat that Turkey. The students will have less indigestion.

Believe it or not, GRC has told me we need more registered applicants or this meeting might not survive! Please don't let that happen if you can afford to attend 🙏
If you're interested in learning about the latest of fundamental mycobacteriology, sign up for #GRCMyco2025! Acceptances will start in September, check out the full program and please RT!
