I have a fabulous undergrad who has a lot of experience with QIIME2 & using R to analyze microbiome data. She is looking for a job starting in January. Would love to learn more bench and field skills (will be getting some in her last 2 months). Open to academic, industry, government jobs in the US.

Save the dates!! @bspparasitology.bsky.social Spring Meeting 2026 will be in Bonnie Glasgow! 7-9 April 2026, with a drinks reception in Glasgow City Chambers on the 6th of April 2026!
Keep an eye on the BSP website for registration and abstract submission!

📣 New paper: Organ-specific microbiomes of Biomphalaria snails

📋 Snails, vector of blood flukes, have specific microbe communities associated with their organs. Whole snail microbiome is not the true composite of these microbiomes. 🧵👇

A late #NationalSnailDay 🧪

Let's continue National Snail Day Shellebrations with the snails in short series, where I collaborated with @franzanth.bsky.social 🐌🦑 #nationalsnailday

first up some snail basics

Make sure you, your trainees, and anyone else who might listen to you understands what "indirects" actually are, how they are established, and what Universities contribute. H/T @rodallab.bsky.social

Time for an #introduction!

I'm a Staff Scientist at #TxBiomed working on:
• #schistosome blood fluke (drug resistance, host specificity, etc.) using #genetics and #genomics
• #microbiome 🦠 of snail 🐌 vectors of schistosomes

I do #bioinformatics 💻 using #bash, #R, and #python.

See y'all around!
