Back from #ASMBiofilm and still energized. The depth and range of biofilm research this year was outstanding. It was great to meet new colleagues and catch up with familiar faces.

Who doesn't want their protein on a pillow!?
Had to say farewell to one of lab members as she returns to the UK to finish school. Thanks for all of your hard work Kira!

Big milestone: just uploaded my first paper to bioRxiv! Our work shows Vibrio fischeri can act as a pathogen, expanding its traditional role as a symbiont. Excited to share and get feedback from the community! #preprint #OpenScience #Research
