Congratulations to these wasps who have successfully upcycled one of my old empty birdfeeders. Good work, gang.

Excited to announce that I’ll be joining Iowa State University as an Assistant Professor of Virology this fall! My new lab will officially open its doors in August 2025! 🧪

I’ll be recruiting soon—please reach out if you’re interested in collaboration or training opportunities. 🧬🦟🦇

Super proud of my friend, mentee, and now colleague, Dr. Lily Cohen, MD! 🩺 No doubt she will contribute to advancing public health and infectious disease epi while strengthening transdisciplinary research & providing top patient care ❤️

Has anyone done a BLAST on this sequence?

This week is my first Entomology conference!!! #EntSoc2023

Also, I told Tonkus that I was going to a conference *all about bugs* and he was FURIOUS with me for not bringing him.
