As it’s #BlackinMicro Week let me reintroduce myself:
Hi!! 👋🏾 I am Aisha and a 5th year post doc at the NIH and will be transitioning to Assistant Research Professor of Microbiology at Cornell starting Jan. 1st. My research looks at how small proteins help regulate bacterial stress responses.

The hygiene hypothesis has been a major idea floating for a long time. New study shows mice exposed to a more wild microbiome still develop allergies just the same.

Laboratory mice with a wild microbiota generate strong allergic immune responses
Allergen exposure in wildling mice induces robust de novo responses and activates an endogenous memory TH2 cell pool.

My lab's first big research paper is now out in mBio! 🎉
We ask: how can Legionella antagonize other microbes with reactive oxygen species without hurting themselves? Answer: several dynamics seem to generate a 'toxic moat' of ROS around producers
