Taken from the NYT article re: today’s ACIP vote on the combo MMRV vaccine.

This would truly be comical if it weren’t real life.

Officially finished out #ASV2025 with the best crew!

What a privilege it was to spend 4 full days totally immersed in learning about the incredible research being done across the globe.

Come see me at #ASV2025 P26-14 tonight!

(a couple of rookies moves on my 1st poster session go: over ironed & a little big for the space BUT it made it here!)

Let’s GO!

📍Olive et Gourmando

Another great breakfast spot. Lattes were heavenly as was the sweet ricotta with honey & orange zest.

I think my husband enjoyed his French toast too, but I cannot report on this as he didn’t share.

📍Rôtisserie la lune

This family style rotisserie recently received the Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction for being accessible yet exceptional food.

The cucumber salad was to die for.

Oh, and that’s me in 📍Old Montréal looking for shade. Turns out, we brought Maryland heat + humidity with us. Sorry!

📍Marche Atwater

This spot reminded me of Pike Place. Large outdoor market with everything you could possibly crave or imagine.

📍September Cafe

Best pancakes I’ve ever had. Excellent cortado too.

We were told by a local last night, “you must eat there for breakfast. Locals will stand in line for hours just to get into that place.”

He wasn’t wrong. By the time we finished, there was a line down the street to get in.

📍Little Burgundy

The Urban Science Brass Band

Absolutely loved these guys.

📍Liverpool House in Little Burgundy

Pictured:

1. outdoor park & library/bookstore
2. the husband & my lobster spaghetti - delish.

Little Burgundy is a very cool neighborhood. Live music everywhere. Running & biking club meet ups. Excellent dining.

📍Terrasse William Gray

Food was excellent.
Views are stunning.
Reservations needed.

I’m told by locals that this is *the* place to view weekly Thursday night fireworks display put on by the city.

Bonjour, Montréal!

Officially ready for #ASV2025

Some favorites from two 📍Catonsville No Kings events today.

People driving by were overwhelmingly supportive & many had their cars decorated in support. It is an ever-welcome reminder that most people stand against this administration & the atrocities they are committing.

I was too scared of oncoming buses to get better photos, but #Baltimore turned out against Kevin Roberts of Project2025.

No fascists welcome!

I know, I know. Science is under attack. The future of *waves hand around…* everything feels very uncertain.

So going to try and celebrate the wins where I can…

Received word that my 1st abstract has been accepted for what will be my 1st ever poster presentation. 🙂

📍District 1 Town Hall (Woodlawn HS)

If you can attend a town hall in your district in-person or by livestream - please do so.

The dominos from this admin’s egregious actions are falling all around, and it’s not a matter of if - but when - it’ll impact you too. 1/n

#StandUpForScience 2025 was incredible.

Facts will always prevail and fascism will inevitably fail. It’s a long and challenging road ahead, but we’ll get there friends.

Also, shout out to my boss for the screenshot of me & my labmate waving to the livestream just before Bill Nye came on! 😆

Ready to #StandUpForScience tomorrow in DC!

I tried to think of something clever, but opted for a simple yet direct message.

Happy 2nd Birthday to the goodest boy ❤️

A view from the lab.

Choosing to focus on things like this sunset over West Baltimore instead of the newsfeed today.
