Congrats Dr. Ahmad on an exceptional performance and defense! Be on the lookout for Saadman’s latest study on the neat relationship between peptidoglycan and Lyme disease pathogenesis

Invited to give a talk by graduate students-who DRIVE research nationwide-is easily one of the greatest honors for a PI. It’s even better when one of your former mentees is the host! Thank you Tanner and @harvard.edu Micro for being a bright light in these dark times. 🙏 Science will prevail 💪

May is #Lymedisease awareness month. Spreading the word by sharing our cover image of the new issue of Science Translational Medicine. The issue has two papers that provide a new possible Lyme treatment while enhancing our understanding of Lyme disease symptoms

About to give our 9-month old a bath & felt something on my foot! Meet Dermacentor variabilis (American Dog Tick). This tick species doesnt carry Lyme, but can carry other nasty bacteria
Punch lines: 1) Ticks are out and 2) this was in our fucking bathroom (but prolly came in on dogs)
