My first post here brings lovely news: just heard that all of my NIH and NSF grants were officially terminated today. Have been expecting this for some time, but still jarring to see the news.

Have heard similar news from dozens of colleagues. Will be hard, but we'll find a way forward.

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

I’m excited to share some new work, out now in Nature Communications. We used genomic surveillance data 🧬 to identify mutations that could make SARS-CoV-2 more transmissible.

Hey there! A short intro 🧵: My lab studies evolution (esp. viral pathogens) and the immune system. We often use ideas from statistical physics, which was the focus of my PhD. Here are a few recent highlights to give an idea of the kinds of problems we like to work on. 👇
