Wooo tried again at a different pharmacy last night and got it - and the flu jab, too. Glad it worked this time! Feeling relieved, if still angry that a repeat attempt was necessary. Nobody should have to jump through hoops to protect themselves and their community.

Thanks, Vivek! The biggest challenge now is deciding which phage to tackle next. Hope all is well!

It was a pleasure to collaborate with you all! Here’s to many more fun projects in the coming years 🥂

Thanks :)
Structural biology is equal parts art and science, for sure!

Huge thanks to our many collaborators, near and far, who helped push the science to the next level.

And, especially in these times, thank you to the NIH for funding this research and me as an early career scientist. It has made a world of difference in my life.

I delighted in every step of this project, from cesium-banding the phages to choosing a color scheme and polishing the figures. What a treat that I get to do this for the rest of my career!

Yeah, I did indeed assume these were eukaryotic viruses… thanks for the nudge to look again! Phage diversity just blew my mind again!

Definitely hope to see some tailed phages represented soon too. Long & flexible, short & stubby, contractile… so much room for creativity!

Oooo maybe I missed them (I just searched “phage” in the search bar) - let me look again! Thanks!

Thanks!

I, too, love phages and am eternally grateful that my autocorrect has learned that about me!
