1/ Excited to share the first preprint from my lab! 🎉

My postdoc Paz asked how cholera toxin (CT) helps Vibrio cholerae thrive in the gut.

Turns out, CT rewires epithelial metabolism toward L-lactate production—fueling pathogen growth in the small intestine during disease
Cholera toxin-induced disease generates epithelial cell-derived L-lactate that promotes Vibrio cholerae growth in the small intestine
Cholera toxin (CT) promotes Vibrio cholerae colonization by altering gut metabolism to favor pathogen growth. We have previously found that CT-induced disease leads to increased concentrations of L-la...

Science has more than doubled our life expectancy, revolutionized our quality of life, and powered unprecedented technological advancement. But can we afford to take scientific progress for granted? What happens when science funding is slashed, diversity is suppressed, and pseudoscience takes hold?

Measles virus is closely related to the virus that caused rinderpest in cattle. Bayesian molecular clock-modeling suggests that measles originated as a zoonosis as a consequence of urbanization and diverged from rinderpest in the 6th century. The first clinical description is from Rhazes in 910.
RFK Jr.’s allies are claiming measles is actually a government bioweapon—and requires a hundred-dollar cure for it.

To be clear, measles is not a bioweapon. It is a disease that’s been around since the ninth century.

DEI is under attack, but the stakes are higher than many realize. Universities *must stand firm* in defending it. I lay out why in my latest piece for Nature.

Silence is complicity. Without DEI, we fail our students, our research, and our future.
