Microbiology, Genetics, and Immunology Ph.D. student at Michigan State University, studying coral reef bleaching in the Quinn lab 🪸🧬🔬
I had a lovely time presenting my poster on the metabolomics of coral bleaching at the MANA 2025 conference in Banff!

Now that July is over, the 2025 spawning season should be finished…until next year! 🪸
From the Red Cedar to Kāne‘ohe Bay, MSU, Duke, and Hawaiʻi researchers - including MGI's Rob Quinn and Sarah VanDiepenbos - have discovered that corals can pass heat resistance to their offspring—offering new hope for reef survival in a warming world.

I had the privilege of joining the Coral Resilience Lab at Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology last month to help with collection of coral spawn! Check out this article about it, from MSU's Connor Yeck:

My lab got some new coral frags recently, and check out those long sweeper tentacles! Also featuring a guest appearance from our Tang fish, named Wu 🪸🐠

I’ve officially joined my dissertation lab in the Quinn lab at Michigan State University! I’ll be studying coral bleaching and how to prevent losing our corals in the face of climate change.

My Valentine this year is Komagataeibacter! This genus of bacteria has all kinds of uses, including being featured in Paris Fashion Week last year. These pellicles are from Komagataeibacter hansenii ❤️

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth.
It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.
