I'm super excited to spend some time in Tracey Chapman's lab (UEA) learning all aspects of insect handling and infection. I'll then be working with @saskiahogenhout.bsky.social (JIC) on a bioinf project characterising bacterial symbionts in one of her really cool insect collections.

Anyway, it's quite an accomplishment for this Dutch microbiologist to live rent-free in the head of "the greatest microbiologist of all times" (or however he thinks of himself).
He now even writes papers about me!
