So much for diversifying the funding sources for my lab...

Would love to be added! Currently training for CIM. Found a nice route that I hadn't run today.

Also, I do some viral genomics on the side ;)

It was so great to catch up with @bkoskella.bsky.social about work and life after #VEGA24. We even got a capsid shaped imprint on a napkin. Coincidence? I think not 🤓

As a former @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social grad student, I have never felt like this much of a VIP. Parking in the Lower Sproul lot! Thanks #VEGA24!

Very cool talk by @lukehillary.bsky.social from Joanne Emerson's lab at @ucdavis.bsky.social on soil RNA viromics. Showing DMSO improves RNA virus recovery in all viral realms - not just dsRNA.

Always cool when work from our lab (led by Alex Wilcox) is useful in other applications!

Excited to be at the @jgi.doe.gov Viral Ecogenomics meeting.

@simrouxvirus.bsky.social presenting the best looking poster award trophies ever!

Thanks to the organizers for the invite!
