I'm a Lecturer at Amherst College, interested in inclusive teaching, science communication, and bacterial DNA replication and repair. (she/her)
Some really great reads and rereads this month (I'm finally ready to read Oathbound!). I also read James by Percival Everett and loved it.

A couple of other great February reads were Skin of the Sea by Natasha Bowen and Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman!

January has been real rough, so, as usual, I threw myself into reading. I had a really amazing reading month. A couple of honorable mentions that I enjoyed, but are not included in the graphic: Pritty by Keith F Miller Jr. and One Life by Megan Rapinoe. #booksky

Justyne Odgahl successfully defended! Her paper was also just accepted at JBC, check it out to learn about allostery and DNA binding in the Lon protease! #microsky

🎉 It's great to see this out! We performed a proteomics survey of the Caulobacter DNA damage response and learned some interesting things! YaaA!

I'm a new Biology/Biochemistry lecturer at Amherst College. I'm interested in inclusive teaching and universal design, DNA replication and repair, and microbial stress responses! I'm also an avid fiction reader, especially of science fiction and fantasy.
