Flat to negative federal funding for research implicitly cedes leadership in research, development, and IP to China. It’s a national security issue. Tell your representatives and don’t let them off the hook.
It's official. Thanks to the MIRA grant, my lab gets to live to fight another day (or, more accurately, five years :). We are now actively recruiting. Please spread the word and reach out if you are interested doing a postdoc with me. One position is available jointly with Terry Hwa's lab. Exciting!
Great season all around, especially considering my first year in MI they went 0-16! Go Lions!

About a year and a half ago, I wrote about a pair of papers posted on the bioRxiv preprint website. Both papers examined the evolution of the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) in the LTEE popula...
Our newest paper was published today, a capstone to our work on gain-of-function evolution, phage-bacterial interaction network formation, and microbial diversification.
Rather than a slow, gradual process as Darwin envisioned, biologists can now see how evolutionary changes unfold on accelerated timescales. Using an arms race between bacteria and viruses, researchers...
In my lab it’s the younger gen pushing 4 translation. Makes sense, they grew up in less stable times. Also in my group there are arrows from fundamental to applied, back to fund, then back to appl. I think the back and forth is productive, so hopefully there remains space for the arrow back to fund.
One arm, two symbols of LGTBQ+ progress. 9 years ago and I could not have had that wedding ring, and until 9 days ago I could not donate blood. Let’s keep moving forward!!!
This is a great place to research! To live? That depends.
