Thrilled to announce that the next chapter of my academic journey will be in Storrs, CT at the University of Connecticut for a PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology! Roll Skies! 🐺

Proud of undergrad @marialovallo.bsky.social who gave a research lightning talk at the @psumbiome.bsky.social Networking Event this afternoon. She's single-handedly driven this collaboration between my and Thomas labs identifying how the microbiome shapes flight phenotypes in Drosophila 🪰

Today I had the opportunity to give a talk on my undergrad research to the One Health Microbiome Center. This was an amazing opportunity to introduce this collab to the center. Huge thanks to the One Health Microbiome Center at PSU, Emily Davenport @erdavenport.bsky.social, and Claire Thomas!
