New cures feel sudden, but the seeds were planted decades ago by basic scientists. Which seeds will turn into cures? Unpredictable looking forward, a straight line looking back. 🧪🧬 🧵

Check out my recent publication on how zinc and quorum sensing affects cyclic di GMP in V. cholerae. share.google/JaOJv48OAhH4...

I'm back home with my dad and have thoughts about being an Indigenous scientist and academic. I'm writing this in real time so it might get disrupted and will have typos. I am fairly successful by academic standards. I have a tenure track job, wrote papers, have grant funding, mentor students.

Excited to attend my first ASM microbe this year at LA. Will be presenting my postdoctoral work from Waters lab on "Zinc regulation of cyclic di-GMP in V. Cholerae" in Room 408B from 3.30-3.45 on June 20th. Looking forward to seeing you all there. #asm2025

Excited to be representing the Waters lab alongside @aathmaja.bsky.social at #ASMicrobe! Interested how phages use contingency loci as bet hedging strategy? I’ll be talking about this Sat 6/21 from 10-10:15am at “Predicting Microbial Evolution” 403A, LACC

I wrote this in a week where it felt like professoring while parenting (and equally, parenting while professoring) was impossible. This feeling ebbs and flows. Seems like Mothers Day is as good a time as any to share, maybe it will help someone else feel less alone. The More Paradox 1/8

Check out my recent work from Waters lab where we delineated the role of zinc in the regulation of phosphodiesterase that cleave cyclic di-GMP in V.cholerae. thanks to all the collaborators who helped shape this work. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
