My first ASM Microbe with a PhD! I’ve attended a Gordon as a postdoc but Microbe has been consistent for me throughout my grad school years and this feels extra special! Excited to learn about bugs! 🧫
Preprint of some of my postdoctoral research with @mfrederickson.bsky.social examining the evolution of beneficial microbial symbionts in duckweed www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Conference season is here, and I'll be at #ASMicrobe! Come check out some of my latest results on the honey bee queen microbiome. I'd also love to chat about other ongoing projects on social bee multi-kingdom microbiomes, potential collaborations, or opportunities to join the Caesar Lab at OU : )
Can’t resist... checking for potential VOCs in microbiome interactions, just one more experiment before moving to Oklahoma. Next ones will be at the Caesar Lab at OU :)

Last week I had the pleasure of presenting my thesis work on developing bioinformatics tools and databases for viral gene discovery and classification at the Midwest Microbiome Symposium, hosted at my alma mater, UIUC. It was great to see what microbiome scientists across the Midwest are working on!
The evolutionary immunologist Tera Levin studies how molecular parts isolated from ancient bacterial immune systems can evolve into new tools. www.quantamagazine.org/the-ancient-...
Excited to announce that we are moving the lab to Minneapolis to join the University of Minnesota Department of Microbiology & Immunology and Institute on Infectious Diseases this summer!!
We will be hiring so please reach out if interested in viral evolution, viral immunology, etc.!!
Thrilled to have my first PhD paper with @mmdesai.bsky.social out! @science.org

The existence of viruses as obligate intracellular parasites with high mutation rates sets them apart from other forms of life in fundamental ways. Frequent errors in replication and assembly processe...
Understanding the evolutionary mechanisms that maintain sex despite its direct costs is a long-standing challenge. Previous work has shown that sexual recombination can accelerate adaptation, in part ...
Why is sex so common if it's so costly?
Super excited to share our new preprint “Sex decreases the pleiotropic costs of local adaptation”, where we bring a new angle to this age-old evolutionary question. Co-led by Parris Humphrey, in Michael Desai's lab. Short thread here: (1/n)
