Talking about #viruses in #wastewater to a room full of #microbiologists? That’s my idea of fun. 😊
Great discussion today at #ASMMicrobe on phages and viral ecology across human water systems.
If you’re attending the meeting, come by my ASM Studio Talk at 2 PM and let’s talk #phages!
☀️🔥 Nothing says dedication like hauling wetland soil cores under the blazing sun! Huge shout-out to our postdoc Sona and lab tech Danica for braving the heat to bring back samples that hold secrets of microbial life and carbon cycling. 🌱🦠 #fieldwork #wetlands #phages
Excited to be at #ASMMicrobe2026! If you’re here, let’s connect! I’ll be giving a talk in the micro session “Phage Discovery in Human Water Systems,” moderated by Lauren Sanders from Ceres Nanosciences, sharing work on #phages in #human #water systems. Supported by @departmentofenergy.bsky.social
The Tonos lab headed to the field to kick-off a project examining the relationship between Malagasy fruit-eating #birds and fruiting #plants. They seek to understand these relationships in degraded and #protected areas, and how they may recover due to community-led #conservation efforts!
Still buzzing from Evergreen: head-to-head of wastewater phage detection methods. Curious what your lab sees. #Phage #Metagenomics #Cultivation #phagesky #microsky @sfstatebio.bsky.social @berkeleylab.lbl.gov
Microbe 2026 is just over, but it's already time to think about ASM Microbe 2027 ! Excited about specific topics, methods, ideas, or microbes ? Then you should consider submitting a session proposal, and help us shape the program ! Any question ? please reach out, we're here to help ☺️
As always, we end our Bachelor's practical class with an agar art contest using the bright colis from @atinygreencell.bsky.social. As always, lots of beautiful images were created. Meet the winner, the Coli Cougar, our next year's class lab book cover.

I don't generally post about my own work, but if you are looking for a last minute present for the holidays for someone who might be interested in the ocean, my book seems to appeal not only to adults but also to even really little kids. All royalties go to the Smithsonian.
Synthetic biology enables the creation of systems such as bacteriophage (phage)-based biosensors, leveraging the innate specificity and efficiency of phages to rapidly identify pathogens. However, the...
Thank you for being part of ASM Microbe 2026! Save the date for ASM Microbe 2027, taking place June 22–25 in Chicago. Got big ideas? Session proposals open tomorrow—help shape next year’s program and push the microbial sciences forward. #ASMicrobe asm.social/2XY.
