Professionally playing with plasmids!
Postdoc-ing until someone here scouts me for a PI position ;)
Princeton EEB -> Harvard Medical School -> Soon ETH Zürich!

Oh my god why am I actually crying?
This is it!!! This is the work I never want to stop hearing about. Kepler’s creativity and curiosity really shine through in this paper. Give it a read and enjoy 😎
Dr. Indra Gonzalez Ojeda gave a great thesis defense this morning, including some wisdom for starting PhD students, or frankly, anyone.
1/9 New preprint from the Sternberg Lab in collaboration with the Nishimasu Lab! We uncover how the DRT3 antiphage immune system pairs two reverse transcriptases, one RNA-templated and one protein-templated, to build a double-stranded DNA effector. doi.org/10.64898/202...
This Plasmid Project was directly inspired by the results on multilevel selection that Dan introduced me to! In this thread he explains some fundamental theoretical results that were so influential to me as a Scientist. Looking forward to more Math-driven experiments!!! Thanks Dan!
By the way, Zurich people lets get coffee!
The best dude:
This has been an intense, crazy week. My plasmid competition paper is finally out and we have a new preprint on Bioarxiv! Plus I'm leaving the US after 10 years here. See you soon America! Hello Zurich!!!

What is the best strategy to win any contest?
Eliminate your opponents of course.
Recently, my friend @fernpizza.bsky.social showed how plasmids compete intracellularly (check out his paper published in Science today!). With @baym.lol, we now know they can fight.
