Anna Whitfield, Terry Dermody & I (but let's be honest, mostly Anna) wrote about how plant viruses threaten coffee, chocolate, wine & more. Read about coffee ringspot, cacao swollen shoot, & grapevine leafroll/red blotch. Longer piece coming in Annual Review of Virology. thehill.com/opinion/ener...

Beyond excited to be selected for the 2026 BWF Path Award. Thanks to my mentors for their support. A special thanks to the trainees in my group who help make this possible. Just overjoyed by the news!!!
Many thanks to our co-authors—this was a huge team effort with some insane time points! And I can’t say enough about John Brooks: a fantastic scientist and an even better human. Very thankful for this crew!
New preprint from our collaboration with John Brooks’ lab: Viral loads can vary by more than 100-fold depending on the time of day mice are infected. And we figured out why. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
