I wish these ginormous plates were not so expensive! Can you imagine a 4x4 (or 6x6) set for collaborative #LuxArt??? THAT would be a short lived wall display. #MicrobialArt
When there are people I thought of as friends who don't engage or communicate with me anymore, it's easy to feel badly. But the truth is, I have been well treated and included by so many wonderful people. It's best to focus on that, I believe. Not take the negative personally.
It is time to fill in the left eye. #OvercomingObstacles
The time is growing close for my "phase transition" to Emeritus Associate Professor. If any of the wonderful students with whom I have worked want to contribute, here is a reminder. I am very grateful for each and every one of them.
It’s time for @jennifer.j.quinn and a #LuxArt session tonight. I am not an artist, but I am a trained and successful #MicrobeWhisperer

I am very excited. Etsy vendor AviateHer has created something I will wear on my lapel daily. #MicrobiologyForEveryone. Please buy the heck out of these, #MicrobialEnthusiasts!

There are different levels of fluorescence in these #WaterBottleBuddies. Wonder how the microbes differ? Siderophores?
Today’s talks at Squid Vibrio 2026 are getting kicked off with Marcy Balunas, looking at the chemistry of bacteria living in symbiosis with animals (specifically bobtail squid!) and how temperature is associated with changes in the molecules they create.

A coworker gave this to me as a gift, saying to use it at work — Are they seriously worried about my mental state? 😂
