Headed to DC just as soon as I finish packing… #asm2026 #orangeboy
Absolutely loved my (brief) time in this department! Postdocs on the academic job market, check out this position!!!!
Gearing up for my first visit to @asm.org conference since 2011 in New Orleans, when it was called the General Meeting! I’m participating in a panel called: “Poster to Paper — Ask the Experts” on Sunday, June 7 from 11:15am–12:00pm ET. Hope to see you there or at your poster/session(s)!!! 🫡 #asm2026
The M&I department/community at Dartmouth is fantastic. Apply!
Thank you to the Allegheny Branch of ASM for a Peggy Cotter Travel Award to attend #asm2026 in DC! 🙏 Postdocs and early career faculty, check it out via your local ASM Branch: asm.org/travel-award...
Finally out! Biofilm ecology cannot forget their spatial structure 🦠🌏
Here we look at cm-scale diversity across controlled and uncontrolled conditions and quantify the effect of different sampling methods on the understanding of biofilm ecology

From zoo wildlife to museum collections, the Smithsonian Institution reveals how microbes shape life across ecosystems. Don’t miss this first-of-its-kind session at #ASMicrobe 2026: eppro01.ativ.me/web/planner....
The event is also open to the public! Register here: myasm.asm.org/eweb/Dynamic...
🎊 New Preprint from phagefoundry.org ! Super excited to share our latest work on generating systematic phage-MDR P. aeruginosa interaction dataset & use of ML to predict phage susceptibility & phage cocktails from target genome sequences alone, w validations www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
Rather: small N + strong selection = beneficial mutations linked to DNA repair mutants that ⬆️ mutation supply
