It's Leading Edge Fellow day!!! This day fills me with joy and inspiration. This cohort holds a special place in my heart because it is named for Zara Weinberg, a beloved Leading Edge Fellow who was a visionary scientist and fierce advocate for building a better scientific ecosystem
A get-together of Dartmouth folks at ASM Microbe!

Excited to share the first paper from the Kowalski Lab out in mSphere! My superstar technician Sylvia helped write this review while we were getting the lab set up. We discuss how the skin microbiota generates bioactive lipids in the skin environment. Take a look: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
