From cheetahs to cheese to urban farms, I learned about many cool microbiomes at the M3: Mid-Atlantic Microbiome Meet-Up last month! For the cheesemongers in your life: @benwolfe.bsky.social is hosting a cheese microbiome workshop, check it out πŸ‘€πŸ§€ #MicroSky #microbiome

Convolutriloba longifissura, one of my favorite aquarium "pests". From our IZ AquaRoom (live culture room). Bright orange is pigment, while the greenish color comes from their symbiotic green algae (Tetraselmis, or Tetraselmis-like). With @abcollens.bsky.social

Myself, a jar of jellies from the lab, and the Hope Diamond. Carrying live jellies is a great way to engage visitors in the halls in conversation about marine biodiversity.

Talking jellies and microbes at the most recent congressional night at the museum. With @abcollens.bsky.social and Cam Oathout (and others not pictured). Got a chance to introduce some of my jellies to the Hope Diamond. #MarineLife outreach is fun

Last week, I had so much fun talking about #microbes, #bioinformatics_education, and my Ph.D. experience at @univofmaryland.bsky.social at #ABRCMS2024! I met so many undergrads doing amazing research and faculty who care about building a resilient and equitable research future in biology.
