I’m really proud of this collaboration with the Visick lab, and have enjoyed my introduction to the world of biofilms and their regulation!

Developing a new live imaging assay is not trivial—it requires a major time investment and a lot of refinement. But Jeremy remained persistent. He found that calcium concentration and the ability to sense calcium through CasA controls this both biofilm formation dynamics and dispersal timing.

MMPC was the first conference I attended as a new graduate student. Hard to believe I'm serving as a co-chair for it this year! Hoping Jon Allen and the rest of our micro faculty here at Loyola can put on a great event for all of you... and that future MMPC chairs are among the attendees! 😊

Consider a specific example such as merging the National Eye Institute into a larger brain institute. Are eyes part of the brain? Absolutely. Are there different concerns and difficult pools of grantees for eyes compared to other parts of the brain? Most definitely
What are benefits and costs?

I'm still figuring out where my online science community is, and for the time being, will try to crosspost in a few places and see what sticks.

Sequence plasmids, amplicons, colonies, AAV, yeast, and bacterial genomes! Our advanced sequencing delivers comprehensive visibility, higher accuracy, and the ability to detect structural variations and rare mutations that other sequencing methods miss.
