The Suria Lab is officially open! So thrilled to be joining the wonderful biology department @OhioWesleyan and to keep working on the genetics of bacterial competition (in squid 🦑) with amazing undergrads! (Beautiful lab sign is thanks to my postdoc advisor, Alecia Septer ❤️)

They’ve both been looking at antimicrobial activity of crab egg bacteria in the Septer Lab, but Dani also did a summer project mapping wetlands in Ecuador that they’re presenting today!

It’s going to be a great seminar!
Hey look, I'm defending next week! If you'd like a zoom link and you haven't gotten one yet - send me a message! PS I'm also on the job market, interested in science communication, microbial genetics, and bacterial genome evolution :) #PhD #biotech

Researchers show that certain bacteria are required for formation of a female-specific organ in the Hawaiian bobtail squid, providing the 1st example of complete organ development relying on exposure to symbiotic bacteria in an animal host. @mbiojournal: asm.social/11t

Check out @SarahMackAttack’s thread for the highlights of our new paper!
HOT OFF THE PRESS! It's a story of bobtails. The female bobtails have a consortium of bacteria living in many tubes called the ANG. This bacteria is used to protect developing baby squid! What happens when squid grow up without that community nearby? 👇 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Amazing to see this out! This was a huge collaborative project between lots of students in the @spencernyholm lab where each persons neg result (from months of squid raising) got us one step closer to understanding how microbes impact squid development

My SPIRE summer undergrad, Selena Garcia, did a great job presenting at the UNC Summer Programs Poster Session today! It’s been great to continue mentoring her research since my #TinyEarthNCCU class last year!

So proud to see two of my undergrads, Kylie Showalter & Daniela Zarate, presenting at UNC’s Celebration of Undergraduate Research! It’s their first poster and they said “Now we feel like real scientists!” Love to hear it 😊
