About a year ago I expanded to a new research area in wild cider fermentations. Spearheaded by my recently graduated, talented student Eileen (now interviewing for PhD programs), our first publication from something that started with an in house 🍎 ferment

Posters done at #ABRCMS2023. I'm proud of my team and all the effort they demonstrated the last couple days 🥲

C. diff 🦠 produces iron storage organelles to cope with massive changes in nutrient iron levels experienced during gut inflammation. New work from @hualiang2018 and Rong Sun in collaboration with @QiangjunZhou published in @Nature. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Interested in sharing your knowledge of micro? Our dept at Sac State is looking for adjunct instructors in gen micro, med micro/infect disease, and parasitology. Individuals with a Ph.D. related to these areas encouraged to enter the adjunct pool. DM me for app info. 🧪
Disappointed hearing that at a conference meant to promote inclusivity another PI berated my undergrad student's poster and proceeded to call me a bad mentor. Reminder, this behavior has huge negative consequences for new trainees that are just excited for their first conference.
Looking forward to a productive summer with some talented undergrads! Here, Cassidy, recipient of a Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) award @sacstate, and Citlalli are investigating sporulation of commensal Clostridia 🦠in a low oxygen environment. 🧫
I only drank from this bottle when I submitted grades. 7 semesters in, looks like I need a new bottle... looking forward to many more bottles at Sac State. #StingersUp
Strong lab presence at the @sacstate NSM Fall Undergrad Poster Symposium. First time presenters Mia, Morgan, Stephanie, Wendy, and Osmara did an amazing job! #ProudPIMoment 🥲

It's Fall, which means the return of Food Micro @sacstate. In their first experiments students are investigating microbial community ecology in kombucha and local @NicasioCheese 🧀. Inspiration taken from the work of @LupoLabs. 🧪
