Excited to share our newest paper from Sean Buskirk (former postdoc, now assistant professor at West Chester University) and Alecia Rokes (former undergrad, now grad student with Vaughn Cooper (see: vscooper@bsky)). elifesciences.org/articles/62238

My abiding hope—my abiding prayer—is that we emerge from this ordeal with a new wisdom. To cherish simple moments. To imagine new possibilities. And to open our hearts just a little more to one another.

Today—on International Holocaust Remembrance Day—we remember the six million Jews, and the Roma and Sinti, Slavs, disabled persons, LGBTQ+ individuals, and many others, murdered by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.

🦠🧡 First author paper 🥲 & great collab with amazing scientists. hfpenalo James Budnick @HayleyN0rdstr0m @wbain19 & my awesome co-mentor Daria Van Tyne ✨ iai.asm.org/content/early/…

"Virus fight club"... yep its quoted. First time being quoted, I think it's going to be hard to beat. Check it out here: www2.lehigh.edu/news/evolution…

Purim is an important reminder to all of us that even during challenging times goodness will prevail. Happy Purim to all who are celebrating!

The number of Jews in the world, 14.7 million, is greater than ever before in my lifetime. Israel has the highest birthrate of any advanced nation. Yet there are 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 2 million fewer Jews in the world than there were before the #Holocaust. #YomHashoah #NeverForget

On #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we remember the six million Jews, and millions more, who perished in the Holocaust. As we mourn the victims and honor the survivors, we must continue to speak out against bigotry and prejudice wherever we encounter it. #NeverAgain #YomHaShoah

I won trivia at #ASMicrobe while the @binningsingletons.com on bluesky got together & QIAGEN gave the winners a neat game - Gut Check. My microbiology friends & I are very much enjoying this. Alecia Rokes Ally Duray 🦠🧫
