Big congrats to my supervisor and the fearless leader of our lab, Chris Brandl, for being a recipient of the Dean's Award of Excellence Lifetime Achievement Award!! Thanks for being an amazing mentor, scientist and teacher! Brandl Lab Biochemistry

I’ve alienated myself from my lab because I said Jedi is the best of the original Star Wars movies.

We found and characterized a diversity of new RNA regulators in E. coli - great collaboration with storzlab and Joseph Wade!! My first bioRxiv Microbiology submission, check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share the latest Brown Lab Eric Brown work in Cell Reports where we use human serum as a tool to find antibacterial compounds. Great collaboration with Brian Coombes, PhD lab and the Magolan lab McMaster IIDR. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

So it turns out that gel I grabbed Tuesday morning for a northern blot was a native gel that expired 2 years ago. But I saved 6 min not having to image the phosphor screen...

I continue to be amazed by the contribution of physiological bicarbonate to antibiotic action. Very proud of this effort led by Maya Farha. Good fun as always to work with @agmcarthur laboratory. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Draylo VIA Rail Canada Greetings from train 55! A tree fell on us...

So.... The train will not go to union station. They're stopping at Oshawa. Luckily I have the best big brother Mike Ellis who is waiting for me in Oshawa. But so many people made plans with family to get them at Union. This is just bad. Bad bad bad.

Thanks Nasdaq for celebrating our Series D funding announcement in Times Square! It's a significant moment to express gratitude to our incredibly talented team, our customers who continuously challenge us to push the boundaries of innovation, and our investors!
