After months of hard work here is finally my first authorship in a scientifc paper! Thanks to Gestal Lab and Nick, this was an amzing research and hope the first of many! 🧑🏽‍🔬🧫 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

New paper! Bordetella spp. utilize the type 3 secretion system to manipulate the VIP/VPAC2 signaling and promote colonization and persistence of the three classical Bordetella in the lower respiratory tract dlvr.it/SmcN5z

My heart is broken with the recent lost of our beloved Ken Peterson. I will always remember him telling us all his funny stories during his PhD. The Vibrio field has lost one of the greatest. Always in our hearts ❤️ Ken you will be missed ❤️

We truly lost a special one. May his soul continue to rest in peace in God's bossom. Amen

I can’t believe it! I dreamt with this moment since the first time I came to an ASM conference. Come to the in-depth symposium Saturday at 1:45 and hear about the cool things that my amazing students can do. They are the people that makes magic happen. ❤️
