One of my hobbies = watercolor doodles. Here are some fun amoeba morphologies!

🚨 Exciting news! My latest research on Mycodiplosis fly larvae and rust fungi is published! We screened over 5,000 rust specimens globally and built the first 5-gene phylogenetic tree of Mycodiplosis. Check out our groundbreaking findings: academic.oup.com/jinsectscience…

My favorite time!

FungiDB.org is back online!

Zach, Amy and I wrote a News and Views on two super fun stories about how RNAs shape germ granules. One from the Ephrussi group led by Mainak Bose on kissing loop interactions and another by Ruth Lehmann's group on translation+localization control.

For night 4 of #31NightsofHalloween #MicrosCreepy, here is a scary alien! Or, an amoeba imaged by Scanning Electron Microscreepy.

🧬 New insights into microbial genomics! Comparing SAGs and MAGs reveals that Single Amplified Genomes (SAGs). although more costly, better reflect microbial abundance and diversity with less contamination, while Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MAGs) excel at capturing rare

For night 6 of #31NightsofHalloween #MicrosCreepy, here’s a monster of an amoeba with 6 nuclei!

For night 11 of #31NightsofHalloween #MicrosCreepy Here are some pathogenic E. coli infecting intestinal epithelial cells!
