Reposting with an eye catching figure because forgot

During my rotation I got to work on this project and I immediately knew I would be a fool to pass up an opportunity to work with Soumya Kannan and Han Altae-Tran. Super thankful to have met, and learned from, you guys!

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

“I think that reason is a pretense. I think that this is an attack on Harvard as a symbol of academia in the United States.”

Observing Shabbat by not engaging with the weird white knighters who think they’re fighting antisemitism by harassing Jewish professors. Shalom, y’all. Try to be good to each other

I apparently deleted a important “TnpA” label from my poster so now my week is ruined but if you want to help search for more mistakes and you are at the Microbial Populations GRC come see me Wednesday

Every second of Coldplay I’ve listened to has been against my will

When I was told I’d have a summer undergrad I couldn’t have imagined how lucky I would be. Hue has no tolerance for the easy way out and takes on new challenges with an infectious positivity. One day someone will be just as lucky to have her as a grad student. We will miss you!
