Cellular & Molecular Biology PhD student @UWMadison in the @dho_lab. Interested in One Health, viral surveillance, and the pathogenesis of (re)emerging viruses.
Big week for Dr. @MitchellRamuta - successfully defended his PhD thesis yesterday and had his last manuscript in the lab posted to Medrxiv today! When he's back online he can Twitter summarize. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
For those of you that have asked me why I am convinced that cryptic lineages are coming from people, I can finally point to a pre-print with @dho and many fantastic collaborators in the UWisc and Wisc Public Health.

Thank you, @lbthackray for having us on your podcast. I had a great time talking about environmental surveillance strategies for detecting #SARSCoV2 in the community!
1/ Wastewater monitoring for SARS-CoV-2 has gained a lot of attention, but air sampling, another form of environmental surveillance, can complement clinical and wastewater data. rockefellerfoundation.org/bl…
A multivalent flu vaccine from the Taubenberger lab broadly protects mice and ferrets from multiple strains of #influenza A virus – helping to pave the road toward a long-sought “universal” flu vaccine. @NIAIDNews#InfectiousDiseasefcld.ly/fpkt6i5
New manuscript from my work at @dho_lab is up on medRxiv!
This was my first big project on staff there, and was an extraordinary opportunity to shift gears into viral genomics and public health.
So, what did we find?
Figures & findings in thread.
In which we describe a 16 month persistent infection with SARS-CoV-2. I'll leave the full description to lead author @itsnickminor. With @tcfriedrich and a big, great team of colleagues. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Air surveillance is a scalable and cost-effective alternative to testing, especially in high-risk areas of indoor congregation. Our partners @dho, @MitchellRamuta, and @slo_wis are doing impressive work in preparing us for living with #Covid19.
