Why do we age? And why do some people age faster than others?
The secret lies in our telomeres and the enzyme telomerase which was first discovered by medicine laureate Elizabeth Blackburn and affects the way our cells age.

New year, new preprint! Do bacteria run away from antibiotics?
No!
We observed Pseudomonas aeruginosa twitching towards different antibiotics, amazingly they even reach concentrations far above lethal!
What’s up with that? [1/6]

If you spend a lot of time copying text from PDFs into Word like me, I hope this tip might be useful! If the PDF ends up broken up over lots of lines, there's no need to fix it manually. Just go to find and replace, type ^p into find, and one space into replace. Pics below :)

One of our recents alums, Abbey Renner, has died. She was such a kind and smart and just HAPPY person who was fulfilling her dream of becoming a doctor at OSU. I must have just missed her at the Tulsa marathon on Sunday. So sad for her family on this day.

I’m pretty excited to be able to share this photo finally. World, meet the Inti Tanager (Heliothraupis oneilli), a brand new genus and species of bird to science. This was an international collaborative effort - and it’s great to see it finally out!
