I challenged my class to come dressed with a microbio-themed costume: mad cow, Gram stain, fungus, virus, phage, Gram positive, ascaris, (back) Gram stain, retrovirus (my fave), feces w toxoplasma. Kudos to their creativity @STCEID @ASMicrobiology #tooinfectious

Nice work @ShikumaLab ! To listen to Nick talk about bacterial driven metamorphosis, tune in to #microTalk. @ASMicrobiology @STCEID @CandidaScience #tooinfectious asm.org/Podcasts/microTalk/E…

Tubeworm babies often grow up with help from 'friendly' bacteria. But how does this friendship take place? Sometimes, bacteria produce a tiny syringe that injects a single protein! Our work with @PilhoferLab #ZellerLab #NewmanLab now in @eLife elifesciences.org/articles/4…
