Happy to share a passion project from my PhD working with bacterial genetics and corals! This work wouldn’t have been possible without support from @morganvfarrell Alyssa Demko @DrJMSneed Valerie Paul @BradMoore_SIO @ShikumaLab
Stay tuned for the final version!

Come be my lab mate and join our quickly growing team tackling microbiome editing!
10 Mar 2023
Join the team developing the new field of #microbiome editing! We are recruiting a jointly advised postdoc with Jennifer Doudna @doudna_lab to apply new CRISPR-Cas systems to editing clinically and environmentally relevant microbiomes.

For decades, Dr. Anthony Fauci has led with science to fight infectious disease. His leadership during the pandemic saved countless lives, & his commitment to evidence-based science is a key reason why public policies have been able to protect public health. ASM stands w/ Fauci.

Why you, regardless of where you are and what you do, should care and be outraged about this situation occurring at a small CSU in Northern California, @ChicoState: This kind of thing is pervasive in academia and science. 1/🧵

A prominent @ChicoState biology professor allegedly spoke of killing two female colleagues who cooperated in a 2020 investigation that found he had a prohibited sexual affair with a graduate student, state court and newly released university records show. edsource.org/2022/chico-stat…

In 10 years of studying tubeworms, we discovered novel molecular syringes, made evolutionary connections to the human gut microbiome, and founded a biotech startup @Metamorphotech1. Can't wait to see what the next decade has in store for us.

Could tubeworms hold secrets that advance genetic modification?
