Congratulations to undergrad, Madison Andrews, who will be pursuing her PhD in chemical biology at Scripps Florida. Great things ahead for her in research!

Congratulations to undergrad, Magdalene Hernandez, who has been selected for a Vivien Thomas Scholars Initiative funded position in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's PREP program. Way to go Magdalene!!

Morning, y'all! ☀️

New postdoc position available in Metaproteomics/Proteomics. Check out the position and apply at ejof.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/…

Graduate student, Emmanuel Ugwuoji, got the opportunity to give an oral presentation on his work at the Microbes in Microbiomes meeting. We heard through the grapevine that it went great! @MicrobioSoc

Go Hawks!

🚨BREAKING: Google just dropped another hit! It's called PaperBanana and it generates publication-ready academic illustrations from just your methodology text. No Figma. No manual design. No illustration skills needed. Here's how it works: A team of AI agents runs behind the scenes → One finds good diagram examples → One plans the structure → One styles the layout → One generates the image → One critiques and improves it Here's the wildest part: Random reference examples work nearly as well as perfectly matched ones. What matters is showing the model what good diagrams look like, not finding the topically perfect reference. In blind evaluations, humans preferred PaperBanana outputs 75% of the time. This is the recursion we've been waiting for AI systems that can fully document themselves visually. Waitlist’s open, Link in the first comment.

Wright Group's LaRae Hudson chairing a 2 hour session @ Keystone Microbiome 2026. Well done LaRae! @BiologyBaylor

Keystone Microbiome Conference 2026. Wright group was represented well by LaRae Hudson, Amelia Slusser and Kristina Shipman. Sharing science in one of the most beautiful places on earth! @BiologyBaylor

Congratulations to Kris Shipman for winning the travel award at Keystone Microbiome meeting. @BiologyBaylor

Merry Christmas!! "But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption."

"Praise the Lord! O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever." ~ Psalm 106:1 Happy Thanksgiving, Baylor Family!
