How do gut pathogens establish themselves, escape from the intestinal lumen, and traverse the colonic mucus to reach the host epithelium? My PhD study from @BruceVallance lab shows sialic acid facilitates this process! @PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Finally out! This work describing a genetic system for a very important and cool gut commensal has been a labor of love. Massive amounts of work by @lauren282012, Per Malkus & @ValdiviaLab. Special thanks to @barton_lab and Lawrence David’s for being most excellent collaborators.

When I hear men worshipping guns and talking about how there’s nothing that will stop them from defending their family, my mind goes to Naaman in the Bible. Do you remember Naaman? He was a great military leader, and he also had leprosy. 1/

A sitting US senator is celebrating a child wearing a shirt called ā€œguns and 69,ā€ which features sexually explicit and misogynistic messaging, desecrates the flag, and glorifies a weapon used to murder children and educators in American schools. This culture is killing us.

In America, if you're a wealthy vulture capitalist with over $250,000 in uninsured deposits at a loosely regulated bank the federal government will guarantee that your money is safe in a weekend. If you have no health insurance and get cancer, you're on your own. Unacceptable.

Well GA ā€œchristian conservatives,ā€ you can vote for a congenital liar who had 4 kids from 4 different women, raised none of them, put a gun to the head of the woman he was cheating on, then a knife to her throat, paid for 2 abortions, denied both; or vote for a christian pastor.

I will surely miss these folks! Couldn’t ask for a better group to work with and learn from.
We bid farewell to @eldoles and @durstingly, two outstanding scientists and colleagues. The positive impact of their contributions, both as mentors to junior lab members and in their research projects, will be felt for years. Best of luck with the next adventure!
