If you’re going to #ASMicrobe and sticking around for a couple days, come to @calacademy for Night Life on the 27th! I’ll be there talking about microbes and plants, and we’ll have a #SciArt activity for you to do! (See @ActinoArtist for a hint) photo: @BaileyBonet

Today commemorates the 17th and 18th anniversary of my #nsfgrfp rejections. I failed. Twice. If you’re waking up to disappointing news, I see you and you are not alone. Know that this is not an end and doesn’t define your future. #PhDchat

Woohoo! The final chapter of my PhD is out today in @GeneticsGSA ! This is the embodiment of persistence. I fell in love with the ham-11 gene during my first year. My adviser encouraged me to avoid ham-11, but I wouldn't listen. Now here's my ham-11 story! genetics.org/content/211/4/1…
