In graduate school for immunology and the microbiome, I added a public health minor. It would evolve into a deep passion for the places where data and humanity intersect. This is only the start, I think! @NatRevImmunol #myfirsttweet

Hey Salt Lake! Come join us at the 2025 Utah March for Science on Friday March 7th at the Capitol from 12-1. Spread the word far and wide! (I'm speaking on my own behalf)

So much education, sustainability and opportunity wrapped up in the UofU edible campus gardens. What an amazing campus initiative. @UUtah https://t.co/elHB2GH9Cj

A useful cheat sheet for the immune system!

My favorite quote from today: "Joy is a form of resistance." Stay strong and hopeful, scientists.💖

The Power of the Plate. 🍽️ While we can't alter our genes or rewrite our past, we hold immense power in shaping our future, and it starts with the choices we make in our kitchen. How we eat impacts our brain's development, affects neurotransmitters, regulates stress hormones,

I've just explored the brand-new tidyplots package in R, and it’s impressive how effortlessly it enables you to create beautiful, publication-ready plots. Designed with scientific papers in mind, tidyplots lets you build, adjust, and refine plot components gradually, all with a

Restricting sugar exposure in the first two years of life can meaningfully reduce the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. We need to rethink many cereals, snacks, and treats for children. https://t.co/P0cTOtpLNV

Free scientific illustrations for biologists! 😍 @NIH has released a library of 500+ free scientific illustrations to create figures, presentations, and illustrations! all freely available in the public domain. Retweet and spread the message! https://t.co/p1bD1kxO7H

This brief survey is open & to all Utahns who want to provide input on #GreatSaltLake issues! Our folks at @UtahFFSL are updating the management plans for the lake & they want to hear from you: https://t.co/kYVS1GkioL

Inequitable access to food remains a formidable barrier to health across the world. This review in @NatRevGastroHep highlights the specific impact on metabolic liver disease, and the urgent need to recognize social factors in treatment. #foodinsecurity https://t.co/oaMjIgpyUO
