Today is a very solemn moment for the United States. The Supreme Court expressly took away a Constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized. They simply took it away. That's never been done to a right that is so important to so many Americans.

Those same friends spent the week before our wedding supporting us again by helping plan our nuptials, prepare decorations, and by being in the wedding. @TKochanPhD went above and beyond by officiating our ceremony in the most personalized and meaningful way. (3/4)

She was one of my biggest supporters during grad school but she wasn't the only one who helped me. Other students in the department who I'm now lucky enough to call friends and colleagues created an incredible support system and a sense of community during that time. (2/4)

A few weeks ago I married my best friend. It was the best day of my life, but this is my professional Twitter account and that's not what this tweet is about. I met her during my interview weekend for @UMMicroImmuno where she was already a student. (1/4)

A study co-led by @TheRiotMicrobe reveals that probiotic Lactobacillus bacteria use enzymes situationally to manipulate bile acids and promote their own survival in the gut. https://t.co/KEBu21W5pp

So much more to uncover about gut bile acids and C. diff pathogenesis! Great work.
Our latest work is now out in @PNASNews! A great collaboration with @BordenLacy and @TheRiotMicrobe on uncovering a new toxin-specific role for intestinal bile acids in C. difficile pathogenesis.
