What paper changed your life? Is there one that captured your attention because of the elegant design, perfect illustration of a concept, or surprising result? I want to know :).

Thank you to my advisors @KoelleLab & @dbweissman for helping me submit this work. Both of my new manuscripts hinge on coinfection relaxing selection on mutations. Here we focus on how heterogeneity in viral output from host cells contributes to deleterious mutation accumulation.
The latest work out of the lab, led by @brent_allman and with @dbweissman on the interaction between heterogeneity in viral infection and deleterious mutation accumulation is up on bioRxiv as well

Super excited to share this work co-authored with an amazing @EmoryUniversity undergraduate, Julie Zhu. Thank you to @tcfriedrich and @KATarinambraun for helping us track down the data so we could fit our model.
Recent work out of the lab, led by @brent_allman and @Julie22875761 on estimating within-host fitness estimation of viral variants in the context of cellular coinfection is now up on bioRxiv

Category is: Things that will infuriate me and distract from prepping for a dissertation committee. Will revisit when I have more bandwidth π€.
The biological sciences overwhelmingly support the claim that there are precisely two sexes (no more, no less) in almost all complex multicellular life. Here are 40 peer-reviewed journal articles from biologists on the evolution of sex and why there are only two sexes.

Today is #LGBTQSTEMDay and @gsinglis included me and some other fabulous early career folks in a feature for @CommsBio. Give this a read, and give them a follow if you want to hear perspectives on being queer in STEM. π³οΈβππ.

This program looks amazing and anyone interested in doing a post-bac before applying to graduate school in biological sciences should take a look.
UCSF's newest post-bac program, PROPEL, has launched! Promising post-bac researchers from groups underrepresented in science will receive professional development training, networking opportunities, and research mentorship. Learn more: οΏ½π»βπ¬π¨π»βπ¬π©π½βπ¬π¨πΏβπ¬π©πΌβπ¬π¨π½βπ¬.

My awesome colleagues in the @KoelleLab just wrote up a paper on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling that you probably want to read! Nice work @MollyEFG and @ajsieben.
Our latest article, on the importance of considering indirect vaccine benefits when evaluating SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidates, is now up on MedRxiv. Led by @MollyEFG with @ajsieben, @kbratnelson, @Alicia_Kraay, @B_Lopman, and @andreashandel
