Just ecstatic to celebrate my amazing partner Josh getting a travel AND poster award at the @ProteinSociety conference! His hard work learning tons of molecular biology, optimizing constructs, and planning innumerable experiments came to fruition and I couldn’t be prouder!

Congrats to Karen for continuing to be a fabulous PDF and absolutely crushing it at the coolest STI conference! Wish I was there to cheer you on!
So excited to receive an award for my oral presentation at #STIHIV on protease activity in vaginal bacteria! I had to sneak off to another meeting and missed the awards ceremony, but congrats to all the other awardees!

It is pride month, and no one should be left out. Check out this piece in The Conversation co-authored by our Lab Lead, Dr. @AlanSMartino, about the experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ disabled people.

Queer disabled people struggle to be seen in queer spaces that often do not accommodate them.

Karen is one to talk! Shoutout to her for being a source of brilliant research and constant joy in the lab. She makes the lab a supportive & fun environment for everyone. Every day is a great day when I am in lab with her!
Have to shout out the incredible @kat_heger for winning an award at her first conference as a grad student for her research on the vaginal microbiome & chalymdia infections. Not only is Kat a great scientist, labmate and friend, but always has me keeling over in laughter.

It’s such a privilege to work with the amazing @kvlithgow — few are as passionate, eloquent, or knowledgeable about the vaginal microbiome! She’s taught me so much: everything from microbiology to EDI to raccoons & more! I’m eternally grateful for her mentorship & friendship :)
Had an amazing time at #BCID2023 - great science and conversations with new & old friends. Honoured to have taken home Best Oral Presentation for our research on the vaginal microbiome and protection against dysbiosis/STIs. In great company with these inspiring women!
