After a nap and a surf it has finally settled. I defended my dissertation, and I am a newly minted PhD!! What an honor to have worked alongside @BradMoore_SIO and the @moorelabsio for the past 5 years. Thank you to everyone who supported me on this journey.

Similarly, I will be graduating in June after defending my PhD and will be looking for industry positions in San Diego! I am a protein biochemist and molecular biologist w/ strong skills in sequencing, bioinformatics, and high-performance computing. Let's connect!.
As a shameless plug, I'll be looking for industry positions in San Diego after I defend my PhD in May so please feel free to share this paper and my info widely. Cheers!.

So proud of @ScienceSiren_ and the whole team! Amazing to see this work out in the world and share an interesting story centered around biosynthesis in eukaryotes.
Very stoked to see my 1st first-author paper out in world! For a long time it's been assumed that all sponge-derived natural products are made by microbes, but we found that the sponge animal actually makes terpenes.
