At the Kennedy Center to see 'Frozen'. Performance is great, but the little girl in front of us fervently waving at Elsa during 'Let It Go' is probably the best part.

New work on polyP from the lab - led by the dearly missed @RitikaShah29 and 4 UG students. We found that killing of S. aureus by P. aeruginosa is dependent on polyP production in the gram- pathogen. PolyP may contribute both directly and indirectly. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Rediscovering my deleterious grant writing habits: i) exposition dumping, ii) saving citations until the end so I forget which ones I wanted for a particular claim, and iii) an inescapable compulsion to structure every sentence so it doesn't end at the margin mid-paragraph.
My lab at SDSU is hiring a new postdoc! Really cool project looking at bystander effects of infection, using Trypanosoma cruzi as a model. Mass spectrometry experience not required - this is a great chance to expand your skills!

When you build an edifice around publications, imbue them w/mystical significance, and make them - not real achievements - the measure of career and disciplinary success, you expose not just yourself but the whole endeavor to collapse when the paper(s) are set aflame.

Had a blast writing this commentary #msphere. The work in the papers that I highlight made me want to be a microbiologist. I vividly remember seeing an MBL physiology lecture by Gary Borisy on the topic when I was a grad student.
Drew Bridges studies the formation and disassembly of bacterial biofilms. In this #mSphere of Influence, he reflects on how the paper “Biogeography of a human oral microbiome at the micron scale” inspired him to change his research trajectory. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…
