Our latest paper is out in the Journal of Biological Chemistry! This is the last chapter of my PhD work, and I’m proud of the story we were able to tell. Few things in life are black and white, and this axiom holds true for gene regulation in bacteria. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Tuberculosis once again surpasses Covid as biggest infectious killer @TRTWorld trtworld.com/life/tuberculos…
1/ You can’t pretend the pandemic didn’t happen. Some people don’t want to take the health risk of airborne infections for health reasons with ongoing viral waves. Excluding them by not providing a virtual option for participation is an ableist approach. You should do better.

Someone pinch me because life doesn't feel real anymore - I feel like I'm living in an alternative universe: 1. All my experiments are working 😯 2. Our lab recently submitted my first publication ever 3. I'm giving a talk tomorrow 👩🏾‍🏫 4. Now I got the NSF GRFP!!!!

We refuse to be hidden figures. Our stories are too great not to share. Our faces too beautiful not to see. Some little Black girl living in doubt needs to know Black women are fighting to ensure she has a seat at the table. #BlackPhDs
