When I was in middle school, I remember the pure feeling of wonder when I saw the microbial world wriggling around in pond water🦠🔬Hoping to be that spark✨for the next generation. Thanks to Reach for the Stars @RiceUniversity for having us over to share our love of microbes!
Exciting opportunity at Rutgers to join a new lab working on gut hormones!! Sara is a fantastic mentor and lab mate, reach out now!

Wonderful time seeing friends & meeting new ones at #GRCtoxpath! Many thanks to @DrBadBug, @TorresVJ_Lab, @ValeriaMReyes, & @microcallahan for a fantastic GRC/GRS! Truly honored to be elected as the next vice-chair. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next one in 2026!
Had so much fun at #GRCToxPath!! My favorite conference among a wonderful trainee community. Thanks to our amazing GRS co-chairs @microcallahan and @ValeriaMReyes, hope to see everyone again in two years!!
Excited to share the second half of my thesis project! Thanks to my wonderful mentor @BrodskyIgor, @SunnyShinLab, and co-first authors Daniel and @JennaJZhang for being by my side for every experiment. Thread of findings: (1/n)
Collaborative study by @BrodskyIgor & @SunnyShinLab led by co-1st authors @RinaDoesScience, Daniel Sorobetea & @JennaJZhang uncovers a TNF-IL-1 signaling circuit in monocytes that controls intestinal Yersinia infection. hubs.la/Q02llbCJ0

Interestingly, IL-1 receptor was required on non-immune cells, similar to IL-1 signaling on epithelial cells being important for control of Legionella. doi.org/10.1016/j.chom.2020.…. Future work will identify the specific cell type involved. (6/n)
My heart is full hearing this news, congratulations @kkariko and thank you for being an inspiration to women in science👩🔬
“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”
Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges.
Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

Huge congrats to my labmate Sara on her new study!! Lactobacillus ameliorates many diseases, but how does a gut probiotic🦠affect distal sites 🧠🦴? She shows one explanation: production of oxytocin from enterocytes! 🚨Watch out for this rising superstar on the job market now! 🚨
I am incredibly happy to announce that our work finding oxytocin in the gut epithelium is now an article in Gut Microbes!!! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Excited to start my postdoc journey @BrittonTML, back in the anaerobic chamber with C. difficile 👩🔬🦠🧫
Welcoming @RinaDoesScience to the lab! 🎉 She's joining us on a T32 Training Grant in Pediatric Gastroenterology Research to study Cdiff infection.
Moving to Houston today to start as a post-doc in Robert Britton’s lab @rabritton at Baylor! Already miss Philly as I close this chapter, but excited to discover my new home in Houston. Come say hi if you’re in the area!
