The best gift ever for Mother's day: the arrival of my little cutie 🥰

Welcome our new lab members, postdoc Dipa and undergrad Quinn! Time to take a new group photo on this beautiful sunny day!

One of the benefits of working with a diverse group is that you will get very delicious and special cuisine from all over the world, when you do a potluck for Thanksgiving! :D Thank you and Happy holidays everyone!

A lot to celebrate in our lab this week! Sal successfully passed oral exam! Ran got the 1st prize oral presentation at FLASM meeting! I'm so happy especially for Ran, as oral presentation has been very challenging for her. She worked so hard and now here is the prize! #proudPI

Big Congrats to Sal, first-year grad student winning travel grant from USF Grad Symposium! A great start for grad school :) #proudPI

Totally impressed by these two passionate undergrad students in my lab! Having fun in doing experiments, and non-stop even in holiday break! I'm much motivated by them!😲🤩👍 #usf #undergrad

Happy to read such a nice email Friday afternoon😃Spent a lot of time for my first-time teaching this semester; so exhausted after each lecture. But really enjoy the process of creating and disseminating knowledge, and inspiring young scientists! #newPI#undergrad#microbiology

Celebrating (with a feast ;) my non-thesis Master student Ran (the one with the crown :D) successfully presented and defended her Master's review paper! English is not the easiest for her as a foreign student. But she really worked hard and did it well! Very happy for her!
