For the past year, I’ve been working with @KJEHickman & @SciPolRev editors Jenny Cascino & @michdoesscience to write a review paper on the potential of fungal research for informing policy, and today it’s live! I’m so proud of our piece! Check it out:

For a story about biking in Boston, the Globe is looking to speak with people who have started biking in the city in the last year to find out what the experience has been like. trib.al/YVPkX4o
meanwhile, the Somerville cops were busy pulling me over for biking through the walk signal (no pedestrians crossing!) at Somerville and Park so that I could safely make a left turn
Very grateful for the opportunity to share my work at #TropMed23 thanks to @parasitesrule and @BWFUND. Join me bright and early tomorrow at 8 AM in session 103 to hear all about how translational regulation shapes chronic stage differentiation in Toxoplasma!

It has arrived! The #mpm2023 abstract book is available for download.

@MIT we have a message for one of your admins- Hey Ian Waitz, I wanna know, will you raise our pay?

The energy was wild today at the picket - 100s of grad workers over 9 hours. Thanks to everyone who came out. It is clear that MIT grad workers will fight for what we need. We make this institute run and deserve higher wages, better benefits, real recourse, and union shop!!!

Our rendition of ghostbusters! Who you gonna call, our union!!! For bad advisors, low wages, overworking - the whole gamut!

New cycling achievement unlocked on my commute: as I patiently wait at the School St - Somerville Ave light, an SUV turns towards me, rolls down their window, and proceeds to argue that I am “in their fucking way” as they’re trying to drive THE WRONG WAY DOWN A ONE WAY STREET
BUT WHO IS THE VOICE BEHIND VASSAH STREET... I will not rest until I know who is responsible for this little bit of happiness in my day
Ever noticed that crosswalks in Cambridge are sounding a little more... human these days?
It's because city staff are recording the messages themselves. Some say it really "personalizes" the commute bostonglobe.com/2022/10/13/m…
benefits of biking in Somerville include impromptu detours when you hear @honkfest down the street on your way home from work
so proud of our fearless leader @LouridoLab! Feeling lucky to have such an incredible mentor (and forever aspiring to live up to both his science and his keynote aesthetics)
@LouridoLab rocking his tenure talk for @MITBiology and @WhiteheadInst
Beautiful science from a fantastic colleague!

🚨🚌You have until JULY 31 to submit feedback to the @MBTA on the Bus Network Redesign, which has very serious problems for intra-Somerville transit. As the City and our State Delegation advocates, we need all of you to add your voice:

Just days after introducing Dr. @ToxoTyler, I get to share his magnum opus in its final form: "Screening the #Toxoplasma kinome with high-throughput tagging identifies a regulator of invasion and egress" nature.com/articles/s41564-0…
