I'm so proud of these two fantastic DBBS students, it has been a pleasure and honor to mentor them and I can't wait to see what they do next! Congratulations Dr. Ellie Gaylord (left) and Dr. Liza Loza (right)!!

Colleagues in the midwest studying fungi and parasites - check out this terrific regional meeting. Lots of opportunities for trainees to present, great speakers, and registration/meals are free. Hard to beat this combo!

My honor to hood @KeeleyChoy, and a lovely day for the lab to turn out to cheer for her. Look forward to her thesis talk in a few weeks! Congratulations to all the graduating @WUSTLdbbs students! @WUSM_MolMicro

@ewjwallace @jp_1fungi @hitenmadhani @BallouLab @GuilhemJanbon We’ve never had contamination of other cell cultures by Cryptococcus yeast (20+ years with occasional growth in the same incubator). We haven’t had spores in the same incubator, so can’t address that.

@JohnstonLabs Yes, thanks for mentioning that! And I understand the former editors wrote the community around the time of the change, but since others (like me) may have missed that I posted this reminder.

Kudos to @D_Agustinho, who spearheaded this project to identify natural genomic variants that influence cryptococcal virulence. Our strategy worked beautifully to discover a causal variant with a big influence on virulence–more to come! @ScientistAtLarj

Happy to share these beautiful studies about ergosterol transport in C. neoformans, done by @KeeleyChoy with help from Ellie Gaylord. Two talented and insightful Wash U DBBS graduate students – it’s a privilege to work with them! @WUSM_MolMicro @WUSTLdbbs

Picked up a local newsletter today and saw three new board members of a business organization described respectively as 'bubbly' (a lawyer), 'outgoing' (a realtor), and 'invaluable' (an entrepreneur). Guess which one was the man in the group! This gets tiring. Words matter.

New initiative from my department - take a look and pass on to recent/imminent doctoral graduates who might be interested in an alternative to a traditional postdoc. And meanwhile happy holidays to everyone celebrating light in a cold winter! @WUSM_MolMicro

@SolnicaKrezelL @WashUDevBio @WUSTLmed Derailment of a budding career is tragic. Trainees have a right to a safe, supportive, and fair environment at @WUSTLmed and elsewhere. We as faculty must do all we can to address and combat mistreatment at any level, and protect the mental and physical health of our trainees.

@timothykeyes No one-size-fits-all answer, but take one step at a time. If you can get the support you need to finish your degrees, that has some advantages. Once you're finishing, decide if further training suits you. (I completed MD-PhD but no more training - now do research on a pathogen.)
