Shout out to Miriam Guevara, research specialist in the Pellet Lab, on her recent poster award at the IBRCC! She presented her collaborative work with Jae-Hyuk Yu and Dasol Choi investigating the effects of a novel broad-spectrum antimicrobial on C. botulinum.
I had a great time attending and presenting at the 60th annual IBRCC meeting in Atlanta. I am also honored to have received a best poster award!

Very cool miniseries being put on by @WIDiscovery over the next few months on the gut-brain superhighway. It kicks off tonight, Jan. 16 with @VanessaSperand2 and @Science_Haikus of @UWMadisonMMI talking about Microbes, Addiction, and Immunity.

New report from the Pellett Lab on how botulinum neurotoxins can be produced at high levels in a stable form in C. tetani. This finding is expected to greatly facilitate purification of BoNTs and could aid in production of antitoxins.
