Microbiologist & phage phanatic! Enthusiastic explorer of microbial genomes. New PI at the Wadsworth Center. Currently obsessed with plasmid-dependent phages
Boston, MA
Joined October 2009
My lab is up and running and just needs enthusiastic phage biologists to populate it! Contact me or apply in the link if you are interested in a postdoc exploring plasmid-dependent phage biology in beautiful (and super affordable!) upstate New York🍎1/3

In case you needed a reason to go do a PhD with @APHage_ (other than the awesome science!)
Dr. @rabiafatima_ has "tPASsed". Too many feels. Thank you @implosian - sorry you couldn't make it for the presentation of the warhammer. I do get asked if I fear the graduates will use them against me... no! Not in public, anyway - they're all far too smart to get caught.

@PatrickKenney7 Haha, I've been there! Only a fellow phage enthusiast would understand the luxury of weekly WW deliveries 😆

@THE_inteins Haha, indeed it's all relative. But coming from a postdoc in the greater Boston area, the NY capital region is luxuriously affordable

Another step forward towards the post-plaque era! Great work helping to drag the phage field into the 21st Century. Many core methodologies we use to study phages haven't changed since they were invented almost 100 years ago
Finally, the preprint on my postdoc work from the past 3 years! With mentorship from @PaulTurnerLab and @EmonetLab, I developed a microscopic technique to measure attachment of viruses #phages to bacterial cells @YalePhage @QbioYale .
