biochemistry and structural biology research fellow at @MonashBDI | microbial genomics PhD from @Banfieldlab @savagecatsonly at @UCBerkeley #firstgen
Berkeley, CA
Joined July 2010
Today, I proudly graduate from @UCBerkeley with a PhD, a first in my family but certainly not the last. Today I celebrate little Luis! This is for you! I knew deep down that I could forge a new path. I decided to change the trajectory of my life, thanks to the guidance of my (many)mentors. #PhDGrad #FamilyFirstGen #SiSePudo #LatinxPhD

Important clarification: CPR bacteria ≠ Patescibacteria. When constructing phylogenetic trees without relying on RED scores, it becomes evident that CPR is not a single phylum, but rather comprises multiple distinct phyla. One of my favorite tools is GTDB but CPR Bacteria does not belong to Patescibacteria, this is one group within CPR.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a scientist is peer review: helping authors strengthen their work while respecting their vision. Support, don't dictate. ✨
