I’m super excited to announce that I’m #BrookeBound! I’ve committed to the Gardner lab (@brookemeghan) for my PhD @mcdbucsb!! I’m going to be studying peroxisomes for the next 5ish years🤩

Excited to share my Masters project from the @daa_lab! We show that the #UnfoldedProteinResponse, and in particular PERK, helps coordinate ER expansion prior to cell division. Big thanks especially to @JulienBacal, @franzappa2 and @brookemeghan for helping me push this to the finish line!
I am so happy to be able to share @soham_ch0 and my work from @daa_lab! I spent a lot of my MA fascinated with understanding how and if the ER undergoes expansion throughout the cell cycle.

Microbio Twitter: What is the best way to fly domestic with 2 boxes of non-pathogenic strains (frozen glycerol stocks)? A Southwest agent was unsure but recommended dry ice in my carry-on? Fedex instead? I don't want to gamble with my collection!

Had a blast working with @FrontYoungMinds on a paper about how the menstrual cycle is a *superpower*. I wish I knew this when I was younger & my hope is that today’s young minds will be empowered by, not ashamed of, their menstrual cycles!

A key first step in mentoring is recognizing that every person you mentor is different, and none of them are you.
Some of them and let me tell you, it’s my FAVORITE

Gave my last final today! We cleaned the lab and now it’s the end of the semester! A celebration! I’ll see you ladies in January. Also… why does chemistry always work the week before you leave? 🙄

In 10 years of studying tubeworms, we discovered novel molecular syringes, made evolutionary connections to the human gut microbiome, and founded a biotech startup @Metamorphotech1. Can't wait to see what the next decade has in store for us.
Could tubeworms hold secrets that advance genetic modification?
