If you ever wanted to say you’re a molecular ichthyologist, check out this PhD position with my great collaborators (although I’m pretty sure the fish will be normal size!)

Are processed foods unintentionally engineering our microbiomes? Happy to share a "Behind the Paper" post on how it's important to be open to new hypotheses and reviewer critiques to make your science stronger! microbiologycommunity.nature.com/posts/are-proc… #behindthepaper

That moment when you realize your 'failed' experiment disproving your hypothesis can be reframed as a really interesting result that deserves investigation

Career musings, ways to study biology: Take it out of the living thing (e.g. biochemistry), break it (e.g. knockouts), study it in the living thing (e.g. omics methods, microscopy), build new biology (e.g. move parts from one organism to another).
