Best first tweet ever!!! I'm beyond honored to join the @HHMINEWS #GilliamFellows community. From Brazil to the Midwest - it's been a journey! 🥶 I'm so excited to learn from this amazing group of people and work together to continue pushing science forward! So proud of us!💚

Ever wonder why drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is less fit than drug-susceptible Mtb? And how the bacterium can evolve to compensate for that cost?

@ScienceYael Sucess is in the sum of smalll efforts 💪 💪repieted 🫡 repeated æy iny-day 😩😤 -- even on Saturdays 💯💯💯

I told DALL-E to make me a motivational poster about having to come into lab on a saturday and these are absolutely sending me

@HarshitaBGupta1 @JMolBiol @HarrisLabUTHSA thanks! 😊

@sofianmoraes @JMolBiol Congrats @sofianmoraes and Arad!! Well deserved. @HarrisLabUTHSA @jmolbiol

The last paper from my phd is now published in @JMolBiol! Working together with Arad Moghadasi, we developed a live cell assay for quantifying viral and cellular deubiquitinase activity doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.…

@LucasFerreri1 @JMolBiol thank you!!

@sofianmoraes @JMolBiol Congrats Sofia!

What a time we had. First in-person gathering for most of them, and me. I love my job @ HHMI, but miss regular facetime with students. The #GilliamFellows meeting filled my tank and will keep me going for quite a while! 💙💚💚💛 (⬅️ these hearts are sort of hhmi colors)

@yeseniatweets @ZeenaRivera @ScienceYael ✨networking is my passion✨

@ScienceYael @ZeenaRivera real cherry blossoms of D.C.

@ZeenaRivera flourishing

2 days, 32 talks heard, 1 digital (!) poster presented, many friends made. So happy to attend my first @HHMINEWS science meeting, finally meet some of the other Gilliam fellows in person, and be in the company of so many inspirational scientists ✨

@thiagoarzua esse tweet literalmente a primeira coisa que veio na minha cabeça 😭 she gets it

@ShanleyRoach oddly satisfying but please tell me this was a team effort 😭

In case you wanted to know what 810 labeled Eppendorf tubes looked like, here ya go 🤓 #AcademicTwitter

@Dr_Simon_Baker @eLife Thank you!

My 1st first-author manuscript is out in @eLife! This project started back in 2019 with the question “what makes a viral protein evolve a new function?” A thread: doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

@WeitzmanLab @PricelessSci @eLife Thank you!

@sofianmoraes @PricelessSci @eLife Congrats! Nice story

@FaltasLab @HarrisLabUTHSA @JordanBeckerPhD @Ashley_Auerbach @AdamZCheng Thank you!

@sofianmoraes @HarrisLabUTHSA @JordanBeckerPhD @Ashley_Auerbach @AdamZCheng Congratulations

@b_stefanovska @HarrisLabUTHSA Thank you!! 🫶

Another great paper from the @HarrisLabUTHSA! Congrats Sofia et al. on this amazing work 👏👏👏

Huge thanks to the @HarrisLabUTHSA team, @JordanBeckerPhD, Arad, Nadine, @Ashley_Auerbach, and @AdamZCheng for all the help throughout the last couple years, so happy to finish 2022 seeing this all come together 💚

Our results combine to suggest that the birth of A3B at a critical branchpoint in primate evolution may have been a driving force in selecting for an ancestral herpesvirus with an expanded RNR functionality through counteraction of this antiviral enzyme
