Sharing this beautiful story by @washingtonpost’s @MJ_Coren about how his trip with our @calacademy scientists led him to fall in love with moths and discover why “mothing” may be the best way to discover the miracle of biodiversity in your own backyard. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…





Delighted that Prof. Shannon Bennett, Cheif of Scince from California Academy of Science, came all the way to conduct workshops on #virus evolution, #phylogenetic analysis, #microbiome and #metagenomics. @aicbusjp @DinukaAri @chandi2012

Urge Duke University to Reconsider Closing Their Herbarium chng.it/tX6R5JgD via @Change

Our lab has just returned from 3 wks in Curacao resurveying our monitoring sites during the ongoing coral bleaching event. Despite the heartbreak of witnessing the reefs' deterioration and the loss of century-old colonies, there were also hopeful signs of recovery and resilience






An achievement I have been able to realize largely due to the support and mentorship of folks like @LaBeaud_Lab, @morde, @KristinSainani, @MicrobeExplorer, and @JasonAndrewsMD! Excited to continue working with such smart scientists to tackle important infectious disease problems.
