Excited to be in DC for #TAGC24! I'm giving a talk this Saturday 3/9 9AM/Comparative Genomics session. Come learn how flies co-opted novel anti-parasitoid effectors from phages! Should have a little something for everybody (evolution! endosymbiosis! immunity! fly genetics!)


“Para mi doctorado, estudio la evolución de las interacciones entre las avispas y las moscas, porque en la naturaleza los dos son enemigos. Yo me enfoco en…como las moscas evolucionaron para luchar contra las avispas.” –@kirvers @UCBerkeley @berkeleyIB youtu.be/9iQz8rk7bDU

Our bee ball paper is now featured on @PNASNews 🐝🐝🐝🔥🔥🔥🐝🐝🐝 Thanks @amygmcdermott for the beautiful summary of our work and @CraigMontell1 for the comments. Very excited to read this piece! pnas.org/post/journal-c…




So happy to receive a phone call from the @NSF saying I was recommended for funding for the #PRFB! This picture of a Polistes wasp, taken TEN years ago at my first REU, summarizes how ecstatic I'm feeling :)
