Dr. Megan Kiedrowski

Excited to share the first paper from our lab is out as a preprint! @JoshuaHuffines established a dual-species culture model to investigate S. aureus-Corynebacterium interactions on nasal cells & how temperature influences bacterial persistence & cytotoxicity

If you have an idea for science you want to see at the next @ASMicrobiology Microbe meeting, there's still time to get a session proposal in! Proposals due Aug. 1. Feel free to message me with questions asm.org/Events/ASM-Mic…

Did you know that more than 60% of sessions at #ASMicrobe are developed from proposals submitted by scientists like you? Help shape the program and ensure that the science presented. Act fast—the deadline to submit is Aug. 1! asm.social/1Z7

@UABDeptMed @MKRhoads Thank you! It's an honor to be recognized with this award recently renamed to recognize Dean Raegan Durant's important work.

👏 Kudos to @MKRhoads and @MicrobioMegan for being named the 2024 recipients of the DOM DREAM Council's "Everyone Can Dream" awards. This award recognizes their efforts toward becoming independent investigators. 🎉 Congrats, Drs. Rhoads and Kiedrowski!

@theironark Yup, looks like a bull weevil

Fellow tweeps, any idea what this insect is? Some sort of beetle? It’s about 3 mm in length

@AJMonty6 @UTKMicrobiology @ImmunologyAAI Congrats! Hope to see you at ASM too!

Bailey Holder representing @UTKMicrobiology well at #immunology2024 with a wonderful talk on when neutrophils ‘decide’ when to release NETs. If you missed it, check out her poster later this afternoon! #AAI2024 @ImmunologyAAI

Volunteers needed to judge undergraduate research presentations at the UAB spring Expo in April! Great opportunity for grad students to get involved & is a nice addition to your CV @UAB_GBS @UAB_GBSO givepul.se/v0v9cu

@lawrenzlab Not a bad location for a meeting!

This bill was just approved by the committee in a 7-3 vote. Alabama senator refiles 'divisive concepts' bill, adds anti-DEI language alabamareflector.com/2024/02/21/ala… via @ALReflector

@S_AzimiLab @GSU_Biology @PeachyPotato11 Sounds like a good idea for an informal seminar series! How's student turnout/attendance in the AM?

Great opportunity to learn skills for genetics in staphylococci

UAB has not communicated anything yet regarding this bill to faculty & staff to my knowledge. It deserves attention.

The Alabama Senate will hold a hearing on 2/21 at 11a that puts DEI initiatives at risk. "Diversity, equity, and inclusion; certain public entities prohibited from maintaining office that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion programs" legiscan.com/AL/bill/SB129/… @UABNews

Lastly, "public inst. of higher ed., required to designate multioccupancy restrooms based on biological sex"

@UABNews Bill will also address: "certain programs related to divisive concepts or diversity, equity, and inclusion, prohibited; promotion and endorsement of certain divisive concepts in certain public settings prohibited; exceptions provided"
