New preprint from the lab led by grad student Dallas Moses! Our first adventure into watermelon found a bacterium that affects fungal virulence. 🍉 #NewPI #MicroSky #PlantPathology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

An endosymbiotic Paenibacillus sp. modulates disease severity caused by the common watermelon pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f sp. niveum
Fungal plant pathogens can be affected by the bacteria they interact with in their environment, yet the characterization of these interactions beyond direct antagonism is lacking, especially in the ca...

Me and my poster had a busy week last week! I presented at the Penn State Gamma Sigma Delta Research Expo and the university’s Graduate Exhibition. I had so much fun talking about my science and learning about others! 🧬

Thanks to those who stopped by at #2025ISMPMI to learn about bacteria that live inside fungi. It was great to hear your questions. So much to do in this area!! For those not here, please check out our preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Or mini-review: apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/...

We are *this* 🤏 close to having the first lab preprint posted for work only done since I started at Charlotte and I'm just so jazzed about it. Also the author list is 1 tech, 1 undergrad, 1 high schooler, 1 rotation student, 2 local collabs, & @bhuwanabbot.bsky.social which is lab goals to me 🏆.

Can confirm. Adding the F word to your google searches turns off AI summaries. E.g.: "how do massively parallel reporter assays work?" vs "how do f*cking massively parallel reporter assays work?"

An unfortunate truth I am discovering about myself is that I’m incredibly productive in the wrong context. In a seminar talk? I get lots done editing that preprint! In a research meeting? Time to write my slides for a talk on a different project! Why in the adhd am I like this.
