For Renee Good, Keith Porter, Alex Pretti, Geraldo Lunas Campos and the dozens more who have been murdered at the hands of ICE. ICE out of Baltimore. ICE out of Minneapolis. ICE out of EVERYWHERE.

Taken from the NYT article re: today’s ACIP vote on the combo MMRV vaccine. This would truly be comical if it weren’t real life.

Officially finished out #ASV2025 with the best crew! What a privilege it was to spend 4 full days totally immersed in learning about the incredible research being done across the globe. #lovevirology and #lovemylab

Come see me at #ASV2025 P26-14 tonight! (a couple of rookies moves on my 1st poster session go: over ironed & a little big for the space BUT it made it here!)

📍Olive et Gourmando Another great breakfast spot. Lattes were heavenly as was the sweet ricotta with honey & orange zest. I think my husband enjoyed his French toast too, but I cannot report on this as he didn’t share.

📍Rôtisserie la lune This family style rotisserie recently received the Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction for being accessible yet exceptional food. The cucumber salad was to die for.

Chicken, gravy, cucumber salad, and ribs!

Oh, and that’s me in 📍Old Montréal looking for shade. Turns out, we brought Maryland heat + humidity with us. Sorry!

📍Marche Atwater This spot reminded me of Pike Place. Large outdoor market with everything you could possibly crave or imagine.

📍September Cafe Best pancakes I’ve ever had. Excellent cortado too. We were told by a local last night, “you must eat there for breakfast. Locals will stand in line for hours just to get into that place.” He wasn’t wrong. By the time we finished, there was a line down the street to get in.

📍Terrasse William Gray Food was excellent. Views are stunning. Reservations needed. I’m told by locals that this is *the* place to view weekly Thursday night fireworks display put on by the city.

Some favorites from two 📍Catonsville No Kings events today. People driving by were overwhelmingly supportive & many had their cars decorated in support. It is an ever-welcome reminder that most people stand against this administration & the atrocities they are committing.

Protesters, including a person protesting wearing a taco outfit with a sign saying “only you can prevent fascist liars”

I was too scared of oncoming buses to get better photos, but #Baltimore turned out against Kevin Roberts of Project2025. No fascists welcome!

I know, I know. Science is under attack. The future of *waves hand around…* everything feels very uncertain. So going to try and celebrate the wins where I can… Received word that my 1st abstract has been accepted for what will be my 1st ever poster presentation. 🙂

📍District 1 Town Hall (Woodlawn HS) If you can attend a town hall in your district in-person or by livestream - please do so. The dominos from this admin’s egregious actions are falling all around, and it’s not a matter of if - but when - it’ll impact you too. 1/n

#StandUpForScience 2025 was incredible. Facts will always prevail and fascism will inevitably fail. It’s a long and challenging road ahead, but we’ll get there friends. Also, shout out to my boss for the screenshot of me & my labmate waving to the livestream just before Bill Nye came on! 😆

Ready to #StandUpForScience tomorrow in DC! I tried to think of something clever, but opted for a simple yet direct message.

A view from the lab. Choosing to focus on things like this sunset over West Baltimore instead of the newsfeed today.

My contribution to this year’s lab gift exchange (modeled by the youngest). Gotta say, I’m pretty pleased with the fringe. 💁‍♀️ I suppose if things go really bad for academic research with the incoming admin, I could fall back on science fashion design? 🤷‍♀️ (😕… but yikes, let’s hope not.)

#SpotifyWrapped tracks. Cowboy Carter was a banger. Synth-pop & moody indie rock is timeless. One that I’m surprised didn’t make the cut: Streetlight Manifesto.

Bluesky, meet Duncan. Loves crocs and waking me up at 5am (earlier if it’s particularly cold & rainy). Has no respect for personal space. All good boy.

On twitter, I posted a lot about music, politics, food, and my dog - but a bit of a science-wallflower. Here, it’ll probably be much the same, but hoping to dabble more in science-engagement now too. So here is a picture of some of my transformed yeast KOs to start: 🧫 END 🧵
