Talking jellies and microbes at the most recent congressional night at the museum. With @abcollens.bsky.social and Cam Oathout (and others not pictured). Got a chance to introduce some of my jellies to the Hope Diamond. #MarineLife outreach is fun

Last week, I had so much fun talking about #microbes, #bioinformatics_education, and my Ph.D. experience at @univofmaryland.bsky.social at #ABRCMS2024! I met so many undergrads doing amazing research and faculty who care about building a resilient and equitable research future in biology.
