By far one of the coolest things I saw during my hours of slide observations:
You're looking at what are supposed to be the leaflets of the mitral valve. However, they've become so overwhelmed by pneumococci (purple clouds) that they've transformed into the masses you see below.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.
With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.
If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

What's next is TBD - with today's climate and all...
I'm FINALLY rested enough to share that I've officially defended my thesis! I was so glad to get to share my work with everyone! Be on the lookout out for the publication... Coming soon 😉

On Feb. 7 the National Institute of Health (NIH) announced it is capping facilities & administration costs (also known as indirect costs) to 15% starting Feb. 10. This will devastate science & scientific research in the U.S. Email your members of Congress now: asm.org/Articles/Pol...

Started my 2025 with a trip to Baltimore for a bioinformatics intensive with our long-time collaborator Dr. Hervé Tettelin! A very eventful and very productive week! 😄

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
