I guess that would answer the question whether there are more eyes or legs on our planet.

Finally, huge thanks to the @snsf.ch for believing in this journey — from postdoc to PI.
Can’t wait to build the lab, the science, and the next generation of parasite biologists.

And heartfelt thanks to Isabel Roditi, whose mentorship has guided me for years.
She also made it possible for me to attend the Biology of Parasitism course at Woods Hole, an experience that changed my academic career in an indescribable way.

Grateful to all mentors, peers, friends, and family who supported me — especially my wife, Natalie. ❤️
Special thanks to @striepenlab.bsky.social, for freedom, trust, and inspiration at @upenn.edu. 
One lasting lesson: admire what worked before worrying about what didn’t.

My future lab will study the genetic and transcriptional basis of parasite virulence and persistence in #Cryptosporidium, with a sprinkle of new tool development along the way.

Beautiful! Congratulations!

Es ist sozusagen unbegreiflich.

Congrats! :-)

Thanks to all co-authors—especially my shared first author Gracyn 🙌
