In honor of TS announcing her engagement (congrats!) I’d like to propose that she would make an excellent virology teacher (in addition to English teacher). Just in case she is considering a career change.

So many emotions right now, but especially proud of Shah Lab’s SEVEN graduating seniors! It was nice to take a deep breath amidst all the chaos with this incredible group and celebrate their accomplishments. Catch them at UCSF, UC Riverside, med school, and industry!

Everything is shit but it’s a Lizzo kind of day in the Shah Lab. Congrats to our newest PHD CANDIDATE Taylor Pullan! Look out for exciting Shah Lab research cooked up entirely by Taylor in the future!

Everything is shit, but I had a fantastic time visiting University of Toledo (where I first learned to love research in “the late 1900s”). Special thanks to the graduate students who hosted me for their annual research forum!
