We had an amazing visit by two High Tech High Mesa junior high school classes! They all went sampling with the lab, including plating rotten substrates to look for C. elegans and other nematodes. They also watched a presentation from our Host-Bacteria Workshop alumni and took a tour of campus. Thanks to Meghan White and Ryan Urie for bringing their classes and helping organize the visit!

Last day of the conference and we got a lovely picture with our close collaborator and my mentor Marie-Anne Felix! Now the lab will split up as everyone travels around the world for vacations. Thanks to Erin Osborne Nishimura for taking this picture of us!
Congratulations Dalaena for an Honorable Mention for your poster: Conjugative plasmids may be necessary for adherence of commensal-like bacteria to C. elegans intestinal epithelium.
So proud of everyone for representing our lab and research with posters, talks, and networking!
We all arrived safely in Glasgow for the 24th C. elegans Meeting in Glasgow!
We have 6 undergraduates graduating this semester! Congratulations to Cece, Kayla, Makaela, Meena, Nathan, and Sandra the Class of 2023!!!
We went bowling with the House lab and also played a little ping pong. Thanks to Omar for organizing this.
We found phage that can infect microbiome bacteria in C. elegans. Thanks to Hamza Hajama from Anca Segall’s lab!!!
We are hunting for phage that can infect C. elegans microbiome bacteria around campus. The first pass plasmid is to go to areas where we normally find wild C. elegans to look for bacteriophage.
We had our first outreach for the Host-Bacteria Interactions Workshop! Undergrads Venus, Aaliyah, and Amanda presented their findings to juniors at High Tech High Mesa.
