Happy Postdoc Appreciation Week
Lab picnic in the botanical gardens on campus to celebrate our postdoc Anupama!
Our undergraduate Yesenia is featured in SDSU news with her continuing work on wild worms discovered in our Host-Bacterial Interactions Workshop! link here
Bacteria (Leucobacter celer, white arrow) causing worm star formation, leading to worm breakage and decapitation.
We are celebrating a great year for the lab, with one PhD and two Master’s students graduating, along with a series of great research discoveries made by everyone!
Celebrating at the famous Sacher Hotel over a Sacher torte!
