congratulations!!

Also thought it would be a good time reshare this blog post I wrote last year about why we get more respiratory illnesses in the winter: microbialmenagerie.com/why-do-we-ge...

6️⃣ Aside from bylined pieces, I also supported biotech companies with technical writing: 5 app notes, 3 white papers, and 1 journal manuscript. It's always so fun to go through the data and pull it together into an app note and I love doing white papers because I learn so much in the process.

5️⃣ For @nautilus.bio, I wrote about One Health and fungal pathogens. Fungi are often underappreciated compared to bacteria so I was glad to be able to write this. www.nautilus.bio/blog/proteom...

4️⃣ One more microbiology one. I got to dig deep into the squid-vibrio symbiosis for @asm.org's Microcosm magazine. This symbiosis is so interesting because vibrio bacteria colonize the squid and lights it up to hide the squid from predators. asm.org/magazine/202... [requires member log-in]

3️⃣ I came across a cool study about using menstrual blood as a source for biomarkers. I wrote a quick news story about it for Drug Discovery News: www.drugdiscoverynews.com/detecting-me...

2️⃣ I wrote a feature for The Scientist on endotoxin testing and how synthetic alternatives to horseshoe crab blood are making the industry more sustainable: www.the-scientist.com/horseshoe-cr...

1️⃣ I very much enjoyed projects where I got to bring in my microbiology background. For example, this blog post for Verb Biotics about the canine microbiome: verbbiotics.com/the-influenc...
