I'm struggling to comprehend all that's happening in the world right now. So instead, I'm trying to focus on positives. Here's a visual of the gardening plan for this summer. Super fun to do, overcomes tariffs, and the definition of locally grown. Any other science gardeners here? #newPI #gardening

So I might have been premature in declaring Spring in Victoria. But a very happy Bernadoodle frolicking in the snow.

Tonight I'm celebrating some amazing news from this morning (still embargoed). This is something I'm incredibly proud to receive and I hope it leads to some amazing science. It means even more in these uncertain times.
And yes, there are already blooms in Victoria.

What is the best birthday present for a virologist/bacteriologist?
I think this is a very close contender! So excited to read it in full, and a gorgeous edition too!

Prepping holiday gifts for the UVic BCMB faculty and staff - lemon, pistachio and milk chocolate praline macarons. This year I made a total of 470. #newPI #macaron #presents

A great way to start posting on #bluesky
A holiday gathering for most of the Goncheva and @stephentuffs.bsky.social labs tonight to celebrate the end of the semester. Also featuring science dog Storm
