The #Rickettsia genus contains pathogenic tick-borne bacteria, but it's difficult to study live Rickettsia within a host.
New work led by @W_Melz (@goleylab) presents a set of quantitative methods to characterize the growth/division of R. parkeri.

Can we normalize saying Happy Native American Heritage Day (for Friday) when we say #HappyThanksgiving? Far too often Native groups (particularly the Wampanoag) are grossly misrepresented historically on this day. Makes me uncomfortable not acknowledging the true history.
