Congratulations Ellie!! Always so excited to learn about your work ✨
I'm so excited my first first author work is out in @J_A_C_S today! It was great working with Hyung Joo and Matt. I'm really proud of the final story we were able to tell, and all of the (very) serendipitous observations along the way that pushed the project forward.

Thrilled that our @eLife #ReviewedPreprint is now online! Congrats to 1st author @Marisa_Egan11 & co-authors @emily_a_orourke, @MageswaranKumar, Biao Zuo, Inna Martynuk, @Tabi_Demi18, Emma Hunter, @antoniabass, @yiweichang, & @BrodskyIgor! Thank you to the editors & reviewers!
Very excited to share part of my thesis work in @SunnyShinLab's lab on bioRxiv: doi.org/10.1101/2023.07.17.5…! We found that inflammatory caspases and pyroptotic factors mediate inflammasome responses that restrict Salmonella replication primarily within the cytosol (1/13)
Congratulations to Aissata, the high school student who I had the great pleasure of mentoring in lab this summer! Shoutout to the @PennSAS LENS program for making this opportunity possible and to @SunnyShinLab for the support. Colleges better watch out for this rising star 🌟!
