In case you needed a reason to go do a PhD with @APHage_ (other than the awesome science!)
Dr. @rabiafatima_ has "tPASsed". Too many feels. Thank you @implosian - sorry you couldn't make it for the presentation of the warhammer. I do get asked if I fear the graduates will use them against me... no! Not in public, anyway - they're all far too smart to get caught.

Another step forward towards the post-plaque era! Great work helping to drag the phage field into the 21st Century. Many core methodologies we use to study phages haven't changed since they were invented almost 100 years ago
Finally, the preprint on my postdoc work from the past 3 years! With mentorship from @PaulTurnerLab and @EmonetLab, I developed a microscopic technique to measure attachment of viruses #phages to bacterial cells @YalePhage @QbioYale .
