Well, I just was denied the COVID vaccine in Cleveland, Ohio. I can’t begin to express the rage I feel at being barred from protecting my vulnerable loved ones. My “senators” just got voicemails - I will keep calling until access to these safe and effective vaccines is restored. My body, my choice.

Hurray, it is finally out! Meet bacteriophage Bxb1 - the subject of my first full-phage cryo-EM study. My structures are beautifully complemented by the Park Lab’s cryo-ET analysis, shedding light on mycobacteriophage structural changes during infection. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Structure and infection dynamics of mycobacteriophage Bxb1Mycobacteriophage Bxb1 is a well-characterized virus of Mycobacterium smegmatis with double-stranded DNA and a long, flexible tail. Mycobacteriophages…www.sciencedirect.com

Thanks for making this starter pack, Joscelyn! Awesome to see so many MOSAIC scholars assembling here in the bluer skies. So happy to connect!

LOVING the NIH BioArt effort! BUT… where are the phages?? Hoping to see some in the official release! Anyone know if there’s a mechanism to request additions? #PhageSky

I’m pleased to share that I’ll be joining Case Western Reserve University as an Assistant Professor of Physics, starting July 2025! Looking forward to returning to my Physics roots while continuing to investigate the wonderful world of phages. :)

Whoops, meant to tag #phagesky

Big congrats to Graham Hatfull on being elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences! I couldn’t ask for a better mentor. So glad to have had the opportunity to learn from him the last 7 (!) years!!

Home from my first ever ABRCMS and feeling, in a word, uplifted! I hope to come back year after year to cultivate friendships, learn from mentors, and connect with the amazing next generation of diverse scientists. Huge thanks to the ASM MOSAIC program for the warm welcome :)

Just test driving this new platform… apparently if I add a test tube my post will go to the ScienceSky feed? 🧪 And I suppose threads can be done with a string of comments on a post? So far so good… the waters do seem calmer here.

Hi, my name is Krista… a recent transplant from Science Twitter. I’m a postdoc studying bacteriophages - viruses that infect bacteria. When I’m not reconstructing cool phage structures or working on my faculty applications, I love traveling and exploring the great outdoors.
