Characteristic interests and activities
Watching movies of all sorts, reading books that have nothing to do with
science, reading books that have everything to do with science, singing
loudly and off key in my car, large
fuzzy microbes, and surrounding myself with great people who make me
laugh.
Home mentor's research interests
Synthesis and regulation of cell wall components involved in capsule
binding in Cryptococcus neoformans
Fungal populations in stressed ecological environments
Using microbial forensics to link individuals and their personal
microbial profiles to particular objects and crime scenes
