The "Ph" word...

I gave a research rounds talk on Wednesday, and despite it being carefully calibrated to drive a graduate student of mine up the wall, she still took this picture of me for the website. Thanks!

The talk was the first opportunity I’ve had to share a really fantastic (phantastic?) new phage detection tool, and having an audience of clinicans really forced me to craft this story carefully. Also, I used props. There’s nothing quite like seeing plaques first hand to realize this stuff actually works!
