It's the most wonderful time of the year! @EricSkaar


Another taste test in the @EricSkaar Lab: category...chocolate 🍫! Nichole Maloney almost took home the trophy again with Laceys Cookies from Trader Joe's, but I am proud to announce that my Tuxedo Cake from Costco pulled through for the win! #SkaarLabBracket

There were a lot of good cheeses out there today, and I'm sad mine lost. Tough day for the Toscano with Black Pepper. #SkaarLabBracket

Nichole Maloney for the win! Unexpected cheddar is the 2023 Trader Joe’s favorite from the @EricSkaar lab #SkaarLabBracket

Very excited for my first ever conference as a grad student, Anaerobe in Seattle! Tbh, it will be a little weird finally putting a face to all the names of the authors whose papers I read.

Curious about how cellular zinc (Zn) is trafficked to metalloproteins? New work from @EricSkaar and @GiedrocLab detailing the first Zn metallochaperone, ZNG1, published in @CellCellPress Thread between me and co-first author @SciSciScientist below. authors.elsevier.com/c/1f5G7L7PXioLf


So sad to see @J_R_Sheldon have her last day in lab 😭! The Sheldon Lab soon to start @usask!

The final chapter from my postdoc projects in the @EricSkaar lab is now out in @ASMicrobiology Too much of a good thing suppresses neutrophils during S. aureus infection. Next up: Find a destination for the future Monteith Lab! journals.asm.org/doi/abs/10.112…

Too much manganese in your diet makes it hard for your neutrophils to fight Staph infections. New work from ⁦@AJMonty6⁩ ⁦@ASMicrobiologyjournals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ia…

Happy #InternationalDayofGirlsAndWomeninScience 👩‍🔬🔬🎉! These powerful and talented Skaar lab ladies are an inspiration to me everyday. There’s a village of talented women in science @VI4Research . We challenge the @IG_lab, @BacterialTalk and @CassatLab to help us represent!

Now out in @J_Immunol, work from @EricSkaar lab fuses my background in autoimmunity and host-pathogen interactions to answer why #lupus patients are susceptible to bacterial infection. Thanks @LeslieCrofford and @JeffRathmell labs for the collaboration! jimmunol.org/content/early/…


Great talk today by @cait_murdoch on her, and @SciSciScientist's, discovery of a putative Zn metallochaperone in the @EricSkaar lab!
