For me the thought of moving from Mastodon to #threads would be like moving from a house I own outright into a rental owned by a creepy landlord

I've always been very proud to have a very diverse lab. I think this picture of our names in different languages sums it up nicely. Note it's an incomplete list because not all members were present (we would also have vietnamese).

#introduction
Hello everyone!
I’m an associate prof at Virginia Tech studying viral diversity. Lately my group has been focusing on giant viruses, but we are also interested in other protist viruses, and the role of viral endogenization in host genome evolution.

Recently we have been examining the strange and complex genes encoded in giant virus genomes!
