Thank you Katrina Ray for highlighting our work!

Colon cancer is pretty nasty—and scientists have now identified a very specific oral bacterium that may drive its progression. Thanks to Susan Bullman Dr. Martha Zepeda Rivera 🇲🇽 (she/her) CJohnstonLab for sharing your work, and Lauren J. Young for the edits! My first for Scientific American.

A study led by CJohnstonLab and Susan Bullman published in nature suggests that a subtype of Fusobacterium nucleatum underlies #colorectalcancer growth in humans and could be useful in screening and treatments. bit.ly/4ajjZ4j

Incredibly proud to have this work out today, congratulations to the entire team of amazing scientists that helped make this possible!

If you’re Mexican or Latino, did your parents also give you coffee as a small child? I remember I had my own little coffee mug when I was like 4.

Embrace the chaos! ⚾️

Employees are not resources to manage. They’re humans to value.

Bad managers only care about your results. Good managers care about your well-being. Great managers care more about your well-being than your results.

We do our best work when leaders put people above performance.
