When I'm not hard at work, I enjoy reading, running, playing tennis, and spending time with my son, Julian.

A Michigan fan from birth!

My husband, Tommy Auchtung, is also a microbiologist and a graduate student in Colleen Cavanaugh's lab at Harvard Univeristy. He's passionate about Korarchaeota, a division of Archaea that is thought to be deeply rooted on the evolutionary tree. One perk about studying Korarchaeota is the interesting places he goes to collect samples (Yellowstone National Park, Kamchatka, Russia, the bottom of the ocean.) Unfortunately, I don't get to go along. Here's a link to his website: http://www.mcb.harvard.edu/losick/BBM/tommy/


Teaching and Mentoring Experiences

CO-INSTRUCTOR, MIT FIELD TRIP FOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE CLASSES (Annual, 2005 – 2007)
As an outreach to the community, the MIT biology department invites students and teachers from biology classes at local area high schools to spend the day at MIT and experience biology research. Here's a link to a webiste describing the Bio department's high school outreach: http://mit.edu/biology/www/outreach/precollege.shtml .
