I am broadly interested in innate immunology. I am in the 4th year of my PhD studying the host-pathogen interaction between the intracellular fungus _Histoplasma capsulatum_ and macrophages.

This is a test marginnote. If this worked you will see a copy of my headshot. I'm not sure how large this image will appear, I hope it's reasonably sized.
{{% /marginnote %}} There are many unstudied curiosities regarding the innate immune response to _Histoplasma spp._ and other intracellular fungi that I think are quite interesting. Stay tuned, hopefully there is a major breakthrough to report here someday.

Besides my science, I am interested in birding, baking sourdough bread (I swear I began years before the pandemic, though hearing of people baking bread brings me joy no matter when they first began!), board games, roasting coffee, and self-hosting free and open source software. Over the course of the pandemic, I have learned how to maintain a basic suite of services on a server I rent that have replaced my need for Google Photos and Google Drive.

I'm hoping to be able to move away from these platforms entirely soon. I think they provide a great service, but at a substantial cost to privacy. Hopefully more to be said about my thoughts on FOSS soon!
{{% /sidenote %}} I also transitioned my old, (and quite frankly, embarassingly slow) managed Wordpress site with this lean, static site made in Hugo that I host myself. I'm quite proud of my progress in this regard.
{{% /sidenote %}} I also transitioned my old, (and quite frankly, embarassingly slow) managed Wordpress site with this lean, static site made in Hugo that I host myself. Now that I have mangled together some CSS to get my precious sidenotes up and running again, I'm ready to begin putting some ideas to paper.

I love marginalia. I'm not sure if this is unique to me, but I seem to get caught up in parenthetical / tangential thoughts very often, and I think using an [Edward Tufte-esque](https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0000ld) sidenote is a great way for me to communicate in this way without distracting the reader too much. It seems[ marginalia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginalia) such as this has been used throughout history for this purpose for some time. The implementation I use is inspired by the [Tufte CSS project](https://github.com/edwardtufte/tufte-css) and largely taken from [this incredibly helpful post found at scripter.co](https://scripter.co/sidenotes-using-only-css/).
