I'm heartbroken to share that Dr. Brandon Jutras, a former postdoc, has tragically passed away. He built a thriving lab at Northwestern Feinberg and became a leading voice in Lyme disease research. A brilliant scientist, devoted family man, and generous friend & colleague. He will be deeply missed.

Devastated to report that Brandon Jutras passed away a day or two ago. Brandon earned his PhD with me. He went on to be an Associate Professor at Northwestern University School of Medicine and a super star in Lyme research. A loving husband and father, a sincere friend, and a brilliant scientist 💔

If my calculations are correct, if you started watching Ted Lasso today and did one episode a day every day, you’d finish just in time for the new season the next day. And the timing is great, what with the World Cup winding up.
