@isbscience.org's Dr. Mary Brunkow gave a "practice talk" for her Nobel Lecture, and it was riveting! Mapping the Foxp3 locus was an arduous task in the late 90s, and this recognition is a fitting tribute. Thrilled for you, Mary! Your humility and grace are a wonderful example for all of us.
Please join us on Dec 12th for the 2025 @isbscience.org Virtual Microbiome Symposium, focused on "Gut Microbial Metabolites and Their Impact on Host Systems".
Co-organized by @gibbological.bsky.social
Registration is free & we have a fantastic line-up of experts!

Only St Louisans from the 70’s and 80’s would know this is the greatest song of all time. #StL youtu.be/jD1WVrPwjQU?...
This tune is such a perfect musical shibboleth for identifying fellow 70's/80's St. Louisans. Sing "Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah, bah-bah, bah-bah-bah..." and anyone who frequented Wehrenberg theaters during that time will complete the tune easily. Love it.
Some really beautiful biochemistry here. Seeing one dalton shifts to pinpoint how an enzyme from a nutrition-therapy-linked microbe works must be gratifying. Basic biochemistry lighting the way on an important problem. Congrats to my buddy Sid (@flash-point.bsky.social) and team on this one!
Last month, my co-first author, Dr. Jiye Cheng and I reported the identification of a gut microbial enzyme that impacts satiety-related signaling pathways in undernourished children treated with a microbiota-directed complementary food.
