Introducing Foli-seq in @natbiotech.nature.com today. Foli-seq can be used to measure gut-derived RNA from fecal matter (signals of immune, secretory & epithelial cells). We used this to map gut inflammation, drug response, and host-microbe interactions. 💩🧬💊🦠

🚨I am looking for a POSTDOC, LAB MANAGER/TECH and GRAD STUDENTS to join my new lab in beautiful Madison, WI.
We study how our brains perceive and represent the physical world around us using behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging methods.

Lots of recent papers discuss the nucleus of the solitary tract in interoception. In this review, we take a sensory processing perspective on how interoceptive signals are encoded in the NTS:

Congrats!
Delighted our study (7+ years in the making) is out today in Nature. In a nutshell, 48 hours of antibiotics in week 1 led to impaired vaccine responses up to 15 months later in infants. We show (in-vivo) a probiotic can fix it #microbiome #science #immunology

Singapore study of 184 women found that daily probiotic Bifidobacterium longum NCC3001 during late pregnancy and postpartum did not ease anxiety or depression symptoms.
Results varied widely, suggesting more research is needed.

Curious about the gut microbiome & its impacts on sleep throughout the adult lifespan? 🦠😴
You're in luck! @isbscience.org PhD student Jacob Cavon led a review of this topic for the @amiposts.bsky.social journal Letters in Applied Microbiology (just accepted): academic.oup.com/lambio/advan...
I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
In this week’s @nature.com, we publish a group effort to outline a framework for studies with neural #organoids, #assembloids and transplantation. More details below 1/n
No worries. Thank you so much

This administration is destroying US science.
"Foreign scientists hired under Title 42 have even more reason to worry... their visas require they leave the country within 60 days unless they obtain a new position. Many have put down roots, bought houses & have children in school."

Great minds… within 24 hrs both us at @nature.com and @science.org make similar appeals to the research community. And @holdenthorp.bsky.social and I didn’t even exchange notes about it ;-)

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

Congratulations Ben, Jatin and team!
My brother is a wild-land forest fire fighter.
He wasn’t fired, but he says that the degraded workforce will struggle to function in the next fire season.
These are the heroes who risk everything to save lives and homes.
Interested in doing a PhD in Austria focused on understanding how to engineer the composition of the gut microbiota?
