project schematic for WildMBI: Objective 1 investigating the intrinsic link of glucocorticoid (i.e. stress) levels, flight initiation distance (i.e. a measure of risk aversion) and social position (i.e. sociality); Objectives 2 and 3 assessing the magnitude and potential pathways of bidirectional interactions between the gut microbiome (microbial DNA and RNA) and the brain.
Happy to announce that I started my MSCA fellowship this month, working on microbiome - behaviour interactions @sihorses.bsky.social. First 2 years @UCalgary followed by 1 year @UniExeter. With @jocelynpoissant.bsky.social & @ali--wilson.bsky.social
