We spend a load of money and analysed around 134 Homeopathy formulations including standard dilutions that are commonly prescribed by Homeopathic practitioners. This was done as part of our Placebo Project [a self funded project for public health]. A detailed paper will follow…

Quick view of some #FALL2023 sampling kits that went out this week, huge levels of engagement from BC #beekeepers !

These kits will be used to collect bee samples and monitor #overwintering survival, ultimately improving our knowledge on #microbiome -related health outcomes🍯

Congratulations to Dr. Brendan Daisley on receiving a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship! 🎉👏🧑‍🔬🧪

#UofG receives multiple Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships for researchers focused on climate change, food security, and the honeybee microbiome.

A productive week for the A-V lab this week! Not only did the amazing David Good @TG_Project become a PhD candidate, but these 2 excellent grads aced their defences and became Doctors Robinson and Wilde! Congratulations David, Avery and Jacob! And now I need a nap…

New in Anaerobe: Wilde and Emma Allen-Vercoe provide the first broad overview of temperate #bacteriophages infecting the enigmatic genus #Fusobacterium .

They showcase diverse induction strategies among three prophages in a single Fusobacterium host 👇
