Is the scientific paper a fraud? Peter Medawar (Nobel Prize winner) suggested that publications are overly structured and formal, giving only a sanitized version of the discovery without revealing the thought process that actually led to it.

You want to run antibiotic MICs according to best-practice clinical microbiology protocols, but you are not sure how? Our article will walk you through it all! Great to work with Nikol Ayesha Mahmood and a pleasure to publish in npj Antimicrobials and Resistance. rdcu.be/dZp04 #AMR

As elusive as Banksy, the googly eye bandit of Cork has returned for #GE24

Kudos to the authors for reporting negative findings. Paper in Med by Cell Press shows no associations between gut microbiota and BMI, overweight, obesity, body composition, or adiposity. Notably, there was also no association between early-life gut microbiota and later obesity.
