Re-reading some brilliant work by the Bohórquez lab The Bohórquez Lab In terms of distressing phrases you sometimes have to use in science, it's hard to get more bang for your buck than "rabies enema"...but it's a genius experimental tool. #sciencetwitter science.sciencemag.org/content/361/64…

I am slowly becoming convinced that making slides was somehow missed by Dante in his description of Hell's circles

When we participate in a Halloween competition, we bring some real culture.

Really enjoyed this conversation between two folks exceptionally passionate about microbiome science Jack A Gilbert (he/him/his) @gibbological

ONE MONTH until #TRISH's #Postdoc2201 solicitation closes! We are excited to review all the proposals and welcome a new class of postdocs to our Academy of Bioastronautics! Read more about the solicitation and submit your proposal: bddy.me/3ea2cBv

Whoop whoop! Congrats Lexi Rovner + 64x Bio!

Excited to kick off tomorrow's keynote for Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) with none other but Dorit Donoviel, Ph.D. from Translational Research Institute for Space Health and astronaut Scott Parazynski and Deep Space Food Challenge talk about how the microbiome matters not only for space health, but also the future of food, health, and medicine here on Earth.

Incredible. First thought was it looks like a darkfield microscopy shot of any microbial community (like poop or soil). Unexplored galaxies everywhere we look.

Things I wish I had access to when launching Holobiome as a first-time founder...this

The microbiome field has been watching -- great to see a positive vote for both safety + efficacy from the FDA's AdCom meeting for RBX2660 (Rebyota). Big congrats to @Rebiotix. A significant milestone + just the start of the incredible potential in manipulating our microbes

When passions for poop science and writing intersect - a great read from Stephen Skolnick, one of my favorite Holobionts.

Super excited to see this published --> a pilot placebo-controlled FMT trial for depression, the first of its kind. What a beast of a study to get done during a pandemic. Sets us up well for a powered trial (first link = protocol; results = linked at the end of the thread).

I'm ready for this! Can't wait to participate in my first SynBioBeta and share how we're using our microbiology-first platform to map the gut-brain-axis. If the pre-conference call (with around 150 attendees) is an indication of the energy of the event, it's going to be a blast!

Love these "Visions of the Future" posters from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA . I'm thinking we need something similar for what our microbial future will be. jpl.nasa.gov/galleries/visi…
