The real cool thing about the collaboration with Denali and Matthias Hess is that we will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock industry as well as the amount of waste that would otherwise go to the landfill. Waste like this pile of tortilla waste....

SAVE THE DATE!🗓️ Very excited to share that the 2024 State of the Science Summit: Reducing Methane from Animal Agriculture will be held on May 21 & 22 in the UC Davis ARC Ballroom. View last year's agenda here. 👇 caes.ucdavis.edu/news/events/Fe…

Exciting opportunity for early career researchers to spread awareness of microbiome data stewardship. The National Microbiome Data Collaborative is soliciting applications for the 2024 NMDC Ambassador Program: microbiomedata.org/ambassadors/

Our first paper, on COVID-19 infection fatality ratios, from a wonderful collaboration, we literally started the week before the virus shut down the entire world.... tinyurl.com/bdeaaa8c Thank you everyone involved for turning the shutdown into a very productive opportunity.

Check out Conor McCabe's video on LinkedIn (shorturl.at/bhqV9) about the great interdisciplinary work that is conducted at the CLEAR Center CA&ES, UC Davis under the leadership of Prof Mitloehner (aka Frank Mitloehner) to curb enteric methane.

Matthias Hess is excited to be part of the solution by improving our understanding of the microbial processes that drive rumen function and by identifying advanced ways to alter these microbial processes towards less methane and healthier animals.

Check out a recent paper we co-authored with the Hedlund Lab at UNLV, describing the first hyperthermophilic GH50 with β-1,3-endoglucanase activity.... frontiersin.org/journals/micro…

I am very excited about a new project w. colleagues in Australia. We will develop new strategies to boost cattle health and productivity by reducing enteric methane production. A press release by the AUS Govnmt provides a great summary of our project. statements.qld.gov.au/statements/100…

Exciting news: the first manuscript from our collaboration w/ Spencer Diamond at Innovative Genomics Institute and our project to reduce enteric methane sponsored by The Audacious Project is now available on BioRvix: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out this video that explains the importance and some details of the work that is currently underway at the Matthias Hess and the Lab of Ermias Kebreab at UC Davis and the Innovative Genomics Institute at UC Berkeley to reduce methane emissions from cattle. ow.ly/VKQ050SlatZ
