You've heard of the emotional support water bottle, now get ready for the emotional support waste beaker. I had to throw out the contents of mine last night and I don't know if I'll ever fully recover

🚨 I am proud to present the latest work from the Coombes lab, published open-access, in Royal Society of Chemistry on our efforts to combat drug-resistant invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella disease. A short 🧵on the backstory and what we found... pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Great first day EFFERVESCENCE MTL. Plenty of insightful discussions. The future of life sciences in Montreal is looking strong!

Worming into infancy. Andrei Bogza Irah King Corinne Maurice examine interactions between #helminth infection & gut #microbiome maturation in early life & suggest models to explore their emergent properties on immune, microbial & infant development cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Why you should consider all members of the gut microbiome and the environment as a whole… it can shape your development!

Great collaboration with Irah King and Andrei Bogza ! And more to come 😊

Great news! Minister François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 has announced that all scholarships and fellowships will increase on September 1, 2024. This will positively impact thousands of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in Canada. canada.ca/en/innovation-…

One person I feel who is insufficiently appreciated is Hadley Wickham. The results of his work are everywhere, every journal and conference I know. He changed the history of science.

Exciting microbiome research symposium coming very soon in Montreal! Microbiome researchers and pholks, make sure you submit an abstract! Human, plant, soil, ecology, health, evolution, … there’s something for everyone!
