It did not matter how much I protected myself, the virus caught up on me. Mild symptoms since Monday, most of them gone. Just constant fatigue now. It’ll get better! Take care of yourselves friends!

Great lab and great scientist.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Research Assistant II to work on how gut commensal bacteria influence host health! Please DM if you are interested in joining our team.

In case you were wondering how long immunity to Covid lasts, exactly 3 months. At least for me. Yeap, I got infected again.

Who’s going to the Society for Mucosal Immunology meeting in Seattle?

I’ll take it as a good sign when one of the editors for J. Exp. Med. stops by your student’s poster to tell us to think about her journal when we are ready to submit our manuscript.

I could not resist sharing this meme.

Outstanding work by grad student justinjacobse showing that IL-23 functions to negatively regulate intestinal Treg cells. Thanks to all our collaborators who contributed to this work! Cell Reports cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Here is a brief report from our lab about the effects of pasteurization in the levels of breastmilk osteopontin. This is a protein that we believe is critical for the development of the infant's immune system. I hope you find it interesting. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

One of the things I love from my work is the unexpected: we never thought about dipping our toes into the commensal-pathogen world, but here we are. I hope you enjoy it (a glitch in BioRxiv puts me not as the senior author. The PDF is correct) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Sharing our latest publication. A serendipitous observation that led us to find that the commensal Turicibacter confers protection from severe disease caused by Citrobacter. Hope you enjoy it! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ia…

Our latest publication about osteopontin (a key protein for a healthy gut) levels in breastmilk after pasteurization. Enjoy! nature.com/articles/s4139…
