While I madly polish up my spoken French, I cannot wait to speak at Le Monde's International Festival of Journalism in Couthures-sur-Garonne next month 🛫 🇫🇷 🥖 🥐 Wonderful to be working with Anne Guion on a panel discussion…lnkd.in/gbm-PPys lnkd.in/gruDi5Zj

See #microbiome science from Gloria Dominguez-Bello & @blaserlab on the big screen 🎥🎞️ as part of Melbourne Documentary Film Festival! mdff.org.au/films/the-invi…

I'm so looking to speaking at this festival next week. I'll be talking mental health, food and microbiome, nature and the workplace environment...all in French! lnkd.in/ghXMczeu

1/ The Australasian Human Microbiome Research Network (#AHMRN) is a network of diverse microbiome-scientists, working to enhance the quality of #microbiome research and facilitate new collaborations.

I'm chuffed to have been featured in Le Monde's La Vie magazine today, with my thoughts on nature and mental health. A few key points in English: - Natural light provides time-of-day signalling to our brains so is essential for c…lnkd.in/gRccFke7 lnkd.in/g-fThBCc

The best stuff happens with cross pollination between disciplines! It was wonderful to discuss the intersection between microbiome and biophilic design research with Oliver Heath Design. Thank you Oliver Heath Design, Rosa, & 15below for your genero…lnkd.in/gb4ApBm8

Ce n’est pas un mythe : la nature nous apaise et nous fait du bien. Mais pourquoi et comment ? Éléments de réponse avec la psychologue australienne Dr Amy Loughman qui viendra nous en parler au Festival international de journalisme. +d'infos : festivalinternationaldejournalisme.com/evenement/comm… lavie.fr/ma-vie/sens-et…

Wonderful to see @FeliceJacka Dr Tetyana Rocks 🇺🇦 and Megan Pilon in action translating evidence into education yesterday at the London Summer School Food & Mood Centre . Practical and nuanced messages about the nutritional psychiatry in practice 👏🏼

'Green brain capital' is one of those interdisciplinary ideas that sounds quirky at first glance. But once you sit with it, it seems obvious to combine brain health and environmental health. Humans are a part of nature after all. What would happen if we m…lnkd.in/gfe6Wgns

Great discussion from Elisa Hill and Applied and Environmental Microbiology Group after the The Invisible Extinction (microbiome documentary) screening at The 10th Melbourne Doc Fest / Naarm Doco Film Fest last night! Highly recommend the film feat. @BlaserLab (and their cute love story with Gloria Dominguez-Bello 💕) 🦠🧫👶🏻

🚨🦠💩Public #microbiome event SAHMRI on August 28, "MicrobioME 2023 Public Session" with the great Knight Lab and an expert "Poo & A" session with our very own Dr Hannah Rose Wardill eventbrite.com.au/e/microbiome-2…

Thrilled to share my 3rd PhD pub @IntJEatDisord 😄 Challenges and priorities for researching the gut microbiota in individuals living with anorexia nervosa - West - International Journal of Eating Disorders - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ea…

Last day vibes! A huge thank you to my colleagues @foodandmoodcentre for lovely words & delicious cakes to celebrate my departure after 6 yrs of microbiome research Deakin University I’m excited to take some time off & lean back into clinical neuropsychology + other pursuits 🏝️🤓😎

Excited to explore new frontiers at the Association of Neuroscience for Architecture ANFA conference in San Diego this week. So far many parallels with microbiome field: highly interdisciplinary, high levels of curiosity and experimentation, wide range of methods/approaches

Purposeful return to the office is key to attracting everyone back. @plastarc ANFA shows us that the personality trait that responds most to leader expectations of office attendance is conscientiousness. Yet these people don't feel as productive in the office 👩‍💻🧑‍💻🏢

Yasaman Gholami and colleagues present on design factors that support social interactions in #mci (mild cognitive impairment) @anfa : semi-transparent spatial partitions, various and flexible seating layout & designing circulation areas adjacent to socialisation areas.

More from @anfa 🦜🌊. An 8 minute break with nature sounds changes pre-frontal cortex activity in a subsequent design task cf 8 mins of silence. Functional connectivity is increased, recruitment of oxygenated hb was more sustained + the task was perceived as less demanding 🧠.

Microbiome meets biophilia + design. Eric Corey Freed asks "what if the cancer facility could become part of treatment?" Aligning architectural elements to biology and sensory experience. Love it. ANFA

Had a great time presenting in San Diego at #INKS2023 after an enlightening few days soaking up the sunshine and the world of ketogenic diet therapies.

Bioinformatics meets the gut-brain axis Really proud of our postdoc bioinformatician Thomaz Bastiaanssen, PhD who led these papers in Nature Mental Health with Thom Quinn & Dr Amy Loughman "Bugs as features: concepts and foundations for the compositional data analysis of the microbiome–gut–brain axis"
