Thrilled to see our paper on #kelp #microbiome out! A fantastic team of #WomenInSTEM @JMarkWelch @BrookeWeigel Catherine Pfister Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Microbiome visual abstract 👇 wibbitz.com/watch/b1c812ca…

So excited to present my work at #Bostonbacterial22! See you Monday 🔬🧫👩🏻‍🔬

Welcome Dr. Jessica Mark Welch who has joined Forsyth as a senior faculty member of staff. Dr. Welch studies the spatial organization of microbial communities using spectral imaging microscopy and genomic techniques.

Take a look at the bacteria on "your" tongue in this #FluorescenceFriday 😛🔬👩🏽‍🔬This is the kind of fun research we do The ADA Forsyth Institute

At a recent conference, most talks ended with an ad for postdocs. Unchanged NIH modular budgets, low postdoc salaries, visa complications, uncertain career prospects, are problems. Yet the U.S. research model depends on postdocs. Something has to change. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Our paper with @JMarkWelch, Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Revealing the microhabitat taxon specificity in corncobs structures of dental plaque is out! Here the link rdcu.be/cU1AL

Finally, two papers out within a day of each other from the Susan Bullman and CJohnstonLab relating to the intratumoral microbiota, today in nature (doi.org/10.1038/s41586…) and yesterday in Cell Reports (doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…). 🧵below to those interested!

We are glad to see Tabita Ramirez 's work featured on the poster for the Boston Bacterial Meeting! Dr. Ramirez-Puebla explains, "This image shows a dense and diverse microbial community around a core of human tongue cells."

Congratulations to Dr. Gary Borisy for receiving an S10 grant to purchase the Zeiss LSM 980 microscope!

Just one more day left to register! For more information and to register please visit: bostonbacterial.org

You can't leave out microbes when talking about the tongue! Science Magazine's deep dive covered it all and featured some Forsyth imaging. Scroll to the bottom of the article to see @JMarkWelch's explanation of microbial communities on the tongue. science.org/content/articl…

Join us for the 6th Annual Scientific Symposium The ADA Forsyth Institute! This year is focused on the #oralmicrobiome 😝🧬🔬We have an incredible lineup of speakers, so be sure to check them out 👇👇Call for abstracts is now open forsyth.org/the-oral-micro…

I am thrilled to share with you my recently published work showcasing the distribution of Gemella species in the oral cavity using metapangenomics. This accomplishment was made possible by the extraordinary team at @Forsyth. Congratulations! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Why do bacteria live in specific parts of the mouth? Forsyth scientists have been working to answer this question. Julian Torres Morales and the @JMarkWelch / Gary Borisy labs recently published a paper that adds to our understanding. Read the full article here ow.ly/z4U350OZKia

Join the @JMarkWelch lab and do great science!

Our paper Journal of Dental Research on “Improved visualization of oral microbial consortia" is now published detailing our approach to improve image quality of bacteria on the tongue🔬😝 @JMarkWelch The ADA Forsyth Institute #imaging #oralmicrobiome #oralbiofilm #oralmicrobiology journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…
