Any postdoc/research fellows interested in nutritional and molecular epidemiology using multi-omics in multi-ethnic populations, come join us!

Good Morning #Nashville! The upward creep in #coronavirus we've observed over the past few weeks continues... 7-day average % positives ⬆️at 9.5%. High community transmission puts our vulnerable at risk - let's push this curve back down to protect everyone. Happy Weekend ☀️🌿

Our paper on #cardiovascular diseases & #GutMicrobiota is published in @JHHypertension @SpringerNature! Congs authors @sepiso_masenga @benmalambo @LErtuglu @isjaima @Mohamma91591696 @VUMC_Medicine @VUMCClinPharm @VuBiome. 👇 rdcu.be/cL33l Thanks for invite @FZMarques

Looking forward to participating in the NIH Common Fund Symposium “At the Crossroads of the Microbiome, Metabolism & Glycoscience” together with a phenomenal speaker line-up. It’s TOMORROW! @VI4Research @VuBiome - Link for registration: mregs.nih.gov/nigms/3fv3-b3c…

Happy Friday #Nashville! The uptick we saw in #coronavirus cases last week is continuing, with average %positives now >8%. Overall cases are still low, but let's work together to prevent further increases. Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend☀️🌸 🌿

Had some extra plates & figured my micro class would enjoy swabbing the room/each other to visualize some of the microbiome. 1) lots of similarity between foreheads, 2)some differences in growth from cellphones, 3) different parts of the water fountain, 4) cool patch from a 🗑.

Good Morning #Nashville. While #coronavirus remains low, we see a slight uptick in cases, with our moving average %positives now at 5%. Something to keep an eye on 🧐 Stay safe and enjoy the weekend 🌸

Hello #Nashville, the good news is no news. The #coronavirus trends tell the same story of the last few weeks. Enjoy your spring!

It was hard for us to know when it would occur, but we always knew it would. The normalization of biotech and microbial symbiosis in classrooms is happening. The gels are prettier than the @WolbachiaProj stickers. And that's how it should be! Keep us posted @Wierzbowski_Bio.

@JaneFFerguson Congratulations and nice work on pairing the fecal and oral analyses!

We found that inter-correlations between bacterial taxa increased in obesity, suggesting altered community dynamics. Surprisingly, salivary microbiota provided a more distinct pattern of differentiation between obese & lean individuals than fecal microbiota.

New paper from @Andrei_Bombin's postdoc in the Ferguson Lab 🦠🧬 @JDMosley_Moses @PhysRep @VuBiome Obesity influences composition of salivary and fecal microbiota and impacts the interactions between bacterial taxa physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.14814/p…

Byndloss lab 2021 #HHMI Gilliam Fellow @ShealyNic and 2022 #NSF GRFP Fellow @tsosciencey doing their thing! The future of Science is BRIGHT and DIVERSE and I’m here for it. 🙌🏽#Humblebrag #ProudPI #DiversityandInclusion @VanderbiltU @VI4Research @VUMCMolecPath @VuBiome

Good evening #Nashville. It's important to note that while you enjoy the Spring lows for #coronavirus, a small number of #BA2 stealth omicron cases have been reported in the city. Stay informed and watch that % Positivity Chart (green). We do not want the 7-day MA to creep up.

Good day #Nashville followers: For the past 2 years, we analyzed and shared tracking data with you. Thanks for following along and staying informed. We're pleased to report that the #Coronavirus DOWN trend remains in the lowest ranges of these recent data charts.

% Positivity for #coronavirus in #Nashville: The city is crushing it day after day, with a new record low on the chart.

Weekly cases: Beautiful📉

Good afternoon #Nashville! Look 👁️👁️ at this chart. The city made a new record low this past week for the 7-day moving average of #coronavirus cases. It has been 244 days since the value was this low. Congrats! Note the #BA2 coronavirus variant may shift the trend in the future.
