First tweet goes out to my undergrads, it’s a joy to mentor these amazing @NorthwesternU microbiome scientists/phenomenal young women

Melissa Manus and Chris Kuzawa have written a new chapter on the social and environmental drivers of overweight and cardiovascular diseases. The article was published in Wiley's Companion to Biological Anthropology. Link below: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.10… @Manus_MB

Came for the science, stayed for the views. Thanks @HumBioAssoc for having me! #HBA2023

Infant gut microbiomes (GM) are linked to physical health and immune system development. Household size appears to predict GM diversity at different ages, while household composition and interaction impact on GM diversity remains unclear. #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.2…

@AmJBioAnth Appreciate the post! This was a multi-year collab with friends and colleagues at @E2HD_NU and @uscphilippines

TriCEM is hiring! Passionate about evolutionary medicine, science communication, and interdisciplinary research? You could be a great fit for the role of Assistant Director of TriCEM. Learn more and apply: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22878 @ISEMPH @cebam @evmedasu @evmed_ch

@IndiaASC @ASUBeingHuman @evmedasu Yessss! Exciting and impressive, as always!

Next: @Manus_MB Skin microbes are shared socially between individuals, e.g., human infants and carers, both parents and others (alloparents). #, type of alloparents and type of care correlates w/ microbiome diversity at different infant body sites #BeneficialMicrobesMtg

We are kicking off day 2 with Podium A: New Directions in Human Biology. Starting at 8:30 a.m. MT (online & Governors Square 14)! #HBA2022

@Manus_MB et al. provide new methods for conducting skin microbiome research in field settings in their new article "Comparing different sample collection and storage methods for field-based skin microbiome research" 1/2

I’ll raise you one: BY THE TIME YOU DETECT ONE VARIANT ANOTHER IS ALREADY CIRCULATING UNDER THE RADAR SOMEWHERE SO WITH A MIX OF SURVEILLANCE LAGS, LOW VACCINE UPTAKE, INEQUITABLE VACCINE ACCESS WE ARE WILL BE CHASING VARIANTS ENDLESSLY. (my first all caps tweet)

💡BEST. VIDEO. ALL. YEAR. Please share with friends how the mRNA vaccine works to fight the coronavirus. 📌NOTA BENE—The mRNA never interacts with your DNA 🧬. #vaccinate (Special thanks to the Vaccine Makers Project @vaccinemakers of @ChildrensPhila). #COVID19

Great opportunity to spend a week at Northwestern connecting with people interested in research at the interface of the social and biological sciences russellsage.org/summer-institu…
