Dear microbiology twitter, what are tricks, assumptions and inside knowledge microbiologists have when culturing bacteria that aren't obvious to non-microbiologists? E.g. motion of air being a source of contamination, not touching the rim of threaded tubes etc.

CIHR funding rate: 13.6%. Early 2000s: 30%+. Canada’s new $1.7B Impact+ program recruits talent — but without increased Tri-Council base funding, we risk further strain on an already stretched system. We’re calling for $1B over 5 years. Support here: tinyurl.com/33c5av46

Sculptor: the missing UI for Claude Code 🎨 Imagine running 5 Claudes in parallel, safely in containers, while you stay in flow. Then bring their work straight into your IDE to test/edit together. This is how one developer ships like a team. Try it with Sonnet 4.5!

CIFAR’s Diet Module, developed by @CTropini, equips educators to think more holistically about how our dietary choices shape the microbiome and influence health outcomes. Learn about this initiative, part of the new Humans & the Microbiome curriculum: cifar.tfaforms.net/4706257

Last week, MBIM undergraduate students participated in UBC’s first Life Sciences Undergraduate 3-Minute Thesis competition. MBIM student Brian Deng from the Tropini lab (left) was awarded first place for a succinct and compelling narrative on his research. Congratulations to all!

Excited to share our preprint led by Dr. Hunter! We show that osmotic shifts, common in the gut due to diet & laxatives, alter T4 phage-E. coli evolution. High osmolality promotes fitness but selects for mucoid, weakly phage-resistant E. coli, with implications for phage therapy!

One of the most fascinating papers I've read as of late: the breakdown of number, mass and location of immune cells in your body! pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

Excited for our new work to be officially published doi.org/10.1016/j.bbi.…! This study in collaboration with @CTropini 's group reveals that early-life gut inflammation leads to sex-dependent changes in the microbiome-endocrine-brain axis.

Very excited to share a new paper in collaboration with @AVogelCiernia! We show that early-life inflammation alters sex hormones and mating behavior in mice, alongside shifts in hormone-modifying microbiota members! Great work by Olivia, Claire and others! doi.org/10.1016/j.bbi.…
