How do gut microbes shape what animals eat? @UtscBiology Associate Professor Zakee Sabree studies how microbes influence diet, digestion and survival across species. Read more about the research: bit.ly/4stG5dq #UTSC #UofT #GutMicrobiome #Microbiology #Science

This is a great way to get to know one of our newest faculty members — Prof. Zakee Sabree ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Did you know stickleback, which can be found in Ontario, are quite romantic? With OE3C getting closer and it being Valentine's day (although we were a day late...) we thought it would be fun to share a fittingly romantic ethology fact. #ethology #ontario #science

Although the throes of winter bring cold winds and snow, spring is just around the corner. That means OE3C is coming soon (April 30th-May 2nd). Reminder, the topic is "Coexisting with Nature", and the conference will be held in Mackenzie Chown Complex at Brock University.

Now that's dedication!

It was a snow day, but I had to be there to receive these beauties 🔥🔥:

In 1996, almost thirty years ago, Stephan Clemens & Wolfgang Barz described a methylenedioxy bridge formation reaction, converting calycosin to pseudobaptigenin. Today, we have identified the enzyme catalyst from red clover! 🍀 @UTSC @UtscBiology biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
