.@TilvesC is on a roll! This time he is giving a talk on the association of #microbiota composition & diversity w/ trunk fat in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study Of Aging (#BLSA). #EPILifestyle22 @JHUWelchCenter

Moira @differding_ found that higher gut #microbiota diversity and abundance of butyrogenic bacteria are associated with pulse wave velocity in the #Baltimore Longitudinal of Aging (#BLSA) study. #EPILifestyle22 @JHUWelchCenter @JohnsHopkinsEPI

Human Milk Bacteria: Seeding Infant Gut? @differding_ @noeltmueller discuss @MeghanAzad study that sequenced #breastmilk & infant stool samples from mother-infant dyads to investigate co-occurrence of milk-gut #bacteria &impact of #breastfeeding practices cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Yo #AcademicChat and #EpiTwitter, thinking about racism/capitalism and it's so unfortunate that some in positions of power are still surprised it occurs in #academia. It's even more sad that instead of accountable changes, we still fall back on passive efforts #BlackInIvory 1/n

Also from @JohnsHopkinsEPI & @JHUWelchCenter is @differding_ who examined the associations between #hypertension & the gut #microbiota & serum #SCFA in 111 cancer survivors ‼️Higher acetate & SCFA-producing bacteria were associated w/ lower BP #EPILifestyle20 @JAHA_AHA

.@MingyuZhang_ from @JohnsHopkinsEPI presenting his poster: High VitD during pregnancy mitigates the association between maternal pre-eclampsia and children’s blood pressure @AHAMeetings #EPILifestyle20

New publication! We found that prenatal #antibiotic exposure, particularly in the 2nd trimester, affects #infant gut #microbiome composition & #adiposity measures (weight & skinfold thicknesses). @noeltmueller @differding_ @JohnsHopkinsEPI @JHUWelchCenter ann-clinmicrob.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

corncob 🌽🌽 preprint now available on arXiv! Fantastic work by @BryanDMartin_ and @daniela_witten -- an R package for analysing relative abundance of 16S/amplicon data #microbiome #rstats #opensource arxiv.org/abs/1902.02776 🌽🌽

Early life exposures might influence later immune-mediated diseases. A new longitudinal study shows that preterm & term children differ at birth but converge onto a shared trajectory, which is hampered by early gut bacterial dysbiosis via @CellPressNews ow.ly/cafl30lz96a

"Rarefaction based AI algorithm for otu inference and improved richness estimation using the chaochao index" : now available in the CrapPy package. Make "science" great again. #stamps2018 #sciencefiction #MachineLearning #ScienceHumor

"rarefaction based machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms" in the CRapPy software for microbial population analysis by @NOFOKitchen, @differding_ , and @tkkanno
