Great to see this out in final form: nature.com/articles/s4146…. Congrats to @eozcan_MinDgut and colleagues. Exciting follow-up work is sure to come from Prof. Özcan's new lab at @LSU!

Goin back to Cali. Find me at @UCLA @MicrobioUcla @cnsiatucla. I’m recruiting at all levels. You can learn more at our lab website: donaldsonlab.com We have an advertisement up for a technician (SRA) position: jobs.ucla.edu/jobs/5998 mimg.ucla.edu/announcement/g…

@aaronwhiteley Yay! Congrats Aaron!

Thank you to the Burroughs Welcome Fund PATH Award for supporting our research! I am thrilled to join this fantastic group of fellow investigators. This grant would not have been possible without the dedicated group of scientists in my lab, so a big THANK YOU goes to all of them

Please share! Here's our latest preprint on the university-wide mentorship program @bummp_ucsd, highlighting its profound impact on biology students from all backgrounds. In 4 years, this pioneering initiative has served over 1,350 mentees!!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ever wonder how gut microbial food preferences influence host food preferences? Us too! Delighted to share work by Kristie Yu, @CelineSon11 & co on how gut bacterial metabolism of specific fibers influences host preference for diets containing those fibers biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The maternal gut microbiome during pregnancy can have diverse roles in fetal development. Yet, how the maternal microbiome impacts placental development and function is a mystery. Until now. Congratulations @geoffpronovost @pipethero @drake_dds and authors!

@tararaam_ Congratulations Tara! Wishing you the happiest life together!

when two nerds get married 🤓💕

Congratulations Jon and colleagues! Excited to see the results of TMNT! Jon is an amazing mentor and just a fantastic human, so if you're looking to join a lab at Johns Hopkins or for a junior faculty to give an excellent microbiology talk, he's your guy!

Still at #ASMicrobe? Join us tomorrow for a great gut-brain axis panel!! @helenvuongphd @jamietmorton @ASMicrobiology

@zachlee_2008 @pewtrusts Thanks Kai! I hope you, Ping and Serena are doing well!

@helenvuongphd @pewtrusts Congrats Helen, well deserved!!
