Our new preprint demonstrates a significant and important role of the gut #microbiome in highly flexible #hibernation metabolism. And unlike most processes during hibernation, this one increases. @EdnaChiang @SadieGugel @madmicrobiome @13liner@suenlab https://t.co/lzk0PVtuij
Gut microbes help their hibernator hosts throughout the year, with or without food!
Urea nitrogen recycling via gut symbionts increases in hibernators over the winter fast https://t.co/nUbmmv7kFw
What happens to the gut during hibernation? Where do squirrels get those tiny toques? What therapies can be derived from understanding hibernation? Answers to most of these questions can be found in the @CompBiochPhys paper by Kurtz, Otis, Regan (@MattDRegan), & Carey. Link below
#MDTP Student Highlight: Edna Chiang
@EdnaChiang studies the relationship between hibernating squirrels and their gut microbiome to help inform future research about biomedical issues related to diet and nutrition – like hibernating astronauts!

I'm giving a virtual talk next week during @WiSciFest!
Learn why hibernating mammals and their gut microbes are so cool on Thu, Oct 15 at 1pm (CST)!

We had a great meeting with @repmarkpocan staffer Leslie Zelenko about the importance of robust, sustainable, and predictable science funding!
Thank you Rep Pocan for co-sponsoring the RISE Act and for your long-standing support of science!

Thank you @SenatorBaldwin for your long-standing support of robust, sustainable, & predictable funding for science!
@jbratburd & I had a great meeting w/ Brian Kaplun about the importance of research funding, especially during COVID-19.

Thanks for hosting me @lynnjrothschild et al. at @NASAAmes (and many other places!). Wonderful discussion. Amazing how many angles & perspectives one can approach the same biological system from. Hooray for complex systems!
Absolutely buzzin’ to be speaking at this event today, hosted by Baylor’s Translational Research Institute for Space Health. Up up & away!

We congratulate Louis B. Justement, FASEB President, and other new elected officers: Patricia Morris, Kevin Kregel, and Mary-Ann Bjornsti. Their terms begin today! Learn more: https://t.co/puqRvE7ATX @UABNews@LJustement@dr_pmorris#FASEBmembers
FASEB mourns the sickeningly long list of Black people killed as a result of racism in the U.S. It is time for collective reflection and soul searching. Silence is not an option. Read our statement: https://t.co/hA62GE8cTr
I wrote a message to the Badger family, from my heart to yours. Because my soul hurts right now. My soul is heavy.
When will we get it?
