Thanks to @AuraRaulo for a really fabulous start to our AMRG workshops yesterday! We got a grand tour of dyadic modelling applied to microbiome data and plenty of code to play with! 🐭 💻

The Black Microbiologists Association @BlackInMicro was formed in response to underrepresentation of #Black researchers in #Microbiology. Check out the work this group is doing to promote #Equity for Black researchers: https://t.co/azW40nHIGj #BlackHistoryMonth

[Animal Microbiome Research Group @AnimMicrobioRes]

🗣️ #BlackHistoryMonth starts tomorrow, which serves a reminder that our work as #Scientists intersects with history, social (in)equity, discrimination & progress. Learn more about #MicrobesAndSocialEquity by visiting https://t.co/q0sRGqTuOy

Check out this cool #NewPaper led by Animal Microbiome Research Group member @TatianaMurill16 and co-authors. They investigate the relationship between dietary shifts. social interactions, and the #GutMicrobiome in red-fronted lemurs. #ECR

Excited to share our new preprint evaluating the impact of ionizing #radiation on the environmental #microbiomes of Chernobyl wetlands. ☢️🦠
Radiation had impacts on beta diversity (not alpha)!

Very fun collaboration with @pabloburraco and @GOrizaola! https://t.co/haZhROqlzv

[ESEB @eseb_org]

It has been excellent seeing the flurry of tweets from organisers announcing their #eseb2022 symposia! 🤩

Have a look at the programme and start thinking about your abstract 🤔

[Lauren Brent @ljnbrent]

New for 2022: I’m now an Editor at Animal Behaviour. Excited to get to read loads of social behaviour submissions. ECRs hoping to get some experience reviewing – ping me with your area of expertise and I'll do my best to send a paper your way.

[Sophie Teullet @sophieteullet]

Pretty cool metagenomic run of pangolin's feces on the @nanopore GridION! 💩🦠 Quite degraded sample but a (not expected) N50 of 2.5 kb! And more than 1 Gb in 2 hours! Great start! 🧬✅
