Our latest work, now in @ScienceAdvances: In the first months of life, airway bacteria (not fungi) “grow up” with the immune system. Prior wheeze highlights a monocyte-linked signal in nasal and blood transcriptomes. @BenJMarsland@MonashSTM@BreathingTogeth
@FZMarques@microbiome_net@MicrobiomeVIF@phylogeo Differential abundance testing is key here to reveal differences between groups (individual taxa) even though no difference is observed overall (beta diversity). I’m fine with Q<0.1 if relevant for the study and it’s best to always plot normalised abundances to confirm 😊
Mourning the loss of @methylnick, a remarkable scientist, colleague, mentor, and above all, a kind-hearted and generous person whom many of us were fortunate enough to call a friend. Your absence will be deeply felt Nick. #notonlyabioinformatician 🤍✨

Think germinal centre B cells only receive IL-21 through antigen-specific selection by T follicular helper cells?
🚨 Paradigm shifting discoveries lead by @isaak_quast show IL-21 acts outside the immune synapse 🤯

I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to trigger a switch when they find a victim & come back for a tasty treat 🐀

What are the effects of calorie restriction, fasting, and time of feeding on lifespan extension? A new Science study in mice takes a closer look. https://t.co/htr8mr2dxu #ScienceResearch
