Two collaborative papers with @KarlDeisseroth, 21 years apart, (with daily collaboration in life during the intervening period.) I will provide a full explainer thread on this study shortly, but have to first say how fun it is to do science with this brilliant guy☺️

Ever wondered how gut microbes control immune responses at extra-intestinal locations?
Here, #theonlylabever reports how a gut protozoan commensal microbe remotely shapes pulmonary immunity to exacerbate asthma and limit the dissemination of mycobacteria.
