RT appreciated! What if standard lab mice miss the real microbial game? Honored to be featured on the May cover @TrendsMicrobiol: “The microbial companion.” Our paper “Game of Microbes: A Wildling’s Guide” is out now: https://t.co/Os6Mesg9Z4 Thread below with more @CellPressNews

Please retweet! Ever wondered how to establish and maintain wildlings – and why they matter? Our new paper “Game of microbes: a wildling ’s guide” is now out in Trends in Microbiology https://t.co/Os6Mesg9Z4 - Thread below with key previous work @TrendsMicrobiol @CellPressNews

We have been putting the feeders out on our Low Light grid in preparation for the diet enrichment; traps have gone back out ready for tomorrow’s baseline session; and loggers are in position to track mouse movement @LydiaBeckerIII @FletcherRowanne @RowanBancroft @amybpedersen

Tasks of the day set out at our breakfast “scrum”

The seal nurseries on the Isle of May are busy but not as busy as they should be. The blog has the story; https://t.co/VnWtRiQI6m

At first capture we take faeces from the mice so we can estimate worm burden and assess the microbiome. We also look for faecal cytokines as biomarkers of gut health. @ProfJudiAllen and my PhD student Beth here collecting the samples. @LydiaBeckerIII

First trapping day of the Winter season is always a bit nerve wracking as we get our first hint at how well the mice are doing. But it’s looking really good with 50 traps triggered on our first night on Low Light @LydiaBeckerIII @RowanBancroft @FletcherRowanne

Our @BBSRC funded ecoimmunology grant moves into its Winter season tomorrow as we head back up to the wonderful Isle of May for 6 weeks fieldwork. (Some of) the 6 week food shop below…@LydiaBeckerIII @RowanBancroft @FletcherRowanne @Josh_R_Richards @Mair_Iris @amybpedersen

Last week everyone in the Bain lab and wider @EdinUni_IRR said a sad goodbye to @wouter_tj. He has been a phenomenal postdoc, colleague and friend over the last 4yrs. Good luck back in 🇧🇪 with @KC_DC_01. You’re welcome back to visit any time.

@DoctorEmmerson Yes See you soon. Trains playing up - Edinburgh train cancelled so now on a train to Preston which they have reduced from their normal 6 coaches to 3 coaches and is now also carrying all the Edinburgh bound folks!

[Kathryn Else @kathelse]

Heading up from @LydiaBeckerIII to the Edinburgh Immunology Group’s mini symposium to give a talk about whipworms and EcoImmunology. Also speaking are Franze Progatzky and Elaine Emmerson. Looking forward to the discussions and catching up with colleagues
