I was super happy to get a chance to write an article for @ConversationUK, about a new paper looking at the links between Alzheimer’s and the gut-brain axis 🦠🧠

[The Conversation @ConversationUK]

"...the research points to the possibility that there are specific bacteria within the gut microbiome that could increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s." https://t.co/GPZRT6ZReZ
