@TamsynVR @georgiacaruana @ElyshaRingin @MNC_Psychiatry Amazing posters, ladies! I can imagine the scientific discussions were just as stellar ✨✨

[Illumina @illumina]

This morning at the Illumina Genomics Forum, we unveiled our fastest, most cost-efficient sequencing machine yet – the NovaSeq X series. This technology will slash the cost to $200 per human genome and provide a readout at twice the speed. @WIRED feature: https://t.co/AeIizKAzio

@stinabiologista Congratulations Stina!! I am so happy for you. Where in the US will you be? Let's cross paths.

I'm thrilled to share our lab's first (hopefully of many) studies on the role of the microbiome in cancer therapy, out now @NatureMicrobiol https://t.co/jxDX5NiQRu

[Carra Simpson Ph.D @carrasimpson]

Pleasure to be involved in this study: "Modification of post-traumatic epilepsy by fecal microbiota transfer".

We observed that microbiome transfer modified seizure susceptibility in recipients🧠

@fquerdasi perhaps you also say, range of reimbursement will be between $ and $, depending on which questions you are eligible to complete? We definitely have one amount tailored to max allotted time if it's the same questionnaire, but some will take longer due to sx endorsement.

[Carra Simpson Ph.D @carrasimpson]

@fquerdasi We've had a single reimbursement, regardless of the ultimate length (to avoid incentivisation). Our discrepancy between length was never very large. Could you consider splitting into two different questionnaire stages? (i.e. eligibility after one triggers next, and has own $)

[Carra Simpson Ph.D @carrasimpson]

@madeleinelco You're doing so well!! 👏You'd be surprised how much of the discussion you've already written in your head (reiterating aims/hypotheses, current state of the literature, limitations, future directions etc etc)

[Carra Simpson Ph.D @carrasimpson]

@LeviWaldron1 It was a wonderful talk! I have a newfound interest in the seaweed microbiome 🪸🌊 Pity we can't research everything.
