First tweet goes out to my undergrads, it’s a joy to mentor these amazing @NorthwesternU microbiome scientists/phenomenal young women

Melissa Manus and Chris Kuzawa have written a new chapter on the social and environmental drivers of overweight and cardiovascular diseases.

The article was published in Wiley's Companion to Biological Anthropology.

Came for the science, stayed for the views. Thanks @HumBioAssoc for having me! #HBA2023

Infant gut microbiomes (GM) are linked to physical health and immune system development. Household size appears to predict GM diversity at different ages, while household composition and interaction impact on GM diversity remains unclear.

Next: @Manus_MB Skin microbes are shared socially between individuals, e.g., human infants and carers, both parents and others (alloparents). #, type of alloparents and type of care correlates w/ microbiome diversity at different infant body sites #BeneficialMicrobesMtg

I’ll raise you one: BY THE TIME YOU DETECT ONE VARIANT ANOTHER IS ALREADY CIRCULATING UNDER THE RADAR SOMEWHERE SO WITH A MIX OF SURVEILLANCE LAGS, LOW VACCINE UPTAKE, INEQUITABLE VACCINE ACCESS WE ARE WILL BE CHASING VARIANTS ENDLESSLY.

💡BEST. VIDEO. ALL. YEAR. Please share with friends how the mRNA vaccine works to fight the coronavirus.

📌NOTA BENE—The mRNA never interacts with your DNA 🧬. #vaccinate

Great opportunity to spend a week at Northwestern connecting with people interested in research at the interface of the social and biological sciences
