Excited to share the 2nd preprint this week designing the diversity of a synthetic human gut microbiome led by the superstar Bryce Connors https://t.co/ny8utBo1tl
We asked @UWMadison's Ophelia Venturelli how to uncover mysteries of the human gut microbiome. Her answers reveal how scientists can design this complex village👇

Super cool: Labs developing bacterial communities to resist C. difficile infections as next-gen therapies
Super cool: Invasion theory developed by ecologists over decades
Me: I want to combine these! Out on biorxiv now: https://t.co/aKaDIi9NAH
Missy performed all her own stunts, carried lots of heavy cabling out of the woods at 5 am AND helped me put on my wig. We love @mannequinpussy.

@MicrobeManager Could it be an O2-transport problem? Low water volume would make it easier for O2 transfer from the air to keep up with biological oxygen consumption, thus higher O2 concentrations->higher ROS?
@wendyzuk I have a friend who is not on Twitter who is an engineer in pharma manufacturing that would be interested in talking to you. I can put you in touch via email if you DM me.
Today we announced that @pfizer made a $25M investment in Vedanta as part of the Pfizer Breakthrough Growth Initiative. We intend to use the proceeds to fund a Phase 2 study of VE202 in #IBD, which we plan to initiate in 2021. https://t.co/o6ttHtqLCu #microbiome
I'm pleased to share our pre-print from @juedwang's lab! ppGpp is a co-repressor for a transcription factor in Firmicutes to downregulate purine synthesis. Direct ppGpp regulation of transcription is not just for Proteobacteria anymore. https://t.co/fMZsd5uEUG
My mom mentors hundreds of students and always encouraged me to keep learning. @UmitOzkan_OSU taught me what research was and inspired me to pursue a PhD. @oventurelli2 has taught me SO much about building a lab/rigorous research. So grateful to them and countless others.
Presenting: cutimycin, a Cutibacterium acnes-produced antibiotic that affects niche competition among the human skin microbiota.
Feels great to see this in it's final form and thanks so much to all the people who helped out with this project!

Whew - this paper: "Our study...suggests that female protégés who remain in academia reap more benefits when mentored by males rather than equally-impactful females."
Seriously?
Not for me. A thread. (1/n)
