Morning coffee in the quiet stillness of a #Yanomami village was unforgettable. Those peaceful moments grounded me before each day of fieldwork. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of this journey, learning from and working with such a remarkable people.
Had an amazing time at the 4th meeting of the GHMRC. Big gaps in breastfeeding knowledge, esp for small vulnerable newborns, but we're tackling them. Grateful for brilliant minds leading this effort and for the generous support of the FLRF, making this important work possible!
Thank you to Luciana and #UFABC for the warm welcome! It was a pleasure to share my research at the @MOMI_CORE and discuss upcoming projects with @yanomamiaction with the amazing students and faculty. Your enthusiam is truly inspirational!
isolateR is out! 🔎🧬 Excited to share our new R package that simplifies generating #microbial libraries from Sanger #sequencing data! 🦠💻 Say goodbye to manually trimming poor quality regions/N’s & #BLAST limitations with our automated, scalable pipeline

Want to know how to recreate the conditions of the human distal gut at the bench (and grow your own microbiomes)? Check out this new protocol from @bdaisley , @EmmaAllenVercoe , @simone_renwick , @sarahjanev97 , @connor_g_hill for detailed instructions!

I was reading this new review about human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) utilization strategies by various gut bacteria (including bifidobacteria) and noticed some errors on which I want to comment, mainly because they persist in the literature (1/7)

San Diego is home to a first-of-its-kind scientific collective that's working to understand the relationship between breast milk and medication. @HMI_UCSanDiego https://t.co/V2V8vQuIi5
Excellent talk by fellow Canadian @ArrietaLab on the successful use of probiotics to support development of the preterm infant gut microbiota as well as potential for long-term improved health outcomes!
Hanging out with this excellent group of scientists today at #ISAPP2023 & talking about the changing landscape of science communication: What is an antiscientific viewpoint? Should scientists try to engage? Thanks @bdaisley & @daraghhill for the invite!
Posing with my graphical abstract at the end of an amazing first day at #ISAPP2023 Denver, CO. I'm amazed by how far the probiotics and prebiotics field has come!
Excited to have Sean Gibbons up next at #ISAPP2023 arguing for smaller cohorts, more data, & deeper insights in clinical trials.
There's no 'average' human being so his group tries to understand whether an intervention has uniform vs. more variable effects across a population.
