If you missed the 2025 @isbscience.org Virtual Microbiome Symposium (theme: how microbial metabolites influence the brain, the immune system, & metabolism), the videos of the talks and the panel discussion are now available here: youtube.com/playlist?lis... Thanks to all who helped make it happen!

@isbscience.org postdoc @n8ritz.bsky.social (Venkatesh Lab) was selected as a 2026 WRF Postdoc Fellow. The fellowship supports early-career researchers pursuing high-impact science. Congrats Nate! 🎉 @flash-point.bsky.social More: tinyurl.com/y772pr2j Venkatesh Lab: venkatesh.isbscience.org

Please join us on Dec 12th for the 2025 @isbscience.org Virtual Microbiome Symposium, focused on "Gut Microbial Metabolites and Their Impact on Host Systems". Co-organized by @gibbological.bsky.social Registration is free & we have a fantastic line-up of experts! isbscience.org/events/2025-...

Intriguing paper linking bacterial strains (L. reuteri) and corticosterone release in a circadian rhythm-dependent manner from @jfcryan.bsky.social and colleagues. Kudos for the Zeitgeber time experiments! On to L. reuteri-encoded molecules that mediate these effects... www.cell.com/cell-metabol...
