Happy to share this paper in final form rdcu.be/eH8tj, with more info on neuronal responses and potential mechanism of actions! The results suggest that there is neural interoception of microbial metabolic state 🧠🦠 We hope they can inspire more work in this area!

If you're a UCLA researcher (PI, grad student, etc) with an NSF, NIH or other suddenly suspended grant, please email or DM me. I'm trying to confirm what the suspension letters say and how extensive the NIH suspensions are. Email: Mikhail at calmatters dot org

Breaking: NSF is suspending roughly 300 grants with UCLA, following a DOJ finding on Tuesday that the university violated Title VI by "creating a hostile educational environment for Jewish and Israeli students."

I am seeking a postdoc for my group at UCLA. We work at the intersection of population genetics x microbiome (garud.eeb.ucla.edu). If interested, please message me!

The Xue lab at UC Irvine is looking for a staff scientist to support our work investigating how microbes interact and evolve in the gut microbiome! Open to a wide range of previous experience levels, see ad for more. recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09601

Check it out, a great opportunity for people looking to start their own lab in Japan 👇 www.ccii.med.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/careers-e...

”replication crisis” has always been hyperbole. Scientists ALWAYS argued, called each other frauds, and eventually land on consensus. A lot of what van Leeuwenhoek observed in the late 1600s was NOT REPRODUCIBLE because nobody could make lenses like him. But he was right, about cells, and bacteria.

Goin back to Cali. Find me at UCLA. I’m recruiting at all levels. You can learn more at our lab website: www.donaldsonlab.com We have an advertisement up for a technician (SRA) position: jobs.ucla.edu/jobs/5998

Hi friends new and old! I study how microbes interact and evolve in complex communities like the human gut microbiome.🦠🧬💩 I'm thrilled to share that I'm starting a lab at UC Irvine in April 2025 and am recruiting at all levels - please spread the word! kxuelab.com More about my work below...🧵1/n

Still thinking about gut biogeography.
