Scientists and their good ideas: superficially, it always looks like the idea just sprouted out of their mind, when quite the opposite is true. Good ideas are brewed slowly, in the dark, long before anyone can see them.

There is a postdoctoral position available in our group: jobs.univie.ac.at/job/Universi... Please repost.

Doing science requires us to speak 2 different languages: (1) Day science language is a highly precise language for designing & executing experiments; while (2) Night science language uses analogies & anthropomorphizes to give us intuitions about the unknowns we explore. (Night Science recap, Day 4)

VIBRANT: Phase 1 trial of multi-strain L. crispatus for BV Women w/bacterial vaginosis receiving multi-strain vaginal L. crispatus live biotherapeutic 3–7 days post antibiotics showed vaginal colonization up to 12 wks, reducing risk of recurrent BV www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Finally out! 🥂 link.springer.com/article/10.1... We used 3 different methods to profile fecal DNA and analysed how gut microbiome composition and human cell fractions define disease severity in IBD pediatric patients. Many thanks to my supervisor Moran Yassour and our collaborators 🧵⬇️

TLDR: you can try using PMIDs instead of Journal names on your slides --> a small step towards shifting the scientific culture from one that values status to one that values substance.

This episode of The Leap left me in awe and tears. Highly recommend! open.spotify.com/episode/3KG0...

Next week, few days with a pack of 300 scientists, roaming around Prague, excited for genuine scientific exchange. I love it!! #theconferencetoendallconferences

Why do we need to wait for conferences, or even worse peer review, to exchange ideas? Sharing and posting feel like talking at the wall, nobody needs to listen really. Scientific discourse should not have geographical limits. Why don't we have a global system for this? #RePost 🙏🏼

Who does that? We rented a train JUST for the conference, that will take the participants from Prague to the woods of Bohemia. There'll be talks ON THE TRAIN. In Prague we'll have 5 locations with different atmospheres. #theconferencetoendallconferences Register now: woodstock.img.cas.cz
