Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

The introduction of a genetically modified yeast strain into honeybee diets could help sustain brood production during periods of pollen scarcity, according to a study published in Nature. go.nature.com/3UKdAtc 🧪

I'm beyond excited to share that our last work is now published in Nature Communications. The South American MicroBiome Archive (saMBA): enriching the microbiome field by studying neglected populations 📄: shorturl.at/wq9pr

A little friendly competition never hurts - join our Quiz Night! @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social

Proud to share my new review from my MSCA-INSPIRE @inspiremsca.bsky.social "Host-microbiome relationship in depression: can human induced pluripotent stem cells play a role in unravelling mechanisms?" www.nature.com/articles/s41... @jfcryan.bsky.social @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social @ucc.ie

Cheers to an amazing Cheers with the Peers! 🥂 Great turnout! So good to catch up, laugh, and enjoy a great evening together. @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social
