Hi there folks- turns out Aussie universities are looking for new people! Are you based in the US, tenured (is that what you call a continuing position?) and feel like the lure of the southern hemisphere is calling you? Happy to take questions :)

Send us your papers celebrating yeasts!

We are excited to announce that registration for our annual HCMPH Symposium is online. The symposium is on May 19th at HSPH. The theme this year is the microbiome's role in food systems but please join us for any and all microbiome discussion and research updates. hsph.harvard.edu/research/mic...

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

Thinking about peer review: I reviewed 20 papers this year, and sent out 9 for review. What about you?

bsky hibernation is over. I cannot take the 'stuff' on the bird anymore. 👋

Very pleased to see our collaborative paper out there in the world! Can plant-based fermented foods help with MetS and T2D? The answers are here.... doi.org/10.1017/S095...

There are limitations but this is a neat tool to play around with www.nature.com/articles/s41... Search for a microbiome species/genus and it'll return studies in which that taxon was differentially abundant bugsigdb.org (I wish we had something like this for mechanistic microbiome studies)

Announcing publication of our new paper; a grand collaboration with colleagues in France and published in community journal PCI Microbiology. Read all about it here: peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10.... @microbialus.bsky.social @academic-chatter.bsky.social

Loving the new socials! I feel fresh and new again.

Well hello! @academic-chatter.bsky.social just joined from the bird app. Nice to be here…anyone interested in microbiology?
