Is the gut microbiota composition in the 1st week of life linked to viral lower respiratory tract infections (vLRTIs) in early childhood? Here, work using the BBS birth cohort identifies Bifidobacterium longum-dominated cluster linked to lowest vLRTI rates 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

>80% microb species detected by metagenomics are undetected by metaproteomics; because existing workflows rely on incomplete reference DBs, underutilize spectral data and don't robustly incorporate FDR control. Here, a new workflow (uMetaP) seems to improve everything. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Lab undergrads Shayan Shah and Nicole Lesiczka did a fantastic job presenting their posters at the SURE poster session! Also BIG congrats to Nicole for being awarded the best new sophomore award! 🏆🎉 #ProudPI

I’m generally a cynic. Glass half empty kind of guy. But then I see something like this and think…there are good people out there. be positive and have hope. There is light in darkness. Early career scientists are being prioritized. Take a look! 🧪 www.spencer.org/grant_types/...

Belated but I had a blast at Rutgers Day last weekend. We showed slides of the gut and brain and talked how these two organs communicate! @rwjms.bsky.social

🧵 1/6 Just dropped in @naturecomms.bsky.social We’ve engineered the most photostable yellow fluorescent proteins (YFPs) to date—mGold2s and mGold2t—with up to 25× greater photostability than mVenus and mCitrine, without compromising brightness. 👇 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A big week of firsts for the lab! First big genotyping run of our mice and first immunofluorescence assay and imaging! 🍾🥳

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

New paper out! We looked into what our favorite beneficial microbe does to gut hormones. We found L. reuteri regulates many gut hormones like PYY and GIP but also vasopressin, which we didn't know was made in the gut. Check it out!

Apply! We updated two ancient microscopes with this funding (twice) that let us continue our calcium and other imaging experiments. Really great mechanism to update equipment; hard to get funding to do this otherwise. Happy to share our proposals.

Let's me be clear. This would end space science in the US. A 50% cut will scramble everything, and the chaos will result in a greater than 50% cut in science. If this happens, China will lap us in a couple of years. #planetsci #planetaryscience #astronomy www.planetary.org/press-releas...

Up until now, I haven't marked study sections not meeting unless listed on CSR. Now that I can't trust CSR, I will be marking based on personal communication (highlighted orange). If you were scheduled to be on a SS this March and know it's not meeting, reach out! I will keep my informants anonymous

My first R01 submission wasn't discussed but I am very, very thankful that the study section met AND the reviewers wrote very helpful comments on where the grant needs to improve. Thank you reviewers!!

Good reporting out about Pittsburgh and the potential effects of indirect cost cuts. www.publicsource.org/research-fun... 1/2

I gave the lab’s first lab meeting today. 🥺 #newPI

I learned a lot about analytical balances today. Didn't even know anti-static devices existed for them.
