Amazing view to work on a presentation. Looking forward visiting Universidade Federal de Goiás tomorrow. With a big thank you to João Felipe Mota for hosting us.

It's not been a secret as such, but I'm delighted to (officially) share that I've joined APC Microbiome Ireland UCC Ireland earlier this year! APC & Cork are a microbiome research 'powerhouse' & it's a great privilege to now work among teams whose work I've admired for a long time 1/

If you're looking to do a PhD or postdoc in a great environment (with.. uh... *moderate* weather), feel free to reach out: ucc.ie/en/apc/people/… Topics include everything microbiome & microbial ecology (not only gut!), computational biology with beautiful huge datasets, etc.

APC welcomes Lisa Y Stein to UCC Ireland today for an important seminar on Microbial Solutions to Mitigate Climate Change. University of Alberta UCC Research #Sustainability #climatechange

It was a privilege to host Lisa Stein from University of Alberta at APC Microbiome Ireland and UCC Ireland. Amazing lecture on role of microbes in climate change, a topic that concerns us all. Great scientist and a real role model on how to use knowledge in microbiology to turn things around for humanity.

Fantastic output from MASTER IA H2020 now published in Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Interesting paper on the metabolic effects of dietary fibre: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… I would however be cautious with conclusions that effects are "via Alterations in the Gut Microbiota" as these are just correlations. We learned this the hard way: microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Publications from Christopher Stewart with important conclusions. Bacterial communities in breast milk are “skin commensal/pathobionts like Staphylococcus” that "do not colonise the infant gut". This suggests they are skin contaminants and should not be considered a 'milk microbiome'!

We are doing our final recruitment push for the Synbiotic Restore study at APC Microbiome Ireland and UCC Ireland. Please consider participating! Thank you!!!!
