In this meta-meta-analysis, we compiled diseases-associated gut microbiome signature species to advance the understanding of the potential gateways whereby bacteria gain access to the gut. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/adva… APC Microbiome Ireland Microbiology UCC PNAS Nexus

Cheers to colleagues at Univ. of Hawaii for a new NSF award on "Leveraging the Mosquito #Holobiont to Suppress Disease and Advance Avian Conservation". 2024 will be the year that the community said we are fully in. Yes we can to those that said you can't. nsf.gov/awardsearch/sh…

Very excited to share our work published in Science! In collaboration with Paras Minhas, MD, PhD and the Andreasson Lab at Stanford, we uncovered that modulating glucose metabolism through IDO1 inhibitors can restore cognition across Alzheimer’s pathologies! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Welcome Bailey the Biologist to the next phase of symbiosis scholarship in the lab. Follow her to be impressed!

Streamers blast off and lights on: "The application of ecological, #holobiont, and #OneHealth frameworks can promote an inclusive understanding of the intricate multi-organismal dynamics across various scales" 👏

The overlooked biodiversity loss! In a team of bright minds (Naia Morueta-Holme, Caroline Winther-Have, JacobAgerbo 🐟 🦠 & Tom Gilbert), we talk about the importance and consequences of also considering the invisible components of what we are losing.

Can someone tell Tim Walz that I know where the best whoopie pies in PA are? I love this guy.

The Faculty search for an Ecologist at Penn State is about to begin reviewing applicants!  The application acceptance period is complete, the search itself has not been closed.

Excellent work by Daisuke Kageyama & Co, as usual. The experiments show two insect taxa (Diptera vs Lepidoptera) are differentially sensitive to two independently-evolved male killing genes (wmk and Oscar) that both ultimately target the dosage compensation pathway to kill males.
