Self promotion time! Recently, we found that maternal BMI status does not impact HMO composition, however maternal HMOs were correlated with specific infant bacterial taxa and genes, reinforcing the influence of HMOs on the infant gut microbiome. www.mdpi.com/3139886

The newest members of the Caro Lab have arrived at the @adelphibiodept.bsky.social!

These 30 Dominique chicks are going to help us understand how chickens make choices -- generating new insights into avian cognition and metacognition... plus they're adorable!
