Our second #UTIhour speaker is Ben Olson, a trainee in the lab of @scotthultgren.bsky.social 🇺🇸

His talk is "Microbiota influences gut-bladder axis to alter susceptibility to UTI." He sent us a sneak peek with this beautiful, infected bladder!

Watch him 2/17 4pm New York Time.

What better way to get to the #GutBladderAxis, than through our food?
