Please read about how we think microbial metabolism might help us understand microbiomes a bit better!

Also, please appreciate the mountain goat in Fig 1 ⛰️🐐 and that it also represents my joy for trail running and the mountains 😁

It took an extension to the extension of the extension, but after more than 3 years of negotiations, governments around the globe—but notably, not the United States—have finally agreed on a treaty to improve how the world prevents, prepares for, and responds to future pandemics. scim.ag/4lDYcLe

Thrilled to share my postdoctoral work with @microbiome.bsky.social on BioRxiv. Ever wonder why you got a fever after your booster shot, but your friend didn’t? We find that both diet and the gut microbiome are associated with risk of fever after vaccination (1/4).

Flagellin in the human gut microbiome is a diet-adjustable adjuvant for vaccination
The intestinal microbiota is thought to modulate immune responsiveness to vaccines. Human studies on this topic, however, have yielded inconsistent results[1][1],[2][2]. We hypothesized that the micro...
