Our new graduate student stipends guidelines, effective immediately. Great news (and much needed) for students - not so much for my Discovery Grant which cannot even support a single MSc student anymore 🫤

@Micky_Ahn presenting his PhD work on nemabiome variation in @SI_Horses. What can we learn from nemabiome analyses of 2500 samples collected from 800 🐎 over many years? Apparently lots!
