Excited to share our work on the metabolic ecology of the urobiome of postmenopausal women associated w/ recurrent UTI using quantitative metabolomics. We find a unique UPEC-urine metabolite interaction network, UTI diagnostic lipids, and DCA as rUTI prognostic marker. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A big thank you to the POs and staff at the NIH for working tirelessly to process awards. I am so happy to receive the NoA for a project that we have spent years building and I couldn’t be more grateful. Excited to learn more about how menopause therapies impact the urogenital heath! Thank you NIA!!

Really excited about this opportunity! I will be sharing part of my postdoc work at Rohn lab @jennyrohn.bsky.social and a new hairstyle 💇♂️😂
THIS WEEK
Are you interested in learning more about the urobiome?
Join the CAIRIBU U-RIG research hour, which aims to facilitate knowledge exchange and spur collaborations in the urobiome field.
This session will feature a talk from Ramon Garcia Maset.

Despite media representations to the contrary, "women remain underrepresented among faculty in nearly all academic fields...A large-scale survey of the same faculty indicates that the reasons faculty leave are gendered, even for institutions, fields, and career ages in which retention rates are not"
Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.
Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty
Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.
