For any hoping to submit workshop proposals for ABACBS25/BiocAsia, EOIs close today. We understand how busy everyone is, so if your EOI is a day or so late, it'll still be considered. We've already had some fantastic proposals too, so it looks like being a really beneficial couple of days.

Delighted our study (7+ years in the making) is out today in Nature. In a nutshell, 48 hours of antibiotics in week 1 led to impaired vaccine responses up to 15 months later in infants. We show (in-vivo) a probiotic can fix it #microbiome #science #immunology
