There's a new IMPACTT review out
in Mucosal Immunology on immunometabolism and microbial metabolites at the gut barrier. Congrats to our Platform 3 Lead Dr. Karen Madsen! Read the full article here: mucosalimmunology.org/article/

Our mentorship program for postdocs and early career microbiome researchers is accepting applications until 31 Jan 2023! If you're curious and want to learn more, head to our website: impactt-microbiome.ca/mentorsh

Wishing everyone a very happy holiday season from all of us at IMPACTT!

I've noticed that many of the ORCID links you folk have added to your profiles here don't work. They send you to the log-in page rather than to your ORCID profile. Those broken links contain a my-orcid? after orcid.org/, in case you want to check them.
You can edit the links easily by just leaving your ORCID number after orcid.org/

New to the migration, so just wanted to take a second for an #introduction on here:

I am an Assistant Professor in the Alkek Center for Metagenomics and Microbiome Research at Baylor College of Medicine. Our group is developing #Celegans as a #microbiome system for figuring out just how host and microbes influence each other.

You can learn more about some of our recent discoveries here:

Would be happy to connect!

Musk’s anti-Fauci tweet is my breaking point; leaving the other app behind so might as well do an #introduction!

I’m an Associate Professor of #Immunology at the #UniversityofWashington in Seattle. My lab studies programmed cell death in the context of cancer, infection and autoimmunity. Check out OberstLab.org for more info.

Outside the lab, I spend as much time as I can outdoors: Biking, rock climbing, hiking and #birding with my wife and our Irish Water Spaniel Rufus. What a good boy!

The harassment of public health officials and simultaneous mocking of transgender individuals from Mu$k was it for me. I will no longer be using Twitter. So figured I'd do a proper #introduction here!

I'm a PhD candidate at the #UniversityofWashington Seattle's MCB program. I study host-microbe interactions in the intestines in Ollie Harrison's lab who is at the Benaroya Research Institute.

I enjoy all manner of outdoor pursuits outside the lab and love to create by baking and crafting.

for a #FirstToot, I'd like to present the work of @MaxRaas , now on BioRXiv biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

We aimed at assessing the patterns of adaptive substitutions in proteins in S. cerevisiae.

Previous studies reported a rate of zero in S. paradoxus, or failed to find evidence for adaptive evolution in S. cerevisiae.

Here we reanalysed the 1011 yeast genomes to fit models of distributions of fitness effects in several populations / genes / site categories.

Here is what we find:

#Introduction — I am an Associate Professor at #ucberkeley trained in #EvolutionaryBiology, now mainly in #MicrobialEcology. Work in my group focuses on how interactions between #plants, #microbiomes, and #phages shapes natural #diversity and could be used to shape #sustainableagriculture. I really loved #twitter and am sad it was brought down by a megalomaniac with far too much money and ego. So here I am.

#Introduction — I am a group leader in #microbiology #genomics #genetics at #Inserm . My lab studies how #bacteria defend themselves against their #viruses , #phages. We try to understand the #ecology and #evolution of anti-phage systems, their molecular mechanisms and their conservation with eukaryotic immune systems!
We also do some #citizenscience to find #drugs in the soil #sciencealapelle, try to share the joy of doing science beyond the borders of our lab and make science more inclusive.

Hi All, I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Prof. Lara Mahal Lab @glycocode. Working on #GeneExpression regulation by #miRNAs, #sialicacid, So excited to be here and have scientific discussion!
