Check out this recent paper published in Animal Microbiome by Animal Microbiome Research Group member @anniegwest & colleagues. They investigated the #GutMicrobiome of the threatened takahē & discuss biogeographic patterns and conservation implications. animalmicrobiome.biomedcentr…
Some exciting news from a member of the animal microbiome research community! Congratulations on your new position, Dr. @lauragrieneisen! 🦠🧫🧬
I am elated to announce that I'm joining the Department of Biology at the University of British Columbia- Okanagan @ubcokanagan as an Assistant Professor of Microbiology this summer! Potential grad students- please get in touch!

What shapes gut microbiomes of Alaska's brown bears? Location, location, location! Congratulations to Sarah Trujillo on publishing her first thesis chapter. file:///C:/Users/dlaffert/Downloads/journal.pone.0266698.pdf
Thanks to @AuraRaulo for a really fabulous start to our AMRG workshops yesterday! We got a grand tour of dyadic modelling applied to microbiome data and plenty of code to play with! 🐭 💻
Check out their super paper if interested in these methods nature.com/articles/s41396-0…
And watch this space for more workshops in the future!
For #InternationalWomensDay2022, revisit this special issue (2021) of Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology that focused on Women in Microbiome in Health and Disease. #Microbiome #WomenInSTEM

The Black Microbiologists Association @BlackInMicro was formed in response to underrepresentation of #Black researchers in #Microbiology. Check out the work this group is doing to promote #Equity for Black researchers: blackinmicrobiology.org/ #BlackHistoryMonth
🗣️ #BlackHistoryMonth starts tomorrow, which serves a reminder that our work as #Scientists intersects with history, social (in)equity, discrimination & progress. Learn more about #MicrobesAndSocialEquity by visiting sueishaqlab.org/microbes-and…
Check out this cool #NewPaper led by Animal Microbiome Research Group member @TatianaMurill16 and co-authors. They investigate the relationship between dietary shifts. social interactions, and the #GutMicrobiome in red-fronted lemurs. #ECR

Excited to share our new preprint evaluating the impact of ionizing #radiation on the environmental #microbiomes of Chernobyl wetlands. ☢️🦠
Radiation had impacts on beta diversity (not alpha)!
Very fun collaboration with @pabloburraco and @GOrizaola! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

It has been excellent seeing the flurry of tweets from organisers announcing their #eseb2022 symposia! 🤩
Have a look at the programme and start thinking about your abstract 🤔

Pretty cool metagenomic run of pangolin's feces on the @nanopore GridION! 💩🦠 Quite degraded sample but a (not expected) N50 of 2.5 kb! And more than 1 Gb in 2 hours! Great start! 🧬✅
