We have extended the deadline! Register to the #microbiota and health course by 6 August!
Registration is open for NDPIA's Microbiota and Health course held at @storabrannbo on Oct 7-11! In addition to the lectures, we will have two workshops this year that focus on retrieving, annotating and analysing metabarcoding data in R. Register today: ndpia.se/events/microbiota-a…

🚨New paper alert: published in @CellReports - we find that jejunal mucus supports a microbiota that provides local colonization resistance, and that this symbiotic relationship can be broken by Western style diet (WSD) driven mucus aggregation: cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… 1/18 🧵

Well, this is a nice belated birthday present! (We worked for it but publishing isn't always a given). Thanks @BackhedLab for trusting me with this (also not always a given) and both you and @lisa_olsso for the fun science jam sessions (underrated need in science) ❤️
