New pub! Sourdough starters exhibit similar succession patterns but develop flour-specific climax communities. We compared starters grown from 10 flours, using methods that reflect common baking practices. @BoultedBread @LaurenMNichols @RRobDunn peerj.com/articles/16163/ 🧵1/3

We measured pH and rise, and recorded aromas produced by starters across 14 days. We identified functionally distinct stages of succession, and sequenced microbial DNA from each stage to characterize bacterial succession cross stages and flour types. 2/3

Bacterial succession is broadly similar across flour types, though communities develop flour-specific membership and structure, and produce unique aromatic profiles, by day 10. Our findings support bakers' knowledge and practice + suggest ways to manipulate bread flavor. 3/3

Our paper on using broccoli sprouts to reduce symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in mouse models of Crohn's Disease was accepted in mSystems!!! The raw sprouts worked great in younger mice but not as well in older mice, and we are already working on figuring that out.

My Applied Ecology textbook is publicly available! doi.org/10.1002/978111985000… A culmination of 4 yrs of student assignments / curriculum redesign, co-edited with grad student Emily Rund, funded by @ncsulibraries Alt-textbook grant facilitated by @Tuffy_Librarian + Hillary Fox 🧵1/n

GUT MICROBIAL ECOLOGY

Microbial fermentation unlocks nutrients and prevents spoilage by digesting dietary carbohydrates or protein to produce compounds that prevent putrefaction and the growth of potential pathogens....

The textbook is 95% student-created content, highlighting ecology in North Carolina and diverse researchers of diverse systems. Emily Rund created skeletal outlines to guide students' notetaking. I provide templates for the assignments, in case educators want to use / adapt. 2/n

What’s it take to be a field biologist? Often years of unpaid gigs & safety threats. Marginalized groups suffer more, excluding many. Let's change this. I’m so proud of this @audubonsociety story & thankful for the time & emotional energy from the 30+ people I interviewed.

It's often said: White kids, upon being taught the history of racism, will feel guilty or bad about being White. In fact, White kids who receive antiracist history lessons exhibit fewer racist ideas about Black people while their attitudes about White people are unaffected.

@DrDixonECSU describes the challenges of striving for work-life balance, particularly when so many aspects of her role involve supporting people through personal challenges – whether a student struggles with housing, or a faculty struggles with colleagues. 8/9

People are important. Relationships are important. @DrDixonECSU strives for transparency, accountability and responsibility – and to invite the faculty to share in that. "It's not about I, it's not about me, it's not about we." 9/9
