Glad to have been part of this new paper, showing how the gut microbiomes of people with a wide range of diseases shift from being dominated by competitive interactions between microbes to being dominated by cross-feeding interactions (1/2) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Imbalance in gut microbial interactions as a marker of health and disease

Imbalances in the human gut microbiome, or dysbioses, are associated with multiple diseases but remain poorly understood. Existing biomarkers of dysbiosis fail to capture the ecological mechanisms tha...

I've usually followed the principle of trying to establish the set of figures before writing text while working on papers. But I just realized this doesn't seem to work for me when writing proposals: I have to organize the ideas with text first before deciding what figures I need.

I really like this essay in the Inquirer on cutting the NIH. It is personal, and it is directed at those who might disagree with the author. I hope some of them read it. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Cutting NIH funding puts my life on the line — and maybe yours as well | Opinion

Private investment in pharmaceutical research can't replace the NIH. Both public investment and the private sector are needed to be world leaders in health care, writes Michelle Francl-Donnay.

Why are there so many fitness metrics in microbial ecology? I was confused as I started the PhD - and with @michaelmanhart.bsky.social , I developed a framework that unifies existing statistics of relative fitness and shows how they all derive from a few basic principles. Preprint is up! 1/n

Quantifying microbial fitness in high-throughput experiments

Few concepts are as central to evolution as is fitness, and yet the quantification of fitness is often ambiguous. In particular, high-throughput experiments to measure mutant fitness in microbes are i...
