After I finished my PhD, the next big question I wanted to ask is finally answered!
I am very proud to share our new paper on the discovery of #salamander produced antimicrobial peptides and that these peptides influence salamander skin #microbiomes

These are challenging times for science, but I'm happy to share a bright moment: our work is on the cover of Cell today!
We built a compendium of human gut microbiomes integrating 168K worldwide samples, revealing patterns of microbiome variation across the globe

The new issue is out👉cell.com/cell/current
Featuring an engineered Newcastle disease virus that selectively and safely lysed tumors in refractory cancer patients, the identification of rhodoquinone as a mammal mitochondrial electron carrier, and a metagenome-informed metaproteomics approach unravelling the interplay between the host, gut microbiome, and diet to identify disease biomarkers.

New paper on fecal microbiota transplants (#FMTs) in #cheetahs! Giving cheetahs FMTs after antibiotics led to faster gut #microbiome recovery. Important implications for maintaining healthy cheetahs in human care. Great work by @ScienceGalSal and team

I am horrified by @FedEx's commercial portraying a driver who killed a rattlesnake while delivering a package as a hero. I have written a letter to FedEx marketing officials and hope that you will do so as well, and will share this post to get more people involved. 1/4

The informal poll results are in, & as I feared, most people are running ANOVAs in #R with functions that can give highly misleading (or flat out wrong) results. Follow along to see why using anova() and aov() is usually inadvisable & why you should be using car::Anova() 🧵

This is an old one from the #phytools blog archive -- but here's how to use phytools::phylo.to.map with a custom (e.g., high-resolution) shape file base map: blog.phytools.org/2016/07/up….

Excited to have @Carlybacter from the @smithsonian National Zoological Institute speaking to #MILCclub today about milk across all mammals!
Check out her team's fascinating work here (just 1 example of many): pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…

Our work is out!
Did you know that 37% percent of the world’s lands are devoted to agriculture?
Our new report launched at the #IUCNLeadersForum examines policies to help protect biodiversity and secure food for humanity.

Now that I have keys office, I guess I can share that I have officially begun my role as Curator of Mammals @DenverMuseumNS. I am honored to join this institution and could not be more thrilled to be part of such an innovative and forward-thinking group of people (and specimens).

In the chaos of Yr 1 as a prof, I almost forgot to share the latest pub from my postdoc with @sgtringe @jgi out now in @PhytobiomesJ! We used a massive microbe dataset & network analyses to tease apart what makes sorghum so stress tolerant 🌱

I am very happy to report that the review @BanfieldJill and I wrote on Modern Microbiology just appeared in @CellPressNews:
cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092…
Our celebration of microbiology also made it to the cover of this issue and we hope you will find yourself in it, too.
