Bioinformatics meets the gut-brain axis Really proud of our postdoc bioinformatician @Thomazsan who led these papers in @NatMentHealth with Thom Quinn & @MBmicrobiome "Bugs as features: concepts and foundations for the compositional data analysis of the microbiome–gut–brain axis"
An international team of scientists led by APCs Dr. @Thomazsan a @ucc researcher, has published a two-part methodological guidebook to the analysis of the microbiome-gut-brain axis in the leading international scientific journal @Nature Mental Health. bit.ly/4a5r5tX

Had a great time presenting in San Diego at #INKS2023 after an enlightening few days soaking up the sunshine and the world of ketogenic diet therapies.
Brilliant presentation by @MBmicrobiome on “The Microbiome for Mind and Mood: Knowns and Unknowns” to finish #INKS2023. Great to see Australian science leading diet and microbiome research!

Microbiome meets biophilia design. @ericcoreyfreed asks "what if the cancer facility could become part of treatment?" Aligning architectural elements to biology and sensory experience. Love it. @anfarch

More from @anfa 🦜🌊. An 8 minute break with nature sounds changes pre-frontal cortex activity in a subsequent design task cf 8 mins of silence. Functional connectivity is increased, recruitment of oxygenated hb was more sustained the task was perceived as less demanding 🧠.

Yasaman Gholami and colleagues present on design factors that support social interactions in #mci (mild cognitive impairment) @anfa : semi-transparent spatial partitions, various and flexible seating layout & designing circulation areas adjacent to socialisation areas.

Purposeful return to the office is key to attracting everyone back. @plastarc @anfarch shows us that the personality trait that responds most to leader expectations of office attendance is conscientiousness. Yet these people don't feel as productive in the office 👩‍💻🧑‍💻🏢

Excited to explore new frontiers at the Association of Neuroscience for Architecture @anfarch conference in San Diego this week. So far many parallels with microbiome field: highly interdisciplinary, high levels of curiosity and experimentation, wide range of methods/approaches

'Green brain capital' is one of those interdisciplinary ideas that sounds quirky at first glance. But once you sit with it, it seems obvious to combine brain health and environmental health. Humans are a part of nature after all. What would happen if we m…lnkd.in/gfe6Wgns
