A very useful set of learning resources on food safety of fresh produce
Our @USDA_NIFA funded produce safety project has released its first three undergraduate produce safety teaching modules: foodsafety.foodscience.corne… Recorded lectures and slides are freely available to everyone @lauraKstrawn @michelledanyluk

Interesting study on Enterococcus faecalis c-di-AMP signalling - especially when exogenously added c-di-AMP rescues the growth defect of a cdaA mutant. Is c-di-AMP a 'first messenger' also? πŸ€”

Debaryomyces hansenii is a VERY common yeast in aged cheeses and other fermented foods. It has generally been considered safe for humans (and potentially even "probiotic"), but this work suggests possible problems for those with Crohn’s disease science.sciencemag.org/conte…

Potential probiotics for marathon runners πŸ˜€
Long time brewin', but thrilled to see our work describing a human-microbiome metabolic symbiosis in exercise published in Nat Med today: go.nature.com/2LeBAC0. Extremely proud of my grad students Jacob Luber and Ted Chavkin, and the guy that started all of this Jon Scheiman.
