Great to have our paper on the @SkokholmIsland mice out in @molecology. In it, @hanski_eveliina looks at how we can measure an individual’s age from their poo, using an epigenetic clock. Congrats @hanski_eveliina and great to work with @tominator22 and others on this 💩

Online @ScienceMagazine co-lead with @francesspragge1! We looked at why microbiome diversity protects against pathogens. It's down to a simple principle of collective nutrient overlap, which can predict protective communities against a given pathogen! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…🧵👇

Microbiome diversity protects against pathogens by nutrient blocking

Diverse communities of commensal gut bacteria collectively limit pathogen colonization by blocking nutrient access.

Do we need to consider temporal changes in social networks? New preprint led by @PungRachael uses human networks from 5 different social contexts to show how considering the transient nature of sociability is vital for identifying superspreaders: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
