The community is greater than the sum of its parts: The (n-1) dropout experiments that Amelie designed are such an elegant method for unraveling microbiome interactions. Yet again, bacterial tryptophan metabolism emerges as a key driver of cognitive improvement

New preprint! 🐝 We engineered a bacterial biosensor to reveal micron-scale arabinose gradients in the honeybee gut. Congratulations to Audam and all co-authors. Great collaboration with @pengellab.bsky.social as part of the NCCR Microbiomes at @fbm-unil.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Engineered symbiont biosensor maps micron-scale sugar gradients in the honeybee gut

The honeybee gut microbiota plays a key role in shaping host health and susceptibility to disease. Yet, the nutrient environment it experiences within the gut remains poorly characterized. In particul...

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Between June 2024 and January 2025, a full 62% of commercial honey bee colonies in the U.S. died, the largest on record. USDA efforts were slowed by funding cuts and layoffs. Now, USDA scientists have finally identified a culprit. But it may be too late. www.science.org/content/arti...

Scientists identify culprit behind biggest-ever U.S. honey bee die-off

USDA research points to viruses spread by pesticide-resistant mites, indicating a worrying trend

This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper. And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that. Gift link wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

An internal memo, prepared before Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE, raises doubts about the Trump administration’s claims that she supports Hamas.

The most un-American statement ever uttered by a Secretary of State. Also, he is grossly lying about Rumeysa and her actions. I loved #Tufts. It is a fantastic university. But it, and every other US university are not safe for foreign students anymore. Boycott 🇺🇸 until we get rid of these fascists

What Rumeysa Ozturk is apparently getting deported over—signing on to a campus op-ed in support of a student govt resolution calling for institutional action by the university—is not just the essence of protected speech, but the kind of thing that critics of disruptive protest claim to support.
