‘Stamp out paper mills’ www.nature.com/articles/d41... I'm inspired by what @elisabethbik.bsky.social + fellow sleuths are doing. I'm fascinated and thankful that there are people out there who dedicate time to these activities. We need initiatives like this everywhere and at every level in science.

Blastocystis has gained immense interest as a potential gut microbiota influencer. However, it is often studied in isolation, which comes with a risk of misattributing effects that could be due to other common gut micro-eukaryotes. Read more here 👇 #microbiome www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
