Did You Work on a Terminated NIH Grant? ProPublica Wants to Hear From You.

The National Institutes of Health is canceling grants that are seen as conflicting with the Trump administration’s priorities. We want to hear from researchers who have been affected.

A big week of firsts for the lab! First big genotyping run of our mice and first immunofluorescence assay and imaging! 🍾🥳

New paper out! We looked into what our favorite beneficial microbe does to gut hormones. We found L. reuteri regulates many gut hormones like PYY and GIP but also vasopressin, which we didn't know was made in the gut. Check it out!
