Accurate predictions on small data with a tabular foundation model - Nature
Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network, a tabular foundation model, provides accurate predictions on small data and outperforms all previous methods on datasets with up to 10,000 samples by a wide margin.

Is anyone going to the 2026 U.S.-Africa Frontiers of Science, Engineering, and Medicine symposium?

I think this paper is among the most sophisticated I’ve been involved in producing 🥹 Today, we published our article below in @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social with @lishideng.bsky.social @carllachat.bsky.social @meghanazad.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/a/1mHq46t8JE... [1/6]
Summary
Early-life gut microbiome development is shaped by complex maternal and nutritional influences, yet the temporal and directional structure of these interactions remains unclear. In a longitudinal study of 152 mother-infant dyads in rural Burkina Faso, we examine how maternal gut and milk microbiomes, alongside milk components, influence infant gut microbiome development during the first 6 months. At 1–2 months, the infant gut microbiome clusters into three types: Escherichia-dominated, Bifidobacterium-dominated, and a diverse, pathogen-prevalent profile, which become less distinct by 5–6 months. Early infant gut microbiomes associate with maternal prenatal gut microbiota and early milk microbiome and oligosaccharides, while later variation links to other milk nutrients. Furthermore, early infant gut profiles predict subsequent milk composition, suggesting potential bidirectional communication between infant needs and maternal lactational physiology. These findings offer insights into early-life microbial development and inform future mechanistic studies and microbiome-targeted interventions, particularly in low-resource settings.

Severe acute malnutrition, the technical term for child starvation, is the most horrifying thing you could possibly imagine. I promise you that. I have spent my entire career combating it.

Should you return home after earning your PhD abroad? This Nature article explores the dilemmas faced by international researchers considering a move back to their home countries. A thought-provoking read for anyone navigating global academic careers.  www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Should I return to my home country after my PhD abroad?

Welcome to storytime (with AI illustrations) 📖🥰 In 2022, our team launched the #DenBalo study, the goal of which is to use #multiomics to uncover the biological underpinnings of vulnerability in #preterm newborns compared to full-term counterparts. www.linkedin.com/pulse/we-exp... [1 of 12]

Many pregnant women in rural #BurkinaFaso struggle to eat enough to meet the demands of their growing babies. This leads to higher rates of #miscarriage, still- and #preterm birth, and intrauterine growth restriction.

If you’re reading this and you’re in Addis this week, let’s get drinks and find an Ethiopian jazz concert 🇪🇹

My out-of-office automatic reply is set. I’m about to (not really) slam my laptop closed for the holidays. Currently, I’m in Detroit with my family and about to head to the airport to pick up my partner and dog, who are joining us. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Nutrition friends far and wide! Submit your abstracts to #ICN2025 and come visit me in Paris this coming summer. The weather is beautiful in late August and I promise you a glass of fine wine on a terrasse (on me). Deadline is today, 23:59 UTC+2 🍷🗼

Thrilled to present at #ISRHML2024 on behalf the #IMiC consortium! We analyzed maternal nutrition interventions in Burkina Faso, Pakistan & Tanzania, finding #BEP shifts human milk composition, increasing B-vitamins & seemingly enriching polyunsaturated fatty acids for neurodevelopment. #misame3 🥛🌍🌏

Milk friends! Lishi, Laéticia and I are on our way to The International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation (#ISRHML) conference in Charleston, SC. Laéticia and I both present on Tuesday and Lishi presents on Thursday. Come find us and connect! Looking forward to it 🥛🤓

🔥 Hot off the press! Today we published a paper in linking Ochratoxin A (#OTA) exposure in Burkinabè newborns to adverse birth outcomes. Instead of drafting the standard tweetorial, I used #NotebookLM to create a podcast that summarizes our paper! It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good! 🎧

Hi #BlueSky. Thanks for the follow back! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Trenton. I'm a nerdy, ginger, dog daddy with a knack for #dataviz and a lifelong commitment to #globalhealth. I’m super happy to be here, and I hope we can make this space even better than the golden age of #Twitter 🧡
This is my one-year-old Petit Brabançon (smooth-coat Brussels Griffon in English) puppy, Precious Angel Baby. She goes by “Baby” for short. She weighs 3.25 kg but is very sassy and extremely stubborn-headed. She loves Comté, French fries, and running off-leash in the grass—but above all, she loves crawling back into bed with her daddies after her morning walk and sleeping until at least 11:00 a.m on the weekends 🐕
