🧵A mini thread on the big news today in microbiome therapeutics... To date, no live biotherapeutic products have been approved to go on the market as drugs. But the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee held a meeting today... a LONG meeting.

Soil bacteria friends - has anyone used a biochemical test strip (e.g. API type thing) to ID soil bacteria? We want to do it in an ugrad lab, any recommendations would be great!

MILK TIME 🥛! Have you ever considered that it’s a bit weird that you drink the milk of another animal, and it’s totally normal? Milk is a billion-dollar industry. A *HUGE* new human evolution paper just dropped, upending one of the great modern evolutionary ideas. 🧵 1/n

I'm with Dave and Elinne. I really like what I do, but it's not the only thing I like to do. I'll be happy to move on when the time comes, go do some other fun stuff, and let someone else take my place at work (if my place continues to exist).

As the monkeypox virus (MPX) outbreak continues, a lot of data emerging in real-time & being rapidly disseminated (as well as misinformation). I complied the unfolding scientific data (with direct links to papers and threads) on what we (don’t) know so far. #IDTwitter 🧵(1/n)
