We couldn't be more excited for our Gnotobiotic Atlas to be published today! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Preprint update! We've added lots of new data, so please read and share. Our work links the microbiota, microglial development and function, neuronal morphology, and social behavior in a mechanistic arc during early development. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Zebrafish #microbiome
My first manuscript as a postdoc is submitted for publication! Check out the preprint, and let me know what you think! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #AcademicTwitter #microbiome #neuroscience #biorxiv_neursci #bioRxiv
