Come and work with my amazing team at @NHM_Science (London, UK) examining zoonotic diseases in a onehealth context. 2 & 3 yr post-doc positions with a stats modelling and meta-genomics focus respectively: jobs.nhm.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail… jobs.nhm.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail…
Closing: 8th Sept 2024
Great to see the Oxford Microbiome Network launch last week! Look forward to seeing how it can support microbiome-related research and collaboration at @UniofOxford...
The new Oxford Microbiome Network (OMiN) officially launched yesterday! 🦠🔬
Thank you to all who attended the event, presented Oxford's fascinating microbiome science, & helped shape the future of OMiN.
Interested in joining the network? Sign up here: tinyurl.com/3jxyt3dc

Gut microbes move in slightly less mysterious ways… great to see this latest instalment out from @AuraRaulo’s PhD! 🎉

📢Reminder about this wild microbiomes and conservation seminar event this Thursday, free to join - just click on the zoom link in here to do so...
A reminder that we are hosting a virtual seminar on the microbiome and conservation this Thursday (18th)!
Join us at 3pm UK/10am Eastern/7 am Pacific time via the link: aarhusuniversity.zoom.us/j/6…
Great opportunity from @stn_wame for any early career researchers studying wild animal microbiomes that would benefit from some research-related travel…
📢We are excited to announce that our latest call for research exchanges is open!📢
We will provide up to €1400 for travel & accommodation for ECRs visiting groups with complementary research interests.
Deadline May 26th 2024. For more info see wamestn.com/research-exchang…
Great to have our paper on the @SkokholmIsland mice out in @molecology. In it, @hanski_eveliina looks at how we can measure an individual’s age from their poo, using an epigenetic clock. Congrats @hanski_eveliina and great to work with @tominator22 and others on this 💩
Our paper on non-invasive epigenetic age prediction in @SkokholmIsland wild house mice is now out!

Online @ScienceMagazine co-lead with @francesspragge1! We looked at why microbiome diversity protects against pathogens. It's down to a simple principle of collective nutrient overlap, which can predict protective communities against a given pathogen! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…🧵👇
Job alert! Might you fancy a part-time role assisting with wild rodent fieldwork in the beautiful @WythamWoods, as part of project on viral dynamics with @jnaraghwani @cl_faust and I...? If so check it out:

Do we need to consider temporal changes in social networks?
New preprint led by @PungRachael uses human networks from 5 different social contexts to show how considering the transient nature of sociability is vital for identifying superspreaders:

I'd like to encourage those broadly interested in microbial ecology & evolution to participate (present a talk/poster or attend invited/contributed talks). The format is intended to be accessible: everyone is welcome in-person or virtually free of charge: meehubs.org
Abstract submission deadline is coming up on September 29th! This is your chance to talk about your work at the first globally distributed conference in microbial ecology & evolution! meehubs.org You don't even need to endanger the planet to do it ;)

I am very excited to share our new @NatureRevMicro review on the gut microbiota and its biogeography. Fantastic work by Ellie McCallum compiling decades of research together!
