Microbe video of the week: NPR Animation of the Human Microbiome
Nice video from NPR about the human microbiome that is worth taking a look at
Strain-resolved analysis of hospital rooms & infants reveals overlap between human & room microbiome
Of potential interest – new paper from the Banfield Lab – thanks to Elisabeth Bik for pointing me to this on Twitter. Preterm infants exhibit different microbiome colonization patterns relative to full-term infants, and it is speculated that the hospital room environment may contribute to infant microbiome development. Here, we present a genome-resolved metagenomic …
NAS Study released: #MOBEstudy “Microbiomes of the Built Environment: A Research Agenda for Indoor Microbiology, Human Health, and Buildings”
So this is the culmination of a huge amount of work by a large number of folks. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) just released a new report “Microbiomes of the Built Environment: A Research Agenda for Indoor Microbiology, Human Health, and Buildings”. This report was requested by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the National …
The microbiomes of built environments when the builder is not human
Here at microBEnet we have been trying to help build up the field of “microbiology of the built environment.” Understandably, a lot of the focus of this field has been on human built environments and humans in such built environments. I (and clearly many others) believe that we can learn a lot by expanding this to …
NPR’s @jeremyhobson on @hereandnow interviews @jordan_peccia on “How Do Indoor Microbiomes Affect Human Health”
Worth a listen – On “Here and Now” – Jeremy Hobson interviews Jordan Peccia about the ongoing NPR study on How Do Indoor Microbiomes Affect Human Health? The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine are conducting a study of microbial communities inside buildings and how they affect human health. Source: How Do Indoor Microbiomes Affect Human Health? …
Meeting: Chemistry of Microbiomes in Human Environments – 11/9/16
November 9 Seminar: The Chemistry of Microbiomes in Human Environments Hosted by the Chemical Sciences Roundtable Wednesday, November 9 2pm – 5pm EDT When most people think about microbes, they think disease. For well over 100 years the medical community’s mantra has been that “the only good bug is a dead bug.” But the functions …
Notes from talk by Andrew Moeller on “Evolution of the human gut microbiome”
Andrew Moeller gave a talk at UC Davis Tuesday on “The evolution of the human gut microbiome”. He is a post doc at UC Berkeley working in the Nachman lab. I did not have a working computer so – gasp – I took notes with paper and pen. The talk was quite interesting and I thought …
