Perfect!! I will try to make it so we advertise to alumni next year too. What site or spot would be best? Also I do have an extra new XL, if that would work for you.

They are done selling them this year unfortunately :( Let me know if you want one next year!! They usually sell them in October so people get them by Christmas.

Successful Fecal Microbiota Transplants in Post-antibiotic Treated Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Patients Induce Acylcarnitine and Sphingolipid Lipidomic Shifts Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is an urgent public health threat in the United States, resulting on an annual basis in over half a million cases, more than 29,000 deaths, and $4.8 billion in...

Really nice work driven by postdocs Dr. Gancz in my lab and Dr. Zhang in Baker @erinbakerims.bsky.social lab at UNC, looking at novel lipids and how they might play a role in restoring colonization resistance against C. difficile in patients with rCDI post FMT.

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation.

Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants:

1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process.
2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers.
3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.
