Did You Work on a Terminated NIH Grant? ProPublica Wants to Hear From You. The National Institutes of Health is canceling grants that are seen as conflicting with the Trump administration’s priorities. We want to hear from researchers who have been affected.

Also, please use all of the resources in this paper.
We made a Shiny app for easy viewing of the RNASeq data. And the paper has many supplemental tables
of the RNASeq and metabolomics data in various formats for easy data analysis. Enjoy!

New paper out! We looked into what our favorite beneficial microbe does to gut hormones. We found L. reuteri regulates many gut hormones like PYY and GIP but also vasopressin, which we didn't know was made in the gut. Check it out!
