Reflecting on #SSIB2025 and my time as Prez of @ssibsociety.bsky.social. Thrilled to be part of this community of scholars focusing on ingestive behaviors.
Kicked things off with the 🔥 Presidential Symp featuring @jfcryan.bsky.social, @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social, Kimberly Smith and Suzanne Higgs

Really enjoyable to speak at the Presidential Symposium of @ssibsociety.bsky.social #SSIB2025 in Oxford

First up @jfcryan.bsky.social discussing the gut microbiome across lifespan.

"Similar to people, only one microbe necessary to affect an ecosystem."

Great presidential symposium on the first full day of #SSIB2025 including inspiring talks by @jfcryan.bsky.social, @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social, Kimberly Smith, & Suzanne Higgs.

Kicking off SSIB 2025! #SSIB2025

Very proud of @elizschneider.bsky.social The latest #cryanlab postdoc to get a permanent faculty position. Best of luck in School of Applied Psychology- they are lucky to have you and I look forward to all the exciting things to come from the Schneider Lab!

A role for microglia in mediating the microbiota–gut–brain axis - Nature Reviews Immunology This Perspective explores how the gut microbiota influences the function and heterogeneity of microglia, highlighting their roles in neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, and discusses the therapeutic potential, challenges and clinical implications of targeting microbiota–microglia interactions.

What's new on gut–microglia communication for shaping microglia-related functions? This timely review addresses opportunities and clinical implications

The microbiome diversifies long- to short-chain fatty acid-derived N-acyl lipids Mass spectrometry data mining tools enabled the creation of an MS/MS spectral library containing hundreds of N-acyl lipids, including conjugates with short-chain fatty acids. This resource enabled the...

If you have ever wondered what might happen to short chain fatty acids made by the microbiome. Here is a large class of metabolites and how they link to biology. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Paper: "getting the hologenome concept right: an eco-evolutionary framework for hosts and their microbes"

Gearing up for an exciting talk by @jfcryan.bsky.social!

He started in the brain and ended up in the gut, so opposite trajectory from mine. But as Hippocrates say, everything starts in the gut - or more accurately, in the evolution of the holobiont.

Really looking forward to giving a lecture at the Nobel Forum @ki.se Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm tomorrow 12th June
