Our new collab study in @ScienceMagazine shows an important role of gut #microbiome in highly flexible #hibernation metabolism. Potential apps to humans in states of N deprivation, inactivity, microgravity. Bigups @EdnaChiang @SadieGugel @13liner @suenlab

Hummingbirds: from one far side of the metabolic spectrum to the other. Here's a neat animated vid on hummingbird metabolism and torpor based on a new study from @WelchLab_UTSC. Nice work Erich et al!

Shrews: tiny power engineers. They construct/locate their cell powerhouses (mitos, obv) next to cell structures that require power most. B/c these structures vary among tissues, so too does mito morphology/localization. Great study by @dillon_chung et al.

What a study showing UCP contributions to hypoxia tolerance of mole rats. UCP expression decreases soo rapidly after hypoxia onset! And body temp regulation is not abandoned, just reset to low level right above ambient. Nice work, check it. @TattersallG

@CitImmCanada 2/2 …now on the hook for thousands of $. Plus, no RAMQ # limits childcare options, so we’re restricted to single income. This is all very stressful! We understand COVID delays at CIC, but please help us. We desperately want healthcare for our child. What can we do?.

Our new preprint demonstrates a significant and important role of the gut #microbiome in highly flexible #hibernation metabolism. And unlike most processes during hibernation, this one increases. @EdnaChiang @SadieGugel @madmicrobiome @13liner @suenlab

A checklist for designing & reporting aquatic respirometry experiments? So handy! Nice work @shaunkillen et al. Also, I love this fig. I suspect many research topics scale this way. #fishsci

NASA's previous crewed lunar program was a largely national endeavour. This lunar program, not so much. Hooray for international collaboration! #DareToExplore #NASA #Artemis #CSA_ASC.
Historic news! 🌕. Canada has secured two astronaut flights to the Moon, including one on Artemis II, the first crewed lunar mission since 1972: #DareToExplore

Thanks for hosting me @lynnjrothschild et al. at @NASAAmes (and many other places!). Wonderful discussion. Amazing how many angles & perspectives one can approach the same biological system from. Hooray for complex systems!.
