I am happy to share our recently published research work entitled “Traditional human populations and nonhuman primates show parallel gut microbiome adaptations to analogous ecological conditions” in @mSystemsJ 😊. Thank you @lab_gomez @blekhman 👏👏 https://t.co/6Kl2w1ofDY

Cool work by @KristaMilich and colleagues on reproductive senescence in male macaques!
What happens to male primates as they age? This #MonkeyMonday, learn about how @aspvoice member @KristaMilich and colleagues provided the first evidence of reproductive senescence in male Rhesus macaques!

Awesome work by @blekhman's lab: Gut microbiome and host gene regulation landscape in hominids:
Hominid species have distinct gut microbiomes. Do these microbiomes regulate host genes differently? And does this affect the hominid hosts? Our latest, led by @A_Muehlbauer, collab w/ @fluca2406 @rogerpique @lab_gomez + many others https://t.co/fliTBCREew

@mareikecora and @AMelinLab do it again! Congratulations!
New @AMelinLab paper out in @RSocPublishing Bio Letters! We looked at genetic variation related to ethanol metabolism across 85 mammals and found patterns of gene loss & selection related to diet. 🐘🦇🐬 Brief thread with results to follow! https://t.co/B40iwZUToP

Our collaborative study, led by Joe Orkin @Knomascus, of the capuchin genome is now up on bioRxiv. Among other things, we identified positive selection on genes associated with longevity and brain development 1/2 https://t.co/HidYkh0NHT

* Scientists from which countries are using bioRxiv? Who is left out? * Which countries collaborate with each other? In what roles? * Do some journals publish preprints mostly from one or a few countries? Answers in our latest paper 👇 & thread from @richabdill

Remember how America tried to convince you that a Black teen wearing a hoodie at night while carrying a bottle of Snapple juice and a bag of Skittles candy was dangerous? 🤔
This is from one of the “open up the country” protests. You think I should wear this to the next Black Lives Matter rally? I’m sure everything would be fine, right?

It was easy to foresee: within academe, female professors would bear the professional brunt of social distancing during COVID-19, in the form of decreased research productivity. Now the evidence is starting to emerge.
