I am very grateful to all the study participants, the #Raute, #Raji, #Tharu, #Chepang, & #Newa communities of Nepal. Hearty thanks to the regulators & funding agencies supporting this study. I'd also like to thank @MicrobiomeJ for publishing the study summary in Nepali! (6/7).

This study clearly demonstrates the value of microbiome research in non-industrialized populations, particularly in Nepal where a lifestyle gradient exists, in improving our understanding of global microbiomes. (4/7).

This allowed us to demonstrate that when geography is controlled for, oral microbiome composition, but not diversity, follows the gradient of lifestyles from foraging to industrialism, indicating that lifestyle impacts the oral microbiome. (3/7).

By studying Nepali populations living in similar geographies but practice diverse lifestyles, we decouple geography's effect from lifestyles' role in determining oral microbiome composition. (2/7).

I finally got to watch Wrought at the Al Sidr Film Festival at NYUAD yesterday. What a beautiful film on microbes and their power to transform organic matter into ferment, compost, and rot!.

What people should be worried about is things like these that happens all the time and at many prestigious academic institutions in the US.
