I'm excited to share our new paper, 'The gut microbiota modulate locomotion via vagus-dependent glucagon-like peptide-1 signaling,' published in npj Biofilms and Microbiomes. Check it out here: https://t.co/yH7yicSX9G Read more in our blog post:

Our latest review article on 【Butterflies in the Gut: the Interplay between Intestinal Microbiota and Stress 】 has just been published with @SpringerNature in the "Journal of Biomedical Science" (supported by the NSTC, Taiwan) Read and share here:

📢 Our paper "Microbial metabolites regulate social novelty via CaMKII neurons in the BNST" is now published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity! 🎉 https://t.co/Brf0ugGosp (pre-proof). This study uncovers the fascinating role of microbial metabolites in shaping social behavior.

Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions. By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. https://t.co/OAsiOVFStI

We have some new funding in @kipnislab and are looking for postdocs who are interested in myeloid cells and neurodegenerative disorders. Email me directly if interested!

Together with former political prisoners our delegation visited the Nat’l Human Rights Museum: a tribute to heroes who suffered & fought for Taiwan’s Democracy. Then we heard from civil society leaders on human rights. We came to listen & learn; we left inspired by their courage.

Our delegation had the distinct privilege of meeting with the President of Taiwan @Iingwen today. We discussed how America & Taiwan can deepen our economic ties, further strengthen our security partnership & defend our shared democratic values.

It was also my high honor to receive from President @iingwen of Taiwan the Order of Propitious Clouds with Special Grand Cordon: a symbol of our treasured friendship. Make no mistake: America remains unwavering in our commitment to the people of Taiwan– now & for decades to come.

Our visit reiterates that America stands with Taiwan: a robust, vibrant democracy and our important partner in the Indo-Pacific.

By traveling to Taiwan, we honor our commitment to democracy: reaffirming that the freedoms of Taiwan — and all democracies — must be respected. Read my opinion piece in the @washingtonpost on why I’m leading a Congressional delegation to Taiwan. https://t.co/tLhIzvfkTH

Our delegation’s visit to Taiwan honors America’s unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s vibrant Democracy. Our discussions with Taiwan leadership reaffirm our support for our partner & promote our shared interests, including advancing a free & open Indo-Pacific region.

.@SpeakerPelosi. Nancy, I'll go with you. I'm banned in China, but not freedom-loving Taiwan. See you there!

We are pleased to inform you that our article, Intracerebroventricular Delivery of Gut-derived Microbial Metabolites in Freely Moving Mice, has been published in JoVE. https://t.co/fIZXSw6mke

We are pleased to announce that our article "Oral short-chain fatty acids administration regulates innate anxiety in adult microbiome-depleted mice" was accepted at Neuropharmacology

Its name is the Republic of China (Taiwan). The people and government of the United States should simply recognize this political, diplomatic and sovereignty reality. The Taiwanese people deserve the world’s respect for a free, democratic and sovereign country.

It is my view that the U.S. government should immediately take necessary, and long-overdue, steps to do the right and obvious thing, that is to offer the Republic of China (Taiwan) America’s diplomatic recognition as a free and sovereign country.

Honored to speak about the importance of America recognizing Taiwan as a free and sovereign country at the @ProspectF.

Taiwan must have America's support if freedom and democracy still have a chance to thrive and triumph in this region and beyond. This is as important for the Taiwanese people as it is for the American people.
