Measurement underpins all science. Yet, in microbiome studies, subtle differences in lab protocols can profoundly alter results. In our new study, we compare DNA extraction and library prep methods to assess their impact on ancient oral microbiome recovery. Our results show that no single approach

Wanted to (re-)share that I will be presenting at #Nutrition2025. I will discuss how early-life risk factors for infant rapid weight gain may be linked to the gut microbiome. My presentation will take place this Saturday.

I’m excited to share my latest review paper! As someone with a Classics background, it’s been an incredible journey to come full circle and contribute a resource that bridges the gap between classicists and bioarchaeologists.
