Yesterday, at "The Microbiome in Food Systems" symposium at the HCSPH. To live healthier lives, we need healthy microbes... to get those, we need healthier soils and better practices in the food industry ... to know how, we need more research... and to do that ... we need FUNDING #HCMPH2025
Hasta siempre, Pepe. Gracias por tu ejemplo de integridad y humildad, por tus enseñanzas y tu legado de sabiduría y amor por la justicia. Aquí, "seguiremos siendo buenos, aunque no sirva de mucho" Descansa en paz viejo ❤️ #pepemujica

The gut microbiome signature from different diets in 20,000 individuals. Red meat intake correlated with reduced cardiometabolic health; the opposite for plant-based foods or in omnivores with enriched plant-based intake

The semester is over! 🎓 Grateful for another group of curious undergrads diving into the gut-brain connection. 🦠🧠 We explored how our microbiota responds to mental and physical states while profoundly shaping them. There’s so much to discover—here’s to the future generation of gut-brain scientists!
Last week we celebrated Joseph Ledoux’s career and retirement. I will always be thankful to Joe and Liz Phelps for enabling me to follow my curiosity and studying the gut microbiota. Thank you for taking the risk with me. I’m honored to be part of your incredible legacy @thephelpslab.bsky.social
Nearing the end of the Gut-Brain Axis course for Harvard undergrads! 🧠Thanks to Dr. Laura Cox for teaching us the connection between gut microbiota and neurodegenerative diseases 👵 and to Dr. Rafael Rezende for showing the surprising role of γδ T cells in shaping microbiota and modulating behavior🦠
