It’s an atrocity and inexcusable that an individual like this is leading our national health agenda. Contact your local/state/ national congressional leaders to boldly protect health science from this ignorant, dangerous leader. Now is the time to defend evidence-based health policy in the USA!

Great coverage of my bioengineering & data science dissertation research at the ISB with Profs. Sean Gibbons and Leroy Hood. Thank you @usatoday.com and @gibbological.bsky.social!
I spoke with Dana Taylor on The Excerpt (@usatoday.com) about @jpjohnson.bsky.social's recent paper on bowel movement frequency vs. molecular phenotype/health markers in a cohort of generally healthy people, & the potential implications for chronic disease youtu.be/bNNPA1xORY4?...

Thank you Vice News for covering my team and I’s research on bowel movement differences in healthy adults and the impact during my doctoral study at the @isbscience.org & @uwseattle.bsky.social with Prof Sean Gibbons at @gibbological.bsky.social
Enjoy the article!

What Your Poop Schedule Says About Your Health
Data from over 1,400 healthy adults can’t be wrong: pooping once or twice a day means you’re doing pretty well, healthwise.

This is why it’s important to know the context to the science!
Why is the NIH investing $$ to study "transgender" mice🐭? 🤔 Let me explain 👇 🧵

TL;DR This has everything to do with your health and nothing to do with making people #transgender.

Great coverage of our recent work on the impacts of bowel movement frequency on the body in the BBC: www.bbc.com/future/artic...

How often should you poo?
The ideal poo is a 'type 3' or 'type 4' – cracked or smooth sausage – delivered once per day.

Thanks for featuring our work!
Everybody poops, but not every day. Study finds link between bowel movement frequency and overall health.

When people bring up that foundations such as the Gates foundation pay only 10% indirects, please be aware that these foundations explicitly expect the US Government to cover the majority of the indirects.

Colleagues in #PuertoRico just told me that the pause in funding cuts to grants from NIH does not include US territories! Support for administrative costs (real expenses)
@uprrp.bsky.social is going from 49% to 15%, a huge blow to a system already suffering staggering cuts by @fombpr.bsky.social

Johannes showed how bowel movement frequency (BMF) was strongly associated with both the gut microbiome and the blood metabolome in Cell Reports Medicine. Constipation & diarrhea were associated with toxic microbial metabolites & organ stress. Check the altmetric on this one doi.org/10.1016/j.xc...
