Happy International #WomenAndGirlsInScience Day! Today we are happy to share some thoughts from our researchers. #WomenInScience UK Research and Innovation Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Anouschka Ramsteijn

Perinatal exposure to fluoxetine and maternal adversity affect myelin-related gene expression and epigenetic regulation in the corticolimbic circuit of juvenile rats bit.ly/3gX3IZn Jocelien Olivier Torsten Plosch, PhD Neuropsychopharmacology

Very thrilling this week - we are in the dept of parasitologie Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar! We are joining Anouschka Ramsteijn and Isobel Gabain to learn how to not break the new Fastprep Bead Beating Machine 😀 UKRI GCRF Action Against Stunting Hub LIDC University of Aberdeen Royal Veterinary College (RVC)

So lovely to finally visit the Action against Stunting Hub team in Senegal!

Huge thanks to Isobel Gabain and Webster Research Group for their collaboration on this wildly interdisciplinary opinion piece. How could parasites cause child stunting? Can't wait to see some of the emerging questions answered in the UKRI GCRF Action Against Stunting Hub studies.

🦠🔬Our paper which maps the composition and function of the gut #microbiome in children throughout 1-18 months of life in rural Zimbabwe, is out today in Nature Communications! A quick 🧵on what we found 👇 nature.com/articles/s4146… Manges Lab Barts and The London, Queen Mary Blizard Institute Zvitambo

Environmental Enteric Dysfunction falters child growth and can be avoided by nurturing a healthy gut microbiota. Our recent publication talks of administering pro-, pre-, and Synbiotics as a pragmatic and safe means to boost gut microbiota to fight EED. rb.gy/n5gdg

Calling all microbiome enthusiasts! Check out our new literature review on malnourished microbes - exploring emerging data on how host-microbial interactions shape undernutrition🦠Ruairi Robertson annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…

Anouschka Ramsteijn took part in the The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition as part of UKRI GCRF Action Against Stunting Hub speaking to everyone from young children to retired professors about joining the dots in science for global child health. An exciting and very engaging Science Made Simple event 🌍

Our new Perspective is out in Nature Microbiology today. It covers some common/emerging myths and misconceptions in the human microbiome field, and explains why they are likely incorrect: nature.com/articles/s4156… A hopefully helpful primer against uncritical repetition.

Collaboration is KEY to combatting global challenges like stunting. We're excited to share the protocols for our multisite study in India, Indonesia, & Senegal. Together, let's drive innovation for healthier futures! #Stunting #ChildNutrition bmjpaedsopen.bmj.com/content/8/Supp…

Cool to have This week in parasitism discussing our Trends in Parasitology review, Gabain et al., (2023) in a podcast (from ~1 hour in), quite rightly concerned about the neurocognitive delays and reductions that accompany physical stunting in children. open.spotify.com/episode/7I65rJ….

Excited to share our research on parasites & children’s growth as free educational materials! Access student articles, teacher’s guides, lesson plans & more via Science Journal for Kids:[lnkd.in/g_ii58bu]. Special thanks to co-authors Webster Research Group & Anouschka Ramsteijn! #STEM
