Odd question for the chicken people. I have read an old paper saying that if you place suspensions on the chick vent it will suck the material inside itself and it can travel to the caeca by peristalsis. Anyone tried this with faecal/caecal transplants, probiotics or prebiotics?

Very nice paper about host genetic impact on the microbiota: microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

I'd like people's opinion. If you are reviewing a paper and it is fatally flawed, do you still go on to review it in detail? I tend to, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I may be wasting my time.

Very excited to announce that our latest paper on the gut microbiota of Ethiopian indigenous chickens is now out in Microbiome (microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…)! Many thanks to all my co-authors, and particularly my co-first author Xinzheng Jia!

Getting quite worried that the new government policies are leaning further and further towards austerity. This did not work last time, and it certainly won't deliver growth.

Thank you to all for recommending my book How To Argue With A Racist these last few days. As I say in it, it’s a shame that it’s needed, and this summer more than ever. £5 How to Argue With a Racist: History, Science, Race and Reality amzn.eu/d/7CQh0Tp
