Transitions in lung microbiota & pneumonia
Microbiota states are predictive of pneumonia subtypes & exhibit differential stability & therapy response. Disruptive forces, e.g. aspiration, associated w/changes in gene expression & microbial community

Segregating pneumonia into pneumotypes
Preview of work using multi-omics to delineate “pneumotypes,” or distinct microbial states, in lungs of pneumonia patients. Pneumotypes have potential predictive value for clinical outcomes & therapeutic success

Excited to share work I led during my PhD - now out in @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social 🎉
Using multiomics, we show that microbiome and host expression profiles dynamically shift during pneumonia treatment and track with clinical outcomes 🧪🫁 #MicroSky

Register Now for the Next mSystems Thinking Series One Health and the African Microbiome Jan. 9, 2026 9 a.m. ET (3 p.m. West Africa Time)
#mSystems Thinking Series webinar is back!
One Health & the African Microbiome | Jan 9 | 9 a.m. ET / 3 p.m. WAT
Africa’s microbiomes are rich, diverse & important. Learn how One Health research can advance health, food security & climate resilience. asm.social/2Iv
The Economist predicted that 2025 would be a year of radical uncertainty, and wow were they right! On the topic, I’m excited to join a panel on Dec 10, 12:30 p.m. ET, representing the ASM Public and Scientific Affairs Committee. If you’re interested in ASM’s role in advocating for science, join us.
The US government has reopened, but funding for this year is still in limbo. Tell Congress to support federal research and public health funding in FY26. @asm.org has made it easy for you: www.votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAA...

Only amazing inasmuch as I have amazing collaborators ❤️
Working with this awesome group to think deeply about dust has been a tremendous source of joy. So glad to see this paper out!
The next mSystems Thinking Series webinar is open for free registration!

Student exemplar slides showing a portion of their evolutionary analysis.
From Jurassic Park to Pokémon! Rather than dismissing portrayals of science in popular media, this assignment in #JMBE uses them to enhance students' scientific literacy and critical thinking about core evolution and biology concepts. Learn more: asm.social/2Fg
I love the microbiology of the seemingly mundane. You'd be amazed at how much you we have to learn from a toothbrush!

Tanja Woyke has an entire bacterial phylum named after her but no wikipedia page??
Beautiful piece about microbes, buildings, and health 🤩

As national medical, scientific, public health and patient organizations, we call for the resignation of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to ensure the health of the American people. Read our statement: asm.org/press-releas...
OMG 💯 Why is it always the same ones? Like, there are 3,000 constants. Why are they all k??
I have wondered that for ever... 😅
Deadline extended to 18 Sept!
The Trump administration has proposed overturning the EPA’s endangerment finding, the science-based determination that greenhouse gases threaten public health.
Join 650+ of your peers who have signed AGU’s letter to defend climate science.

Delighted to see the latest paper from our collab with Terence is out!
Phew!!! Thank goodness we have a 2025 GRFP announcement!
Science communication has never been more essential. Grateful to BioRender for making it easier and hoping to get a boost for grants 🤞 #BioRenderForGrants
I am also looking forward to this conference. Submit an abstract if you haven’t already!
Looking forward to this amazing phage conference.
Tomorrow last day for abstract submission.

Want to name a real virus? I have recently discovered 9 new phages which now need names! To enter, you simply need to donate to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust on my JustGiving page (£2 = 1 entry) and share your email with me on donation (see link info). Please share 💚 www.justgiving.com/page/meaghan-c-1
Looking for a postdoc? Like microbes and corals? Want to expand understanding of symbiosis while simultaneously developing new biotech? Join me and Shayle Matsuda at Shedd! We want to support a candidate for a Walder Biota Award. Check the link or contact me

Tone deaf - and also I think wrong. I don't think there even is a B team. Some amazing people will stay. Some amazing people will leave. More probably, some amazing people who would have come will stay away. There will just be a smaller pool to draw from.
