Here we show that, compared to the Western Diet, the Microbiome Enhancer Diet (MBD) leads to an additional 116 ± 56 kcals lost in feces daily and thus, lower metabolizable energy for the host without changes in energy expenditure, hunger/satiety or food intake

'In physics education research studies I led as a postdoc, I learned that many scientists—particularly those from underrepresented groups—find public engagement helps sustain them through tough times in their careers, just as it did for me. One student shared with me that facilitating the children’s hospital project inspired her to persist in physics; being recognized as an expert by the public helped her overcome a sense that she didn’t belong in academia. I had felt the same.'

In Editors' Choice this week in Science Signaling, we highlight the work of Ahn et al. in Cell. They investigated the adaptor protein ASC2 in bat immune cells. ASC forms aggregates in response to viral infection, resulting in inflammatory cytokine production. However, bat ASC2 suppressed this pathway. Mice expressing bat ASC2 had improved responses to viral infections. The findings suggest how bats may serve as viral reservoirs.

When Coltrane was a member of the Miles Davis quintet, Davis confronted him about the duration of his solos "I don't know what it is," Coltrane said. "It seems like when I get going, I just don't know how to stop."
Davis said, "Why don't you try taking the fucking horn out of your mouth?"

'Indigenous populations are disproportionately affected by COVID-19, but are rarely studied. An investigation of the immune response of Australian First Nations people to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and infection shows a major effect of comorbidities.'
