"Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are." It turns out, microbes follow the same rule!
Very proud to share our lab's new paper in @natmicrobiol.nature.com showing that bacteria don't just respond to their environment, they respond to each other.

Biotic interactions modulate protein abundance, reducing functional redundancy and increasing productivity in complex bacterial communities.
Maybe we shouldn't let a black-box AI product decide who gets to become a board-certified physician... ?

ESCMID 2026 highlights
COBRA Trial – One day is enough
Dutch RCT: 1 day of antibiotics after ERCP drainage for cholangitis was non‑inferior to 4–7 days.
Bottom line: Antibiotic durations can safely be much shorter once source control is achieved.

Huge thanks to my great collaborators:
@avehtari.bsky.social, @paulbuerkner.com, @stefanradev.bsky.social, @lacerbi.bsky.social, @marvin-schmitt.com!
Very pleased to see this work published. We analysed the oral microbiomes of children with noma and found that previously uncharacterised Treponema bacteria were both prevalent and highly abundant.

Listener: My chains aren't converging
Andrew: Your model is bad
Aki: Your parameterization is bad
Richard: The Buddha teaches us that numerical integration is suffering
