Always great to see former lab members shine in their further career! Massive congrats Jess Biesiekierski, PhD RNutr!

Maladaptive behaviors can stem from real sensations within the esophagus felt as “threat” response which propagates hypervigilance- it’s a vicious cycle. Getting help from our #GIPsych colleagues so important! Thanks Livia Guadagnoli, PhD for the amazing talk at #oeso2024 OESO

Our article on #gutbrainaxis mechanisms of #FODMAP -induced symptoms in IBS with former LaBGAS members Jess Biesiekierski, PhD RNutr Jie Wu as well as Heather Fitzke Blizard Institute received enough citations to be a #TopCitedArticle in APT Journal! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35166384/

Tomorrow I’ll be presenting our work with the experts group within ILSI Europe Prebiotics Task Force in the field of Prebiotics and Cognition at the 12th Microbiome, Probiotics & Prebiotics R&D and Business Collaboration Forum.
See you in The Hague!

I wonder, 4 reviews; approx 2-3 hours per review (probably an underestimation). This comes to more or less $4-5/hour..

At least they tried, 99% of reviewers never get a single dollar for their time

The current 'business' of peer-review is fundamentally wrong

Honored to have been invited by my dpt Chrometa to talk about #Moodbugs project, which forms part of my #postdoc and is the flagship project Laboratory for Brain-Gut Axis Studies. It's always refreshing to get feedback from close colleagues TARGID KU LEUVEN KU Leuven outside the field 🥰✨

Extremely useful (and tedious) work by Bogdan Petre - check it out!
