Really nice work driven by postdocs Dr. Gancz in my lab and Dr. Zhang in Baker @erinbakerims.bsky.social lab at UNC, looking at novel lipids and how they might play a role in restoring colonization resistance against C. difficile in patients with rCDI post FMT.

Ok, my first post here, to test how it works. Blank page... writers block! Resorting to an old favorite photo. Hopefully there is an active proteomics community here (and who knows, maybe that curious squirrel joined as well?)

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation.

Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants:

1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process.
2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers.
3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.
