Today: why do eigenvectors keep showing up in models of networks and influence?!

Figure shows impact of preparation on postbiotic, metabolite (FDM), live microbes (FAM), and probiotic content.
Paper also highlights research needs
Great works from @GutBugs2 @GardnerPhD

Today, Busara celebrates a significant milestone as Francis Meyo steps in as our new CEO. Francis joined Busara in 2016 as an Engagement Director before rising to the previous VP role, serving under James Vancel and Chaning Jang.
As VP, he led Busara’s health portfolio where he focused on projects across sexual and reproductive health, digital health platforms, and innovative demand-creation strategies.
Congratulations Francis!
