Very cool! I'm curious how this work started: were you - personally - interested in reducing the use of mammalian models? Were you always interested in insect models or was this project just kind of handed to you?
I'm always curious about scientist's personal connections to their projects (if they have any).
P.S. I work in the microbiome space too, and am super excited about any research that could reduce the number of mice my lab has to use :)
