    Really interested in the results, what would be be best way to get notified? (I missed the funding period)

    Will you be publishing the raw sequencing data or the taxa count tables?

    We will publish the taxa count data as well as perform analysis on the raw sequencing data to find additional trends.

    Soylent didn't sit too well with me, I stopped drinking it after 4 days. Really excited about this project! Good luck!

    Very interested in this project. I'm a Soylent drinker myself and recently used uBiome's kit to sequence my microbiome. Will also be interested to hear the results of the IRB assessment. I think this could reasonably fall into the definition of a clinical trial (despite it being very non-invasive).
