The #TMHMS25 has just wrapped up! It’s been four amazing days of stimulating discussions and sharing our science in a wonderfully relaxed and supportive atmosphere. There was a truly genuine sense of community among all participants, which I really cherish. Cheers, to the next one! 🌊

Live from the Italian Dolce Vita at the Trends in Marine Host-Microbe Symbiosis Conference hosted by the illustrious @memartino.bsky.social and @raquelpeixoto.bsky.social with the best scholars/friends @momedinamunoz.bsky.social @sabinallarosa.bsky.social @jcamthrash.bsky.social et al.

We're very much looking forward to connecting with young scientists and making the marine holobiont community grow and evolve! Looking forward to seeing many of you there!

Extending microbiome research across diverse organisms is key to understand the complexity of host–microbe symbioses In our latest study, we developed a protocol to generate #gnotobioticclams We hope it will be useful for a wide range of bivalves to test microbial traits in nature and aquaculture
