Excellent talk by Myles at #MEEHubs2026, our lab's first grad student. If you ever wonder what a gut microbiome and the different pieces of a burger have in common, ask him.

Please consider helping out next time!! It's a great time to organize! Have your say where the hubs are in 2028.

If you want to keep MEEHubs alive and see it back in 2028, consider being an organizer yourself! Please fill out this very short survey by scanning the QR code or clicking here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

What, is it over already? MEEHubs2026 concluded just minutes ago. It's been a blast, and here are some stats for you: 711 registrations, 241 posters, 71 talks, 3 days, participants from 32 countries. Bye from all the hubs 🩵🩵🩵 #MEEHubs2026 #MEEHubs26

MEEHubs doesn't stop when the talks stop: from a mouth-watering spread in Morelia to a bonfire in Irvine to an Apero in Zurich, we've got your social calendar covered during the conference #MEEHubs2026 #MEEHubs26

MEEHubs has both in-person posters at the hubs and virtual posters online! We're so excited to be able to bring great research together through this platform #meehubs26 #meehubs2026

MEEHubs or MEEPubs? Our cross-hub pub quiz pitted hubs against each other in a thrilling battle. Congrats to "alan", "Tom" and "swayam" for winning free registration to a local hub at the next MEEHubs! #MEEHubs26 #MEEHubs2026

Great atmospheres at social events at each hub! Not only a great place to listen to MEE talks, but an opportunity to eat a massive spread in Chernihiv, play bocce in Ann Arbor, or stand in the rain in Manchester. Don't worry Montreal, you're not the only hub with downpour! #MEEHubs26 #MEEHubs2026

Day 1 wrapped up with the Irvine and Ann Arbor hubs hosting. Thanks all for an amazing first day and see you tomorrow! Grab a beer, a coffee, or finish off your z's to prep for a fully packed Day 2. #MEEHubs26 #MEEHubs2026

The next few sessions were hosted by Chernihiv, Morelia, and Montreal. That's excellent science spanning 9h of time difference! #MEEHubs2026 Sad you missed out on one of these talks? Don't worry! They're all recorded so you can view whenever you want!

You know it’s @meehubs.bsky.social if one hub has beer while another has breakfast. The Zürich hub is concluding a fantastic first day of #MEEHubs26 - can’t wait to rewatch what we’ll be missing out on tonight and excited for two more days of science and fun across hubs 🙌🏼🚀

MEEHubs2026 is underway! We had a great start in the first two sessions with Zurich and Manchester hosting some excellent talks! It's not too late to join us virtually via last-minute registration: meehubs.org #MEEHubs2026

New Perspective out co-led with Lisa Pagani! We look at how microbiome ecology and evolution shape AMR across scales, from within-host communities to hospitals and environments, and how mathematical models can help us understand them. @natmicrobiol.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As the year ends, we decided to select our favorite papers of 2025 Turns out, it is impossible as we love them all! So, we picked 'some' that exhibit the range of microbiology highlighted through the columns of Nature Microbiology. Here is a glimpse into #EditorPicks of 2025 #MicroSky 🦠

Two interesting papers, two different contexts, but both reminded me of the super cool recent article in @natmicrobiol.nature.com by @erikbakkeren.bsky.social that goes about setting general rules for ecological success in microbial communities. #MicroSky #MicrobiomeSky Links in the reply

The latest paper by @erikbakkeren.bsky.social and the Foster group shows a potential way to engineer the microbiome by replacing problem strains with beneficial ones Find out more @natmicrobiol.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Strain displacement in microbiomes via ecological competition - Nature Microbiology

Mathematical modelling and experimental tests reveal principles that govern displacement of a resident strain by an invader in microbial communities.
