Successful early-career scientists rely on network of mentors
Large networks are particularly beneficial to researchers in under-represented groups.

Bunsen burners’ reputation for sterilizing workplaces flames out
Study shows that the venerable device does not waft bacteria away from workbenches, as is often assumed.

We started today our "Increasing the Incorporation of #Microbiology Topics into Secondary School Curricula Through a Professional Development #Summer #Workshop" with Mary Allen from #Hartwick College and high school teachers from teachers. #education @femsmicro.org @asm.org
A vibrant audience of young bright minds, wanted to learn today as much as possible to navigate themselves through the maze of scientific writing and publishing. Special thanks to Roberto Kolter! and @asm.org #university of the #Aegean #mytilini #lesvos

Segata Lab@cibiocm.bsky.social · 12mo agoTODAY (Oct 23) Nicola Segata will give a talk on host-microbiome coevolution at #TMHMS25 Padua🇮🇹 @tmhms.bsky.social aims to catalyze discussions on the latest conceptual frameworks & technological approaches for studying marine host-microbe symbioses. Full program here 👉 marinesymbioses.eu/program/
Celebrating science & sustainability at @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social! A fantastic conference spanning ecology, biotech & health. Congratulations to the winners of the best talk & poster awards - your work truly stands out #mbkceesme2025 #Microbiology #Ecology #Biotechnology #OneHealth #ClimateChange
Stay tuned for the afternoon session where I will talk about forests! More precisely, the response of soil microbes to forest disturbances. Results from @holisoils.bsky.social and Lifegenmon projects. 🍄🍄🍄 Thank you for support @isme-microbes.bsky.social @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social #mbkceesme2025

Dr. Danny Haelewaters 🏳️🌈🍄🪰🦇🔬🧬@dhaelewa.bsky.social · last yr.Mycena citriformis is a pathogenic fungus causing leaf spots on coffee plants. It also infects stems, leaves, and fruits of other plants. And it is a hotspot for enzymes that break down pectin, a complex plant fiber. I learnt this from Dr. Lene Lange at #mbkceesme2025 @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social
#LynnMargulis once said “… environment is part of the body [of any organism]… something that that is not fully appreciated in #ectoxicology tests. Maria Moustaka at #mbkceesme2025 showcases why this needs to change #scrubber #PAH #marine #pollution #IMO #plankton doi.org/10.1002/etc....
Had a great time yesterday with Konstantinos Kormas (@kkormas.bsky.social), Irene Ramirez Hernandez & Akbar Adjie Pratama (@adjiep.bsky.social) at the professional pathway lunch, part of @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social. Thanks to @isme-microbes.bsky.social for making it possible! #mbkceesme2025
@pawmarkwitz.bsky.social · last yr.Many thanks to @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social for the opportunity to present the results of my research on the genomic and ecological characterization of novel cultivated bacteriophages infecting abundant bacterial freshwater lineages. @isme-microbes.bsky.social #phage #mbkceesmes
Some scientific stories, like the one we just heard from @johncork.bsky.social at the #mbkceesme2025 on human harnessed and highly exploited #yeasts, could easily inspire a movie or a TV series!!!
Yes, there’s more to worry about how we do our science with microbes #bioeconomy #nagoya #biodiversity #cbd @unep.org Lene Lange in #mbkceesme2025

#mbkceesme2025 people, if you see @microbiomevif.bsky.social card next to your poster number, that means we’re encouraging you to submit your work to present at one of our free, global, online, monthly #MVIF events! @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social
It's great to listen to great talks at #mbkceesme2025 @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social @isme-microbes.bsky.social @cristian-vi-al.bsky.social and Aleks Stanojković
👋 @mikeneugent.bsky.social On my way to #mbkceesme2025 🇬🇷 See you soon @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social !
Looking forward to a few inspiring days at #mbkceesme2025 😊 Excited to present my research on how microbes respond to forest disturbances, and to catch up on th latest research. Bonus: revive/start using my social media accounts 😄
