Excited to share my summer plans! 🌞 This summer, 3 incredible microbiome study curation teams we'll be selecting, curating, reviewing, analyzing, & expanding two key microbiome databases: cMD & BugSigDB. A huge thank you to @cibiocm.bsky.social & @bioconductor.bsky.social for making this possible.
Listening #miGutHealth talks! Right now: Metagenomics of the human microbiome to support precision nutrition strategies by Nicola Segata
🎉 @bioconductor.bsky.social welcomes Firdaws Lamidi and Peace Daniel as our May 2026 #Outreachy interns! To all applicants: you were amazing and this community is still yours. We'd love for you to keep contributing to #BugSigDB and #OpenScience 💙🚀
And then we got creative, the children colored a fantastic bacteria sheet from the American Museum of Natural History’s Microbes Coloring Book: www.amnh.org/explore/olog... I’m happy to have opened a small door into science for these children. 2/3
I had the joy of giving a kindergarten workshop: “Bacteria in and around us!” 🦠✨ To spark their imagination and start our discussion, I showed them the beautiful @contamclub.bsky.social 2026 calendar, full of vividly colored and uniquely shaped bacterial colonies. 1/3
New #MVIFconversations episode is recorded and our lips are sealed on who the guest is. What we will say: they ditched their old career for #microbiome science, and their favourite paper is a wild one. Two researchers tracked their own gut microbiomes every single day... 1/2
The podcast, Episode 3 with @merenbey.bsky.social is OUT Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1Cke... Amazon music: music.amazon.com/podcasts/81c... Apple Music: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m... YouTube podcast: youtu.be/-qC3qSU884U?...
What a fantastic experience meeting the ISCB SC RSG-Nigeria association! Their commitment to empowering the next generation of computational biologists in Nigeria through education, collaboration, and innovation is truly commendable. It was as fun as it was inspiring, thank you!
AND shhhh, I have to share with you that @cpavloud.bsky.social @tosina.bsky.social and I recorded a new episode with a Balkan rebelling vibe about open-source in microbiome science, mentoring and yes, rebelling! I can't wait to tell you who was our guest. 2/2
Today I had the pleasure of meeting the 🇵🇹 Microbiome HD Lab Great to see Bich Ngoc Do's work on the Portuguese gut resistome data using argNorm (github.com/BigDataBiolo... by @bigdatabiology.bsky.social). Impressive, methodical research! @anasalmeida.bsky.social thank you for the invitation!
Hello from the @bioconductor.bsky.social community and our interns @tosina.bsky.social and @docteedee.bsky.social who will work with us on bugsigdb.org/Main_Page Happy internship start to all #outreachy interns!

#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
Greetings to our #SEARCHER_JPIAMR colleagues! (Ioannis and I used to work on #AMR within #EMBARK project.) Ioannis Kampouris will present today his work on plant-beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere. #mbkceesme2025 people, don't miss it!
and first task done!! ✅ to hug @cpavloud.bsky.social after many many #MVIF events working together (online) @microbiomevif.bsky.social
#mbkceesme2025 🇬🇷 already mingling @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social
👋 @mikeneugent.bsky.social On my way to #mbkceesme2025 🇬🇷 See you soon @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social !
NEXT WEEK -> #mbkceesme2025 🇬🇷 Drop me a line if you want to chat over ☕ about open science and open source: #BugSigDB #curatedMetagenomicData @microbiomevif.bsky.social #Outreachy @nsurp.bsky.social #microbiomedigest 👋 @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social
🎆 Season 5 is coming! Working meeting complete with @serenamanara.bsky.social (Italy 🇮🇹), @azufre451.bsky.social (Japan 🇯🇵 + fireworks!), and @svetlanaup.bsky.social (Serbia 🇷🇸) FREE monthly global #MVIF returns soon 🌎🌍🌏 #microbiome #openscience @microbiomevif.bsky.social
Oh, I love this ☕️ surprise! ⬆️ Sending to you another coffee greeting ⬇️
Another GREAT mentee-mentor meeting! (🤫 @toriaburah.bsky.social made an awesome plan after the #outreachy internship)
