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!

Can’t wait to read! 👀 Gillingham et al. 2025. @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social “The costs and benefits of a dynamic host microbiome” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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

Join us! This is more than a scientific meeting, it's a platform to catalyze collaboration, share knowledge openly and develop solutions for safeguarding marine ecosystems in a changing world. Great line-up of speakers and early bird rate still available! Please RT!

🚨 Just 4 days left to submit your abstract for #TMHMS25! Don’t miss your chance to be part of cutting-edge discussions on marine holobionts with leading and inspiring researchers. 🌊🏆 The top 10 abstracts will receive free registration and travel support!

A few years back, we experimentally evolved a poorly growth-promoting strain of #Lplantarum and isolated strains with enhanced benefit in insects We then asked: how far can these benefits be optimized? Do they persist in well-fed mammals? 🦠🐭 Find out in our new paper now online! Thread 👇

Only 6 days left! Submit your abstract to #TMHMS25! marinesymbioses.eu/abstract/ Hope to see you there!

📢 #TMHMS25 is happy to support 10 early career researchers presenting at the upcoming symposium! We will select the 10 best abstracts and offer full registration and travel support to the selected participants. Don’t miss this opportunity, submit your abstract by 15 May!

📢The scientific program for #TMHMS is now live! We'll explore the incredible diversity of marine #holobionts and discuss how to embrace an integrated perspective on #symbioses across ecosystems, with an exciting lineup of speakers! We can’t wait to welcome you to Padova! marinesymbioses.eu/program/

Holobiont on display at the @theguardian.com in a top 10 list for #invertebrate of '25. Beautiful imagery here! "Coral #holobiont didn’t conquer nutrient-poor waters through competition, but through cooperation – creating abundance out of extreme scarcity." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

📣First #podcast episode out of #MicrobialConnections! 🦠Listen to Morten Limborg explain the perspectives of #holobiont #biology and how it can transform our #food systems to become more #sustainable 💡 🎧 microbial-connections.simplecast.com/episodes/how... @dg.dk, @ucph.bsky.social

An excellent letter by Dennis Hazelett: www.nature.com/articles/s41... And below is my attempt to motivate people in my group and others elsewhere to read it. Putting it here as well in case it may work on you, too :p

An incredible setting to discuss #biodiversity and #sustainability, especially in the context of #holobionts! Don’t miss out — join us! marinesymbioses.eu

Hurry up, early birds! 🐦 Abstract submissions and registrations to join us at the #TMHMS25 Symposium are now open!

@hologenomics.bsky.social we're super excited to announce the release of #MicrobialConnections - a new #podcast series where we together with #experts dive into the exciting aspects of #holobiont #biology 🦠 🎧Listen and subscribe👇 microbial-connections.simplecast.com @dg.dk @ucph.bsky.social

🚨 Exciting news for marine science & microbiology enthusiasts! Don't miss the Trends in Marine Host-Microbe Symbioses Symposium #TMHMS25 now LIVE! 🌊🦠🐟🐠🐙🐚 marinesymbioses.eu 📅 22-25 October 2025 📍 Padua, Italy Incredible line-up of speakers!

🦠🌍 Thrilled to announce our new perspective out on @sciencemagazine.bsky.social! All life interacts with microbes that play a critical role in shaping hosts' life. We propose that the term #holobiont should be fully embraced to reflect this reality www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

📢PhD fellowship available in our team📢 Combine microbial genomics, advanced imaging techniques and animal social behaviour to understand how microbiomes are transmitted between individuals 🐟🦠🔬🧫🧬 Please share!
