Reflections after #mbkceesme2025: the Science Communication round table with Svetlana Ugarcina Perovic (@svetlanaup.bsky.social), Mary Allen, Danny Haelewaters & Christina Pavloudi was inspiring - a reminder that science is also about sharing knowledge. Thanks @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social! #edusky

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

Have you noticed a new #MVIF talk terminology? #MVIF Highlights #MVIF Keynote Talk #MVIF Talks Can't wait to start #MVIF 42!

our software, microbetag, for the annotation of microbial co-occurrence networks with phenotypic traits & metabolic complementarities was just published A Cytoscape app is also available to make your life easier (and prettier) #microbiome #metabolic-modeling #networks

Today is a great day to register for #BiM2025 #BlackInMicro Week. Get ready to join our online celebration: linktr.ee/BlackInMicro#BiM2025#BlackInMicroor see link in bio)

Microbes … to eat everything and to be eaten by everyone! #mbkceesme2025 #LeneLange #bioeconomy

#mbkceesme2025 🇬🇷 Savvas Paragkamian is talking about microbiome in the deepest cave of Greece: Gourgouthakes @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social

If you made it this far, thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. I am currently looking for my next research adventure. If you have insights on the microbiome/microbial genomics job market in Europe (academia & industry), or want to chat about this work, please reach out.

Finally, the results of my postdoc at the @bigdatabiology.bsky.social lab in Shanghai see the light! The work includes my three favorite things research-wise: 🦠 microbiome, 🧬 long-reads, and 🐶 dogs. See our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Today at #mbkceesme2025 Professional Pathways Lunch Session I met two young scientists: Eleni Krassa (www.linkedin.com/in/eleniskra...) from National Technical University of Athens (Greece) and Bekir Kasli (www.linkedin.com/in/bkrkasli/) from HCMR (Germany) 1/2

#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

Conferences are not only about sharing research, but also about meeting friends, discovering new ideas, and listening to inspiring talks, even outside of my own field. @cristian-vi-al.bsky.social delivering excellence, as usual 😊 #mbkceesme2025 @mikrobiokosmos.bsky.social @isme-microbes.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

Yes, there’s more to worry about how we do our science with microbes #bioeconomy #nagoya #biodiversity #cbd @unep.org Lene Lange in #mbkceesme2025
