The 2026 Conference on Beneficial Microbes will be co-organized with the International Symbiosis Society from July 19th - July 23rd. Its not too late to register! #BeneficialMicrobes10 #BeneficialMicrobesMtg #ISS #SymbioSky

Great opportunity!

Great final session of the #BMD2025 in #Leiden Universiteit Leiden today! 😎 With our own @mmzdouc.bsky.social presenting #FERMO, including a flashback to his talk 3 years ago in Utrecht at the #BMD2022, and a fantastic keynote by Jonathan Martin on the #metabolomics of #exposomics!

Great to see it out! Congrats @mmzdouc.bsky.social !

🎉 I'm thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the University of Arizona as an Assistant Professor starting January 2026! I’ll be recruiting PhD students, lab technicians, and postdocs—so if you're interested in host-microbe interactions, I’d love to hear from you!

1/10 A 🧵of resources to learn about AlphaFold (2 and 3). IMO, the best way to get started with AF2 is "AlphaFold. A practical guide" from the EMBL-EBI. It explains how AF2 works in plain English, without code, and covers key metrics like pLDDT/PAE/etc. www.ebi.ac.uk/training/onl...

If you have single cell data with metadata, this approach could be very helpful for you… check it out!

Very useful!

We are looking for a postdoc in bioinformatics interested in broad questions about the ecology and evolution of host-associated microbiomes using social bees as model. Please share with potential candidates and if interested apply here: career5.successfactors.eu/career?caree...
