🦠🧑🏼‍⚕️ We are kicking off #EESMicrobiome by taking some time to discuss the gut microbiome in the context of COVID. The Global Grants for Gut Health Symposium is now underway! ➡️ Intro by Atin Sharma @natmicrobiol.nature.com ➡️ Speaker: Mickayla Bacorn, University of Maryland School of Medicine

Microbes have the potential to extend the shelf life of foods, make them more nutritious and flavourful, and reduce their carbon footprint. But microbiologists must champion the research that will underpin the required technological advances, argues a @natmicrobiol.nature.com editorial.
