New HXC article is out! @MartaScaglioni on #race and #microbiomescience in #Tunisia on Medical Anthropology (Taylor and Francis): read it here: urly.it/31cr87

@_victorsecco presenting at @medanteurope in Vienna - Day3 of this amazing conference bringing medical anthropologists together #planetary #microbiome #medicalanthropology.

🎉 Amazing news! Our HXC member Marta won the prestigious ERC Starting Grant (€1.5M/5yrs) for her project "CHRoMa"! Among only 12% of proposals funded. So proud! 👏 #ERCGrant #Research #Innovation

🎉 Excited to share that HealthXCross has been featured on the @embl website as an example of anthropology and citizen science! Grateful for the recognition of our work: urly.it/31b-f2. @trec #CitizenScience #Anthropology #CitizenScience

🎉 New paper out in @mSystemsJ "Race by other names: urly.it/31bvth. Analyzed 180 studies to show how "neutral" terms like "population" carry implicit racial meanings in microbiome science #MicrobiomeResearch #ScienceStudies #DecolonialScience

Exciting report from "The Good and the Beautiful: Visualizing Science in the (Post-)Digital Age" panel just published on @4sWeb Blackchannels blog. Led by Valeria Burgio at #STSItalia2025: urly.it/31bq_z #Microbiome #STS #SciComm

🌍 Just attended the "Ethnography on the Move" panel at #ASA2025 @unibirmingham featuring Victor Secco and Marta Scaglioni! Fascinating discussions on mobile fieldwork practices and collaborations between anthropologists and life scientists. #Anthropology #Ethnography

Incredible lecture by Stefan Helmreich (@MITanthropology & NICHE Visiting Scholar) yesterday in the beautiful Aula Baratto at @CaFoscari. His "A Book of Waves" explores how scientists study waves across the US, Netherlands, Australia, Japan & Bangladesh. #anthropologyofscience

Delighted that our colleague Valentina Marcheselli taught at the Interdisciplinary Winter School on Biodiversity @CaFoscari, with CNR ISMAR & National Biodiversity Future Center. Full program details: unive.it/pag/49637 #BiodiversityEducation #WinterSchool #Venice

Antarctic-OME, our twin project, is investigating microbial transmission in extreme environments through an interdisciplinary lens, follow the project on FB: urly.it/314hn9 #microbiome #interdisciplinarity #anthropology @CaFoscari

Wrapping up our incredible "Dialogues Across Art, Microbiology & Anthropology" series! From bacterial cultures to bioart, from philosophical inquiry to scientific discovery. Stay tuned for more interdisciplinary dialogues in 2025! @CaFoscari #Anthropology #Interdisciplinary #art

🏛️Historic meets cutting-edge: @SabinaLeonelli discussing the future of empirical inquiry & AI under the frescoes of Ca' Dolfin's Aula Magna. A perfect frame for @TIPS_unive exploring how to reimagine scientific research in the digital age. 📍 @CaFoscari #Research #AI

Check our new article by @raffaeta, Luciano Ferrari (@UvA_Amsterdam) and Lorenzo Beltrame (@UniTrento) on the dynamics of value production in microbiome research: encr.pw/1JwOb.

A new publication is out! Valeria Burgio and Roberta Raffaetà discussing the #visualization of the #microbiome here: acesse.dev/IUrBM on @Biosemiotics_J ✨

📷 Pics from our retreat in Sant'Antonio in Mavignola, in the wonderful framework of the Brenta Dolomites and the Adamello Alps, hosted with care and love by Pra de la Casa (pradelacasa.it), #adamellobrenta #pradelacasa #dolomitibrenta #microbiomestudies #researcherslife

Valeria Burgio presenting at the International Association for Semiotic Studies @UniWarszawski: how do strategies of topological organization of microbial species and strains enforce ontologies and visions of interspecies relationships? #microbiome #semiotic

#HappeningNow @raffaeta presenta 'Il lato selvatico dei valori' al #CoesistenzaFestival nella splendida cornice di Lundo, tra il Lago di Garda, le Dolomiti di Brenta e il Gruppo dell’Adamello. #dolomiti #uomonatura

Pic of our Valentina Marcheselli and @_victorsecco at the #EASST2024 at @UvA_Amsterdam: convening the panel on sampling practices as embedded and embodied science-in-the--making and knowledge #EASST4S2024

Pics from our 5-days retreat in Naples, kindly hosted by @d_giovannelli and its team (@ERC_Research). Sampling with them has been such a great fun. Enjoying food, beaches and wonderful landscapes, too! #naples #sampling #lablife #microbiomescience #geochemistry #microbiology

Lyle Fearnley (@sutdsg) presenting to the team on avian influenza, poultry markets, #zoonoses. What was the response of the Global Health agencies to manage risks and #spillovers? #H5N1 #medicalanthropology
