T-minus 4 hours and counting!

I’m excited to be participating in this unique event!

Excited for the start of #fermentation2022 with opening talk by Karen Wang Diggs @ChouAmiFerments on medicinal plants and fermentation. Looking forward to three days of fermented food talks!

@FermentAssoc So sorry to be missing The Fermentation Association conference starting today in Chicago. It’s bound to be the go-to meeting for the science and business of all things fermented!

After that inspiring first session #ISME18, I’m even more excited for our session tomorrow on food microbial ecology with @pauldcotter, Nick Bokulich, Marie-Christine Champomier-Verges, and many more.

Looking forward to presenting at what promises to be a great session put together by @MariaLMarco and Marie-Christine Champomier-Verges @teagasc @TeagascFood @Pharmabiotic @VistaMilk @fhi_tweets @MASTER_IA_H2020 @FrontMicrobiol

My warm-up to #ISME18! Ready to take these panoramic views to a microbial level.

Interested in antimicrobial peptides and bacteriocins? Here you have a complete set of protocols useful bacteriocin works. Thanks to Ulm and NTNU for a nice collaboration, in the EU project Ifermenter. bio-protocol.org/e4477

Amazing talk by @MariaLMarco on how certain probiotics can generate electricity! 🦠 ⚡️ #ISAPP2022

Congrats to Glory Bui on winning a ISAPP SFA poster award @ISAPPscience @ISAPPSFA! She has done an amazing job studying how Lcasei modulates intestinal epithelial cells through secreted compounds made during growth in milk.

Half way home from @ISAPPscience. No work-related travel from now until @ISME_microbes in August. Looking forward to an exciting session there, convened by @MariaLMarco and Marie Christine isme18.isme-microbes.org/microbial-ecol…

@pauldcotter @ISAPPscience @ISME_microbes Can’t wait to see you again in Switzerland. From the mountains to the sea - thankful for those special microbes we study!

Our new pub shows how lactic acid bacteria reduce their extracellular environment by blending #fermentation and respiration. This ability for extracellular electron transfer expands how we can apply LAB in #foods and as #probiotics doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Our latest pub shows what happens when resistant starch and whole grains are combined in a diet. Metatranscriptomes reveal an overwhelming effect of the resistant starch on gut microbiome stress-response and carbohydrate metabolism pathways. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Read our new perspective article on why it is important to have microbiological research that considers geo-socio-cultural contexts in which Inuit fermented foods are made oaepublish.com/mrr/article/vi… #GutHealth #FermentedFoods #microbiology

My latest blog explains why microbes in fermented foods are not the same as microbes we call probiotics. Do fermented foods contain probiotics? - International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) isappscience.org/do-fermented-f…

Winter Quarter Update (1/7): With the rapid rise nationwide in the number of COVID-19 infections caused by the Omicron variant and the likelihood that holiday gatherings will only further increase infections, UC campuses are implementing additional mitigations.

So happy to be finally celebrating our 2020 graduates in person. Congrats to Annabelle on her PhD!
