@MicrobialMeg @JohnRoqueIII Congratulations!! 🥂

Sharing some personal end of year news.. my partner @JohnRoqueIII became my husband at the end of November! We eloped at the courthouse and it was the best time. So grateful to have a partner in this world who is so kind and empathetic ❤️

It's U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week—antimicrobial resistance is a top public health threat and national security issue. ASM released policy recommendations to help combat the global crisis of AMR: asm.social/1Ac #USAAW23

Colleagues, The NIH Common Fund issued notices of funding opportunities for the Human Virome Program (HVP). The overall goal of the HVP is to characterize the human virome, including viruses with eukaryotic and prokaryotic hosts. 1/13

Join ASM’s webinar on July 21 at 12 p.m. ET for an engaging discussion of the global threat of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR), the challenges facing policymakers and potential solutions highlighted in our AMR policy paper. Register now: asm.social/1kI

The American Society for Microbiology has released its new policy paper on antimicrobial resistance (#AMR). The paper details recommendations and steps that, if taken together, can help combat the global threat of AMR. Read the full policy paper: asm.social/1kE

💡New @NSF solicitation: Conference Proposals on Clean Energy Topics (nsf23108) 💡#climatechange #microbialinnovation nsf.gov/pubs/2023/nsf2…

Thank you to our wonderful panel for a spirited discussion of #antimicrobialresistance at today’s Congressional briefing on the #microbiome! #ASMAdvocacy ⁦@ASMicrobiology⁩

Interested in guiding the future of research and science policy? @NSF is seeking advisory board recommendations: federalregister.gov/documents/2023…

Funding opportunity! nifa.usda.gov/grants/funding…

Are you a new faculty, researcher, or research administrator? Register to attend the NSF Virtual Grants Conference - June 5-8, 2023 beta.nsf.gov/events/nsf-vir…

Our team is growing! @ASMicrobiology is recruiting for a Senior Federal Affairs Officer recruiting.ultipro.com/AME1097AMESO/J…

@glagoudas @WHOSTP @ASMicrobiology Agreed! We’ll need a strong microbiology and bioinformatics workforce to get us there, plus coordination, data infrastructure and your continued leadership! Great examples of this work in motion include @MicrobiomeData @AG2PI @AgMicrobiomes @WIDiscovery and @All_Microbiomes

@aceindc @WHOSTP @ASMicrobiology How will we get there? What do you think is needed from ASM members and others to drive us to 1M genomes and understanding 80% of new genes? (I think the understanding is the hard part!)

Just released: the first set of deliverables from the @WHOSTP bioeconomy initiative! Cross-cutting goal 1.1: In 5 years, sequence the genomes of one million microbial species and understand the function of at least 80% of the newly discovered genes. @ASMicrobiology

“Once I woke up to #climatechange, I thought, ‘What can I as a microbiologist do?’” —@kristenobacter @UMassAmherst on @GlobalChangeBio work on #soil microbial activity, partly enabled by our @jgi Community Science Program. @doescience @BerkeleyLab umass.edu/news/article/o…

We seek feedback from @jgi users and the broader research community on specific technology and science directions you'd like to see us to emphasize - share your thoughts by Feb. 28 at jointgeno.me/2023StrategicP….

If you are in DC next week, join @WHOSTP and @USGCRP for two important in-person opportunities to inform the first ever National Nature Assessment: eventbrite.com/cc/nna-public-… 🧵

It's #WorldSoilDay! Take a moment to appreciate the ground under your feet. And consider sharing this call for nominations from @theNASEM on soil and human health.

Join #ASMAdvocacy on Thurs. Dec. 8 at 10 a.m. ET for a conversation with Dr. Michael Watson, Associate Administrator of USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), who has served at the agency in various roles since 2003. Register: asm.social/Wq

Today, #ASMAdvocacy is partnering with @All_Microbiomes to advocate on Capitol Hill! Learn more about why microbiome research is critical for human, animal and environmental health. asm.social/Wf #ASMHillDay
