In the second part of her interview, @andreaprinzi.bsky.social talks about how the March of Dimes played such a significant role against #polio and how its oral vaccine is a singular lesson that can be applied to science as a whole and the need to adapt to changing circumstances. #IDsky #Medsky

Why Are We Building a Phage Biobank? — ThePhageCollectionProject As many of you probably know by now, we’ve been busy searching for new bacteriophages from samples sent by citizens. With each sample you provide whether from puddle or lake, we are isolating pha...

This month, Ana Zyumbyuleva has written a piece for our Phage Collection Project Blog all about the importance of developing phage biobanks! 🥼

I found a bacteria-eating virus in my loo - could it save your life?

I have ordered my kit! #IDSky #MicroSky 🦠🔬💉🧫 @phagecollection.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org

Publish in Society Journals 🧪🦠🧬

Also I recently published in Microbial Genomics and it was a great process - fast, reasonable/fair reviews, quick formatting and processing after acceptance.

CDC Experts Make the Case for Maternal COVID Vaccination Data presented during ACIP meeting highly suggestive of benefit for mothers, babies

yes.... if there was any silver lining to today's meeting it is that vaccination during pregnancy is evidence based, and protects pregnant people and their newborns.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Propionibacterium (Cutibacterium) acnes, a major bacterial member of the human skin microbiome requires anaerobic conditions for optimal isolation/growth from samples. 🦠🧫🔬💉🧪
Sometimes also a shock for people studying the skin microbiome

Annual Conference 2025 31 March - 03 April 2025

At #Microbio25 join us for the 'The potential of AI for microbiology' session. A panel will discuss addressing opportunities, challenges, and validation standards in AI-driven research. Registration is still open -

Scientific publishing should evolve with science itself. That’s why we’re launching something new—designed for the microbiology community. Join us on 31 March at #Microbio25 as we reveal what’s coming next to our portfolio.

I had two grant proposals up for review in the NIH Bacterial Virulence (BV) study section. It was canceled without notice this morning.
Without those grants, my lab must close within a year.
