Congratulations @cbuch.bsky.social ! 👏

FEMS MICRO Milan 2025 is off to a great start with Prof. Carmen Buchrieser presenting her keynote on Legionella pneumophila and the fascinating ways this pathogen mimics eukaryotic cells.

What an inspiring first day at FEMS MICRO Milan! We heard from FEMS Pres. Antonio Ventosa at the Opening while former Pres. Hilary Lappin-Scott helped connect new attendees. Thanks to keynotes Profs. Carmen Buchrieser and Gian Rossolini for sharing their expertise. #FEMS2025

One of the most controversial sessions of the @femsmicro.org Congress—run by Malick Gibani—deals with the so-called *Human challenge studies* of pathogens ie deliberate inoculation of human subjects with virulent agents. The benefits are clear but … is informed consent enough 🤔?

Four leading researchers on bacterial computing in the @femsmicro.org Workshop on the the topic during the Congress—quite amazing talks by @angelgm.bsky.social, Yolanda Schaerli, Manish Kushwaha & Samgram Bagh. Do bacteria compute? Can we make them to compute wth our logic or do they have their own?

At my 1st @femsmicro.org congress (in Milan!) - it's a fantastic meeting. I co-chaired a superb session on Microbial Dark Matter with @jlewillett.bsky.social, who also kicked off the session with a talk on her lab's work. 🤩 We also heard from my FEMS Microbes co-EIC Kathleen Scott! 💪🏽 #FEMS2025

Delighted to have contributed to this fascinating paper led by Prof. Timmis on how helpful microbes can be for humanity at different scales! "The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves". -John Connor (Terminator)

Thrilled that our latest paper showing that DCs undergo either pyroptosis or apoptosis upon bacterial blockade of host translation to restrict Legionella is now online at the @asm.org journal mBio! Congrats to 1st author @vvazquez.bsky.social & co-authors! 🎉 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
