🎉 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: https://t.co/yeBFeq25Ei. @trec#CitizenScience#Anthropology#CitizenScience
🎉 New paper out in @mSystemsJ "Race by other names: https://t.co/BkFeNE5GtQ. 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: https://t.co/IzXrfhbrCy #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.

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: https://t.co/7AydFyFDim #BiodiversityEducation#WinterSchool#Venice
Antarctic-OME, our twin project, is investigating microbial transmission in extreme environments through an interdisciplinary lens, follow the project on FB: https://t.co/h8NVKkvQij #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.
