Understanding microbes in foods and guts is my passion. Proud mama with a love for backpacking and fermentation. Views expressed are completely my own.

T-minus 4 hours and counting!

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

[Wannes Van Beeck @vanbeeckw]

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.

[Paul Cotter @pauldcotter]

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. https://t.co/8nWzwFcTwn

[ISAPP-SFA @ISAPPSFA]

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 https://t.co/n0Tu8g59F5

@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

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.

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 https://t.co/7RVLgFqOUj #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) https://t.co/31u1ZspIyE

[UC Santa Cruz @ucsc]

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.
