@MicrobialMeg @JohnRoqueIII Congratulations!! 🥂

[ASM @ASMicrobiology]

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: https://t.co/Guh8I3qsw6 #USAAW23

[Microbiome Centers Consortium @All_Microbiomes]

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

@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

[Amalia @aceindc]

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
