Our hybrid format worked well as we were able to continue the discussion after the online component with the welcome addition of coffee and cake! Thanks so much to Sofie and Kamilla at @AIAS_dk for making the event a pleasure to organise!

Finally, @eben_kirksey zoomed in from Oxford to share his upcoming work on viral symbiosis which brought to an end a fascinating two days of discussion and dialogue.

Such a great group of people! Thanks to all who presented and attended across the two days!

Following a stimulating discussion amongst the invited speakers of our #MicrobialFutures, we are excited about the plans and outputs to come! Watch this space!

❓But what exactly did we get up to on day two?

[BIOSINQ - Center for Biosocial Inquiries @BiosocialFor]

@SallaSariola from @CSSMicrobes shared exciting work-in-progress insights on the intersectional ethical issues in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases exhibiting #AntimicrobialResistance through thinking of the layering and cascading nature of ‘queer vulnerabilities’.

Multidisciplinary dialogue at its finest! Looking forward to tomorrow!

Microbial futures has kicked off! Deputy Director @AIAS_dk Lotte Holm opened the event followed by a short welcome from Jens Seeberg 🎉

We ended the day with a sensuous description of the gendered toxicities of labour in the air pollution encountered in the home. @anthro_serene powerfully illustrated how environments are not neutral and air pollution pushes agency to the limit!
