We’re excited to launch 'The Microbiologist: Under the Lens', a brand-new video series from #TheMicrobiologist magazine and AMI 🎬

In Episode 1, Professor Raquel Peixoto - Chair of the Marine Science Program / Associate Professor at @KAUST_News and winner of AMI’s inaugural Rachel Carson Prize - joins Professor Jack Gilbert, President of AMI for a deep dive into coral reefs, microbes, and the future of our planet.

Discover how beneficial microorganisms can build coral reef resilience, the lessons from COVID-era strategies, and what it really takes to bridge the gap between research and impact.
