#MicrobiomePTsummit Great panel discussion: after the microbiome hype, it’s time to move forward and truly deliver on its promises.
We already have strong example. Now it’s also time to regain investors’ trust.

Great talk by @jameskinross.bsky.social at #MicrobiomePTSummit.
Early-onset cancers are rising. we are missing a key piece: gut microbiome.
From birth to adulthood, we disrupt it: antibiotics, low-fiber diets, ultra-processed foods…
Are we shaping disease risk decades before it appears?
Impressive keynote from @jfcryan.bsky.social #MicrobiomePTsummit in Lisbon
From brain development to ageing and stress response…
our microbiota is involved at every step
Once again, he delivered a powerful vision of the gut–brain axis. @anasalmeida.bsky.social
Now Wendy Garrett at #GMFH2026 presenting 6 years of work showing how some dietary sulfur-containing amino acids can drive Mucispirillum expansion and initiate an immune cascade leading to CD8 T cell activation.
Beautiful mechanistic work. Always a Big fan of Garrett Lab @gmfhx.bsky.social
Another great talk : NSegata @cibiocm.bsky.social
at #GMFH2026: our gut microbiome is built from microbes around us the ones we eat (e.g. fermented foods), partners, pets, and our environment.
A reminder that microbiome interventions should consider these microbial inputs. @gmfhx.bsky.social
Now refreshing talk from @fasnicar.bsky.social at #GMFH2026 presenting data suggesting Blastocystis may be a marker of good diet and health. Higher abundance associates with better health. Quite thought-provoking given it’s often targeted for eradication in IBS or in FMT @gmfhx.bsky.social
Great talk by @jenswalter15.bsky.social at #GMFH2026 showing that fiber intake well beyond current recommendations (>35 g/day) could bring major health benefits. The real challenge? Adherence. The NiMe™ diet or fiber-fortified foods may help close the gap. @gmfhx.bsky.social
Eran Segal (remotely) at #GMFH2026 showcasing how deep phenotyping + AI foundation models can predict future health — and responses to interventions. Fascinating ! Paving the way for the future of digital / precision medicine. @GMFHx
Now @drharmstrong.bsky.social #GMFH2026 showing that purified fibers (beta-fructans) — or even high-fiber diets — may have negative effects in certain contexts (IBD, MS..), bc altered microbiomes ? Or purified fiber?
Another thought-provoking talk challenging old concepts. @gmfhx.bsky.social
Here goes Ciaran Corde at #GMFH2026 on ultra-processed foods.
His work suggests that eating rate (fast vs.slow) and energy density may confound associations often attributed to UPFs. Interestingly, no impact of UPFs on the gut microbiome was observed. thought-provoking @gmfhx.bsky.social
First keynote at #GMFH2026 by Lawrence David. Great talk showing how DNA analysis of stool can reveal dietary patterns — even distinguishing differences across countries and wastewater!
A glimpse into the future of nutrition epidemiology? 🧬💩 @gmfhx.bsky.social
Who will be there? Happy to catch up with you there!
🧬 What if #gutmicrobiome research could be told as a thriller?
In Mission: Microbiome, Dr. @patrickveiga.bsky.social blends science & fiction to explore how microbes shape our health — and our future.

How do we popularize science — and gut microbiome science in particular?

The French Gut team laced up… and our microbiome loved it! 🏃♀️🦠
10K of good vibes, Paris landmarks… and happy gut bacteria 😄
Huge thanks to @MgpsLab & the whole team for the top-notch organization! @inrae
Thrilled to share our latest review on how the gut microbiome connects diet to health, now published in Nature Reviews Gastro & Hepa! Honored to co-sign this piece with outstanding PIs @eranelinav.bsky.social @jfcryan.bsky.social Yolanda Sanz Mélanie Deschasaux Rebekka Lambrecht rdcu.be/epret

This is exactly why I wrote this book:
To bring science out of the lab and into people’s hands.
To show how the gut microbiome is already changing medicine and nutrition — and why it matters.

🚏 “I missed my bus stop — I was too immersed in the story!”
📚 “I read it in one go, couldn’t stop. When’s the next one coming?”
🧠 “I learned more about the microbiome than in any article — without realizing it.”
1/ Some early feedback on Mission: Microbiome – Metchnikoff’s Legacy (English edition just launched!)
I’m so grateful for the messages and reactions — here are a few that truly made my day:
It’s out!
My first novel Mission: Microbiome — Metchnikoff’s Legacy - where science meets suspense — is now available in English!
Hoping it gets as warm a welcome as the French version.
Available worldwide on Amazon : Missionmicrobiome.com (thread 1/4)
Thanks for the opportunity to talk about the French Gut! I was lucky to be on holiday in Japan — which meant I could catch the Pacific Time Q&A session! If you have any questions, feel free to DM me — happy to chat more!
Will be presenting Le French Gut project tomorrow and the day after ! See you there !
Glad & honored to contribute !
An updated list with those added who wanted to join go.bsky.app/VVLoMPx
Thanks Ruairi ! And thanks for putting together this starting package !
Thanks ! I’ll track the tag !
Thanks Muriel ! I didn’t know such things existed !
Just landed here from Twitter/X! 🚀 Time to rebuild my followers/following list. If u’re into microbiome science like me, let’s connect and grow a refreshed community!
🔁 Please RT & ❤️ this post so we can gather all the microbiome enthusiasts and scientists in one place. #MicrobiomeScience #Networking
