And then we got creative, the children colored a fantastic bacteria sheet from the American Museum of Natural History’s Microbes Coloring Book: www.amnh.org/explore/olog...
I’m happy to have opened a small door into science for these children.

I had the joy of giving a kindergarten workshop: “Bacteria in and around us!” 🦠✨
To spark their imagination and start our discussion, I showed them the beautiful @contamclub.bsky.social 2026 calendar, full of vividly colored and uniquely shaped bacterial colonies.

I'm very honored to have been selected to join 75 Nobel Laureates and 600 Young Scientists for the 75th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting #LINO75! Huge thanks to the @ec.europa.eu's #MSCA for the nomination and to the great team at @cibiocm.bsky.social lab for supporting me along my journey!
Have you listened to the #MVIFconversations podcast?
There is a new episode where @cpavloud.bsky.social and I talked to @merenbey.bsky.social about open source, mentoring, and believe me it's a GREAAAT one!!
Today at #MBTL2026 during Session 13: Computational, Integrative and AI Tools for Meta-Omics
🦠 Riccardo Vanini will talk about the gut microbial proteases in inflammatory bowel disease
🤝 Nicola Segata will give a keynote on human-to-human microbiome transmission
#metagenomics #MicrobiomeToLife
Tomorrow at #MBTL2026 do not miss Session 13 COMPUTATIONAL, INTEGRATIVE AND AI TOOLS FOR META-OMICS and a keynote lecture!
#MicrobiomeToLife
Now @livi-ricci.bsky.social presenting the microTOUCH-baby study (doi.org/10.1038/s415...) at the #MicrobiomeToLife @cibiocm.bsky.social
New #MicrobiomeDigest is OUT: microbiomedigest.com/2026/03/20/m...
- gut, nasal, respiratory tract microbiome and more
- rhizosphere / @luederslab.bsky.social
- invitation for the next week @microbiomevif.bsky.social
AND listen to the new #MVIFconversations episode!
biobakery workshop
Best way to start #MicrobiomeToLife: a packed #biobakery workshop led by Aitor Blanco-Míguez (#prebiomics)!
Looking forward to the next sessions!

Join #MVIF 47 cassyni.com/s/mvif-47
and #MeetTheSpeakers
We are delighted to welcome Lindsay Hall (@halllab.bsky.social) as a keynote speaker, who will discuss early life microbiome dynamics!
Today at #MicrobiomeToLife
Session 1: THE MICROBIOME FROM PREGNANCY TO EARLY LIFE
🍼 @livi-ricci.bsky.social's talk on microbial strain transmission between infants
Session 3: MICROBIOME, AGING AND DISEASE
🥗 @fasnicar.bsky.social's talk on gut microbiome associations w/diet & cardiometabolic health
There are no single dietary intervention that works for two identical twins
Nicola segata acknowledges the multiple variables beyond microbiome accounting for that @cibiocm.bsky.social
#GMFH2026
Dietary interventions in different cohorts showed consistent microbial signatures
Nicola Segata @cibiocm.bsky.social #GMFH2026
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
March 21, Session 13:
🎤 Nicola Segata will give a keynote on human-to-human microbiome transmission: from research to clinical applications

Reflections on MVIF #46 (Feb. 9-11)
We brought together researchers across continents for an inspiring exploration of microbiome science. Whether joining from the Atlantic (ATL) or Pacific (PAC) regions, our community connected to advance knowledge that transcends borders.
