🔜 Starting next week we’ll regularly be sharing exciting updates on what’s ahead, including ways you can continue to be part of this growing community.
🌊 We're still riding the momentum of the conversations, collaborations, and shared vision that emerged, and doing A LOT of work on the backend to compile and distill all the new information, ideas, and shared visions generated during this intensive 4-day forum.
She also played a key role in bringing together a geographically and academically diverse group of stakeholders for the forum and its supporting committees.
Please join us in congratulating the Forum's Organizing Committee for facilitating such and dynamic and undoubtably successful landmark event.
At the center of this work has been Fenna Sillé, Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University. She spent many days pouring energy and enthusiasm into making this extremely hands-on event a reality.
Let's hear it for the #ExposomeMoonshotForum Organizing Committee! This effort would not have been possible without their dedication and constant commitment.
Sir Peter Gluckman, President of the International Science Council (ISC), shared remarks remotely, charging attendees with the challenging but increasingly necessary work of combining efforts and facilitating international collaboration. 🕸️
And after all that - we celebrated! 🍾
Gary W. Miller introduced us, in more detail, to the scope of this effort and this field's founder, Chris Wild, with a few words he penned to motivate and acknowledge those invested in moving the exposome to a new phase. 🖌️
Launch day recap! 🚀
Thomas Hartung started off with a #ExposomeMoonshot rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon" and followed with a multi-slide ode to the exposome and Pink Floyd (you had to be there). 🌓

Thank you to our fantastic panel of experts for joining and engaging attendees in an insightful discussion on policy and exposome integrations:
Some key messages:
🌍 The Global South must be brought on board and involved from day one
🕰️ To engage policy-makers engage the public early and often
🪡 Be strategic about which facets of this project you emphasize when pitching potential stakeholders
#Exposome Organizing Committee Member Thomas Hartung concludes the second panel of day two - "From the Lab to the Law: Moving the #HumanExposomeProject into the Policy-Maker's Eye".
Attending to the Exposome Moonshot Forum. After >10 years working in the field, 7 publications, and several research projects, this event is historic. My 3 contributions: -Digital component of the exposome, -concept of expotype, - exposoma data and clinical records. @exposomemoonshot.bsky.social
Over the next three days, the #ExposomeMoonshotForum will aim to answer that question. That answer will include real, actionable and, where possible, immediate interventions that can provide a foundation and framework for the boldest vision possible. 🔭
#ExposomeAstronaut Rick Woychik takes the stage! 👏
And has already asked attendees "what's the bold vision [for the exposome]?" 💥
Join us this week and next to hear from the remarkable #ExposomeAstronauts helping us prepare for launch.
We'll be asking questions like "what perspective do you think is missing from the current conversation on exposomics?"; "what new technology do you think is most important to advance exposomics?"; "where do you think industry investment is most crucial?". 🤔
And during the event, you'll get to hear from "astronauts" on the ground (forum attendees) with short, recorded interviews shared right here. 📽️
We'll start by introducing you to some big names on board who have generously and enthusiastically offered their endorsement. See below! 👇
Welcome to our new series #ExposomeAstronauts. A campaign dedicated to celebrating the industry leaders, visionaries, and policy pros who have signed on to the success of this moonshot. 🌓
Metabolon is proud to join @exposomemoonshot.bsky.social to explore how environmental exposure shapes health. By decoding the exposome, #exposomics can link exposure to environmental illness, drive innovation, and enable chronic disease prevention while shaping public health policies.
