ISCB SC RSG-Nigeria Webinar - Open Source in Practice: A Microbiome Scientist's Perspective · Luma ISCB SC RSG-Nigeria is excited to host an open-source in practice webinar. The session is beginner-friendly and focused on getting the right tools and insights…

Today I'll be sharing my perspective on open source in microbiome science w/focus on the data resources & community efforts.

This talk is presented under the ☂️ of three communities I'm deeply connected to @cibiocm.bsky.social @microbiomevif.bsky.social @bioconductor.bsky.social

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.

So thrilled to share episode 2 of #MVIFconversations with you all!

Getting to sit down with @bykriscampbell.bsky.social was such a privilege! If you're curious about where microbiome science is headed and why rigorous science communication matters more than ever, this one's for you.

Was an absolute joy and honour to have the incomparable @cibiocm.bsky.social give our inaugural School seminar today. Tour de force of microbiome research talk.

Nicole Dubilier is standing in front of her opening slides that says 'Eating your microbiome: nutritional symbioses between chemosynthetic bacteria and marine invertebrates'

Excellent line-up for microbiology/microbiome speakers in Birmingham this week.

Yesterday we hosted @cibiocm.bsky.social, presenting his stunning work on the human microbiome, and today's @imibirmingham.bsky.social Harry Smith lecture by Nicole Dubilier

Diet as a major actor in shaping the microbiome

The first plenary session at #GMFH2026 will feature expert talks from Ciarán Forde, @drharmstrong.bsky.social and Eran Segal, with Nicola Segata @cibiocm.bsky.social as session moderator.

Every parent who has had or has kids in nursery becomes all too quickly aware of how the kids share their viruses. Now data shows how the gut microbiome is also shaped by the nursery environment especially parents and the other kids 🧪

Sending babies to nursery completely reshapes their microbiomes Socializing at a young age helps to develop greater diversity in children’s microbiota, according to an analysis of baby-to-baby transmission of gut bacteria.

🧪 Sending babies to nursery completely reshapes their microbiomes.
Infants attending nursery share 15-20% of microbial species with peers after four months. This peer transmission exceeds family contributions, indicating social interaction drives gut diversity. 🧬💻

A few months at nursery gives a roughly 1-year-old baby more new microbes for its gut microbiome than it has acquired in its WHOLE LIFE up until that point from its family. 🤯

“Maybe in 20 years, we will find that people still need to thank their friends at day care for the microbes they got when they were there” Nicola Segata says.
