The European Academy of Microbiology (EAM) held a meeting of fellows from 5 to 6 April at Parador de La Granja (Spain). 'The opportunity was used to hear from new fellows and rising stars in microbiology. Attendees actively engaged in creating a shared vision for microLife, the open access journal of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) supported by the members of the Academy, while hearing directly from Editor-in-Chief, Carmen Buchrieser. The event brought together 56 fellows from 20 countries including Jorg Vogel, EAM President, and representatives from the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS), including Antonio Ventosa, FEMS president, and Elise Kuurstra, Executive Director.

The current #WorldImmunizationWeek aims to highlight that we all need to work together to protect people from vaccine-preventable diseases 💚 One way is to learn with computational models how vaccination strategies impact epidemic spreads, as explained on the #FEMSmicroBlog.

Unleash collaboration and connect minds by organising your next conference 📣 Since collaboration is key to tackling today's challenges, with your own conference you can help microbiologists from different fields connect and start new projects together. Apply for our Meeting Organizer Grant to foster collaboration and spark meaningful discussions.

Join us in our latest #MicrobesAndUs podcast episode as we explore the groundbreaking Genome-scale metabolic model for C. auris with #FEMSYeastRes Article Award winners from 2023, Romeu Viana & Miguel Cacho Teixeira. https://lnkd.in/e3F8Pfrx

This year’s theme for #EarthDay2024 is “Planet vs Plastic” pushing for everyone’s commitment to end plastic for the health of humans and the planet 💚 A great reminder that some cold-adapted microbes are efficient plastic degraders and might be the key to a healthier environment.

Successful first digital spring meeting of the #Norwegian Society for #Microbiology yesterday. Good attendance and great platform for #earlycareerscientists in #Norway to present their work. Fabulous and inspirational keynote speakers! Christine Moissl-Eichinger from the Medical University of Graz, #Austria who spoke about the #human #archaeome and nathalie sauvonnet from Institut Pasteur in #France who spoke about #gutonachip, #pathogens, and mechanical forces. Early career talks by Pawel Lycus from NMBU - Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Andrea Söllinger from UiT- The Arctic University of Norway, and Ekaterina Avershina from Universitetet i Oslo. https://lnkd.in/dhpbD-nN

🌿 Embracing Nature’s Wisdom: A Paradigm Shift for a Thriving World 🌎 Are we truly pioneers, or merely rediscovering ancient truths? Nature, our timeless mentor, has perfected sustainability over eons. Its secret? Cycles! 🔄 Why have we turned a blind eye?  Nature’s Blueprint: Our planet thrives because it follows nature’s blueprint. From the tiniest microorganisms to grand ecosystems, everything operates in harmonious cycles. The Painful Awakening: Now, as we grapple with environmental crises, we’re forced to reintegrate these ancient rhythms into our daily lives. It’s like relearning a forgotten language. Our understanding of the grand cycles has still many gaps, though. Federation of European Microbiological Societies published in #FEMSMicrobiolLett a thematic issue about new insights into the nitrogen cycle. Getting a grip on how our invisible planet mates drive our home is more important than ever for our own #GreenTransition #NatureKnowsBest #SustainableLiving #CircularEconomy #NitrogenCycle #Microbiology

We have just published 'New Insights on the Nitrogen Cycle 2024' 🌍 🔃 🌱 Access here: https://lnkd.in/eBQimUAd This thematic issue is made in collaboration between #FEMSMicrobiolLett and the 26th European Nitrogen Cycle Meeting, held in Norway during 12-15 September 2023. This issue focusses on the most relevant pathways of the bacterial nitrogen cycle pathways, including denitrification, nitrification, dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia, anaerobic ammonium oxidation, nitrate assimilation and nitrogen fixation.
