Urge mayor cultura científica en la población, no cabe duda. No son capaces de distinguir entre las responsabilidades de unos y otros; y eso en parte es responsabilidad de nosotros los científicos. Debemos de involucrarnos mas activamente en la alfabetización científica social.
Intense farming weighs heavily on soil quality! 🌱 Meet arbuscular mycorrhizal #fungi (AMF)🍄, plant symbionts that help plants acquire nutrients. Rog et al. explore which soils benefit most from AMF in #FEMSMicrobiolLett. buff.ly/tblsBb1
🤔 How can Europe tackle the plastic waste challenge with #biobased innovation? Find out in the brand new Bioplastics & Recycling Cluster Talks, a series of online events organised by CBE JU-funded projects ReBioCycle, MoeBIOS and Prosper Bioplastics: eventbrite.com/cc/bioplastics…
Crops do not always grow in an ideal environment and may face external conditions that negatively affect them, both physiologically and metabolically.
Can tiny life forms heal the whole planet? The Solutions Lab is happening right now is bringing together experts to collaborate on innovative approaches to shape solutions for a thriving planet. #FEMS2025 #FEMSMICRO
Extremophiles are widespread in the biosphere, bioprospecting efforts can be carried out in non-conventional habitats that are more accessible than recognized habitats such as the Antartica. @FEMSmicro @DarwinBioprosp
Applications for extremophiles do not have be necessarily confined to the industrial setting, it may also be for environmental settings where low-tech applications may find a way based on the existing body of scientific knowledge. @DarwinBioprosp @FEMSmicro
Really happy to be at the kick-off of this session on upcycling with extremomophiles: biotechnological advances for a sustainable future. Looking forward to the discussion. @FEMSmicro @cimab_uacam




Quite interesting talks, but unfortunately, happening in simultaneous sessions. Should I flip a coin? @cimab_uacam @FEMSmicro


Studying microbial degradation of plastics requires holistic approaches and interdisciplinary teams (polymer scientists and microbiologists), and bearing in mind that is addition of the basic building blocks, additives are also present. Excellent assembly of experienced…

Wonderful, a shame I missed it. #biofilms #FEMSMICRO #FEMS2025 #bioreceptivity @FEMSmicro @cimab_uacam
Exciting things are happening at FEMS MICRO Milan. BioDesign is transforming design education by using microbes as sculpting tools and living paint. Participants used pond water from the Triennale’s environment to create materials like ceramics, wood, and textiles. How cool!
Great start of FEMS2025, newcomers session, opening plenaries and keynote lecture. Nice venue. @cimab_uacam @FEMSmicro




Los músculos activos liberan mioquinas que se comunican con la #microbiota intestinal 🦠, promoviendo una mayor diversidad microbiana, un metabolismo saludable ⚡ y protección frente a enfermedades, lo que mejora la inmunidad 🛡️ y la salud intestinal 🧬 🆓 ow.ly/J29950WlNWF
Ethiopian foods like injera and beverages like teh are not only a delicacy for the palate, but also a great source of beneficial probiotic microorganisms. frontiersin.org/journals/micro…
Los “maestros” del CNTE acaban de agredirme en el aeropuerto de la CDMX y me robaron mi maletín. Soy sordo, uso aparatos auditivos. Me los quitaron y me gritaban entre empujones “es por la ocho”. ¿Eso resolvió alguno de sus reclamos? NO. Nunca les importó la educación ni…
El 4 de abril se presentó el programa Cosechando Soberanía de la SADER del Gobierno Federal. En este los municipios pueden jugar un papel preponderante en su ejecución, consideran @OttoOrtegaM, @OscarLopezChan y @camachojc19 en #DePuñoYLetra alcaldesdemexico.com/de-puno-y-letr…
#Agroforestry is key to restoring degraded land while enhancing livelihoods. A recent policy dialogue in Dili, Timor-Leste, brought together government, NGOs and communities to drive action on sustainable forest and land management. Learn more: ⤵️ forestsnews.cifor.org/90670/agrofore…
Felicidades a la Dra Carmen Rodriguez Armenta, @carmen_ta reconocimiento de nuestra universidad y nuestro rector. Justo reconocimiento a su trayectoria y compromiso con la educación superior. @cimab_uacam
