The microbiome digest team, Juan Pablo Cardenas Astudillo, Axel Künstner and Svetlana Ugarcina Perovic (it’s me), wishes you happy and healthy 2024! Also, we wish to have more members in our team in order to cover all daily microbiome science news: if you are interested in reviewing microbiome papers at your convenience (with our support!) and digest them for the community, feel free to contact us. We are happy to welcome you!
And, yes, see you at MVIF #25!
