Looking forward to some exciting microbiome virtual events in 2021!

Here's a thread of some good ones coming up. Feel free to add your own...

EVENT: Keystone Symposium, January 18-20
The Microbiome: From Mother to Child
keysym.us/VKSMaternalMic…
#VKSMaternalMicrobiome21 #eSymposia
Abstract submissions are still open (until Jan. 7th)!

And although this @KeystoneSymp event has a registration fee, I've been told that because of Gatest Foundation funding, virtually all students & fellows are eligible for free registration if they apply here first:

EVENT: Mind, Mood & Microbes Expert Q&A: From mechanisms to clinical applications
January 21

Free event giving an overview of current research on the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

Requires sign-up:
mindmoodmicrobes.org/mmm-expert-qa
#GutBrainSci

You can ask these experts questions via Twitter (#gutbrainsci) or via the webinar platform! I'm moderating and it will be very very early in my timezone, so go easy😆

The International Human Microbiome Consortium event @IHMC2021 is scheduled to happen in person in Barcelona, June 27-29, which seems slightly optimistic, especially given that many of the speakers come from North America... but who knows??

EVENT: Re-shaping the microbiome through nutrition
November 17-19

This @nature event was originally scheduled for last October but it's been rescheduled as a virtual event for 2021.

EVENT:
Agriculture & Health Summit: Cultivating Gut Health at the Crossroads of Food & Medicine

This will be a really cool event that covers microbiome-focused interventions all the way from agricultural practices to foods & drugs. 🙌

(Registration not yet open but you can sign up for email updates...)
#AghealthSummit

EVENT:
World Microbe Forum
June 20-24, 2021

Looks like this will be a MASSIVE virtual event, with @ASMicrobiology & @FEMSmicro combining their annual conferences into one big microbepalooza. Fees will apply. Registration to open soon.

EVENT:
Radical and Relational Approaches to Fermentation and Food Sovereignty
Starting Jan 28th
radicalfermentation.ucdavis.edu

This one's focused less on microbiome research per se & more on "foregrounding Indigenous perspectives on foods & microorganisms" for better science.
