The #TMHMS25 has just wrapped up!
It’s been four amazing days of stimulating discussions and sharing our science in a wonderfully relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
There was a truly genuine sense of community among all participants, which I really cherish.
Cheers, to the next one! 🌊

This research shows that a novel therapy for cystic fibrosis that is not an antibiotic alters the lung microbiome structure and functions due to its effects on shifting microbial niche spaces.

Bacteria in hot springs can move against fast water flow without flagella. Instead, they use pili like grappling hooks to crawl upstream, revealing a surprising survival strategy in extreme environments.
