We're wrapping up Black In Microbiology Week 2025 with immense gratitude for our dedicated volunteers. 🙌 Working together has been an incredible journey advancing microbiology. 🌟 Keep shining. We couldn't have done it without you!
A promotional image for "Black in Microbiology Week 2025" featuring volunteers. The image has a black background with scientific illustrations of microorganisms. At the top, a blue banner reads "BLACK IN MICROBIOLOGY WEEK 2025 VOLUNTEERS." Below, thirteen individual headshots are arranged in hexagonal frames forming a honeycomb pattern. At the bottom center, a logo says "BLACK IN MICRO WEEK 2025" with the dates "October 12–16" and hashtags "#HARMONY" and "#BIMWeek2025."
