How can early-career researchers communicate complex microbiome research in just three minutes?
On 6 July, 2026, the SFSN Microbiome Community Get-Together provided a platform for 9 PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and other early-career professionals to present their research through three-minute pitches, followed by audience discussion and voting.
The session showcased the diversity of microbiome research across sustainable food systems, with presentations covering:
🌱 Sustainable prebiotics derived from underutilised plant resources and their potential to support the gut microbiome and food consumption.
🥬 Fermented foods and their relevance to food systems and human health.
🦠 Plant health and microbiome interactions.
🐮 Animal feed innovation.
👩🔬 The human microbiome and health.
The event highlighted the importance of creating opportunities for early-career researchers to strengthen science communication skills, exchange knowledge across disciplines, and build connections with researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and science communicators active in the microbiome field.
Congratulations to all participants, with a special mention to PhD researcher Anastasija Jušković from the AIT team, for representing Microbiomes4Soy. Microbiomes4Soy is pleased to see initiatives that empower early-career researchers to communicate impactful microbiome research and foster collaboration across the scientific community.
The SFSN Microbiome Community continues to support collaboration and knowledge exchange across the wider microbiome community, fostering dialogue on research and innovation relevant to sustainable food systems.
