“Microbiome and gut health” (2025)
You’re never alone, there’s a world within you
Would you believe that tiny organisms inside your body influence how well you sleep, the state of your mental health, your immunity, and even your overall physical well-being?
No, we’re not talking about miniature aliens sitting in you and orchestrating your life like a sci-fi thriller — this isn’t Men in Black! Instead, we’re referring to the bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes that call your body home.
Discover the world within you.
Trust your gut, your health depends on it
From the moment we are born, our bodies become a prime destination for an incredible variety of microbes.
These tiny life forms — bacteria, fungi, and viruses — begin colonizing us right away, starting with the process of us being born, followed by skin contact through our mother’s touch, just as mother’s milk is introduced into our system.
Discover how this early microbial exposure plays a crucial role in shaping our immune system, influencing our health and development throughout our lives.
Issue #7: “Biosolutions in textile production” (2024)
How biology can make textile production more sustainable
Have you ever thought about how your clothes could be impacting the environment? The jeans you live in, the hoodie that’s your go-to, even that suit you wear to work – many of them start with natural fibers like cotton. But despite the natural origin, harsh chemicals are deeply embedded in the textile industry's value chain from the very start of the process through to the finished product.
Learn how biology can make textile production more sustainable.
Issue #6: “Microbial power in agriculture” (2024)
Making the soil work to feed 10 billion by 2050
The global population is projected to hit 10 billion by 2050, posing a critical challenge: how can we produce enough food sustainably? Climate change further complicates this issue, but bacteria and fungi are enhancing agricultural practices, making them more eco-friendly and increasing crop yields.
Soil’s secret helpers: harnessing microbial power in agriculture
Imagine you’re visiting a carrot farm. Your friend, the farmer, hands you a freshly pulled carrot. Would you eat it without washing it? Probably not! The rhizosphere—the space around plant roots—can contain up to one billion bacteria per gram of soil. This region also includes nematodes, fungi, algae, viruses, and parasites.
