Imagine your NIH T32 graduate fellowship beginning with professional skills and career advice from Dr. Erika Ganda. You do not have to go through five years of challenges and opportunities. You get that wisdom right here through @PSUmBiome and its new training grant for PhD'ers.

🚨 Big win for the OHMC @penn_state! We’ve been awarded a $2.6M NIH T32 to launch BIOMS — the first predoctoral training program in microbiome science + biotech. Read more: https://t.co/ZQl81Pgsz2

Auja Bywater is a PhD student in the Kovac Lab, studying environmental and agricultural microbiomes, with a focus on the microbes in food production – and their ability to develop resistance and adapt to their environments. #WorldMicrobiomeDay

Thrilled about our paper with @polonca_s E. Stare, @AndreaFloccari, I. MandicMulec @UL_BioTech 🇸🇮, in collab @Mikael_lenz @cemist_dtu 🇩🇰, @EvolvedBiofilm @LeidenBiology 🇳🇱, @ulisses_rocha @UFZ_de 🇩🇪 , R. Hertel & @kovac_lab 🇺🇸. Global&local Bacillus prophages🔊@ERC_Research

🔬 Research by @kovac_lab identifies Pseudomonadaceae as a key player in biofilms shielding #Listeria from sanitizers in food processing facilities. Good news: A #biofilm remover effectively reduced Listeria! 🚫🦠 #FoodSafety #Microbiology https://t.co/obAbGwdhSO

An opportunity of a life time - getting to talk about my favorite things, microbes 😊, to Penn State’s President. What an honor and unforgettable experience🧫👩🏻‍🔬 #MicrobiomeScience #Sourdough #PennState #Research

Our Center has been awarded the 2024 WH Pierce Global Impact in Microbiology Prize from @AMIposts! 🌏 🏆 Thank you to every member of our community for your contributions and scholarship–spanning #research, #education, #art, and #outreach. Article -> https://t.co/W0aVPpgyfC

President Bendapudi @penn_state recently visited our Center to learn more about the Microbiome Sciences and the expanding impact the OHMC is having on the field. 🦠🔬💪 Read about her experience here -> https://t.co/bVlqoVcPTq

How does considering genetic diversity of Bacillus cereus strains enhance exposure assessments in HTST pasteurized milk? Find out in a #JournalofDairyScience study from a @CornellCALS, @agsciences, @foodsafetyprof & @kovac_lab: https://t.co/JsOUzYH6fN #DairyScience #SocietyPubs

Congratulations to our MS student Amelia Navarre for the 2nd place award in the graduate poster division at the Allegheny Branch of the American Society for Microbiology meeting! 👏🏻🎊

Catching up with the @USDA_NIFA #REEU program students at the annual meeting of the @ASMicrobiology Allegheny Branch where they present their summer research from @agsciences with mentors @microdudley @darr25ll @jwmc1987 @tyler_cc_ @Ashley0hstrom and Amelia Navarre

It was so amazing catching up with former students at the ASM NGS conference and learning about all the amazing things they are doing 🤩

🍏🧫We are pumped to hear from @penn_state #foodscience researcher Jasna Kovac @kovac_lab discussing the influence of microbiota on foodborne pathogen #Listera monocytogenes in food processing environments. Can't make it? DM us for the zoom link! 💻

Excited to start on this multistate @USDA_NIFA project to investigate the impact of organic matter amendments on micro-predators & soil/plant health in collaboration w/ @triplettlr @jemersonmicro @BrahStevovo @Buckhout_Bull @kovac_lab @dr_biogeek @whereswaldoben, Gorgo-Gourovitch

Research by Marysabel Mendez-Acevedo, Laura Rolon, and colleagues suggests that #Listeria monocytogenes persisted in a fruit packing facility for over five years and exhibited resistance to the concentration of sanitizer used in sanitation procedures: https://t.co/kVnrjEp7HA

I am deeply honored to have been selected to receive the ASM Award for Early Career Environmental Research. This recognition would not have been possible without my students and the incredible support of my family and colleagues.
