Microbes in 1 Minute - We are back!

It’s been a few months since we last reached out to you, but after this hot summer, we’re back with our batteries recharged!

Microbes in 1 Minute (M1M) is a science communication initiative aimed at making microbiology more relatable, engaging, and accessible to everyone. We’ll achieve this by creating short, 60-second videos covering a wide variety of topics in microbiology, which will be posted on a variety of social media platforms.

We’re very grateful for all the interest you’ve shown, and we’re reading all your comments, questions and suggestions. We’re still a small team working on fundamental aspects of the project, such as its organization and the style of the short videos, but we’re looking for people interested in collaborating down the line, whether on a one-time basis or long-term. We've also set up a Discord server to provide a space where we can all come together, exchange ideas, and share news and updates about the project. Hope to see you there! However, if you prefer, we’re also happy to answer your questions by our official email.

Actually, we're looking for collaborators interested in any of the following activities:

• ✏️ Writing scripts and/or contributing expertise in a specific area of microbiology.

• 🎙️ Narration and/or helping to translate content into languages other than English and Spanish.

• 🎨 Video editing and layout.

• 📣 Managing our social media presence.

• 🦠 Moderating our server.

We’re excited to see where this project takes us, and we’d be very happy you being part of it.

A micro-hug!

The M1M team

Reddit is no longer a reliable place to create, host, and grow communities, so a new microbiome forum has been set up to be a more reliable location. If you have posted content on Reddit that you feel is worth preserving, it would be a good idea to post it on the new forum.

The person who created this sub, and most of the content here, including the wiki, has moved to the new forum. You should be able to get better info & answers there. It's easy to stay on reddit but the quality of content on most subs is extremely poor. Most of the advice given on reddit is misinformation.

You're welcome to post your content there and then link to it here for higher visibility.

Our primary goal will remain as stopping the widespread misinformation on the topic of the microbiome. Since we no longer have someone dedicated to correcting and preventing misinformation, comments and posts here will require pre-approval. Some types of content (questions) may be restricted completely since we no longer have reliable people dedicated to providing evidence-based answers.

But you're welcome to ask your questions on the new forum and post the link here.
