François-Étienne Sylvain, M.Sc. student in our laboratory, won two awards at the 16th International Symposium on Microbial Ecology:

Best Poster Award;
JW Costerton Award (for research that best evolves new theories in microbial ecology and wider interdisciplinary significance).

F-E's poster discussed the unique properties of the Discus fish (Symphysodon aequifasciatus), in which the skin mucus feeding behavior at the beginning of their life cycle triggers mammalian-like gut microbiota colonization patterns.

Congratulations F-É !
