- #2027ISMPMI - Try 2 for Jeju, Korea! Hope to see you there and I’m glad that South Korea gets to host after their turn was missed because of the pandemic. There is a promise of good food 🤤 Though I may need to start saving up now with the state of things… #2025ISMPMI
- We (@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social @margotraffeiner.bsky.social @shanshuo.bsky.social) had a fantastic #2025ISMPMI in Cologne with lots of amazing science and great networking meeting old friends and new ones. Hope to see you all next time in Jeju/South Korea #2027ISMPMI

- Last plenary of #2025ISMPMI started (🥲) @algazuccaro.bsky.social will talk about the exciting findings of her group on effectors of mutualistic fungi
- @algazuccaro.bsky.social emphasizes that the next step in effector biology is revealing effector networks and how they interact with each other to exert their functions in the host! #effectorsrock #2025ISMPMI
