🧪 That sourdough starter on your counter? It's a microbial community that's been evolving the whole time you've fed it.
@oliverio.bsky.social's lab just won a $2.1M NIH grant to use starters as a model system for studying how microbiomes evolve.
A new $2.1 million grant from the NIH will support the Oliverio lab’s fermented food research over the next five years.
