Plant Health Day: An interview with Dr Andrew Armitage Microbiology Society 2023-05-12 | 12 May is International Day of Plant Health. We encounter plants every single day. And yet, we tend to forget just how important they are. They provide oxygen that we need to breathe, the food we eat, life-saving medicines, clean water, and much more. Microbiology research is intimately linked with plant health. Microbes interact with plants and are crucial to ecosystem functioning – but they can also cause plant diseases, many of which are increasing in prevalence due to climate change. International Day of Plant Health calls on everyone to raise awareness and take action to keep our plants healthy.

Access Microbiology: an innovative open research platform Microbiology Society 2022-05-30 | Access Microbiology is the Microbiology Society's innovative open research platform, allowing the publication of replication studies, negative or null results, research proposals, data management plans, additions to established methods, and interdisciplinary work. Unlike traditional journal publishing, the peer review process of Access Microbiology has been completely turned inside out, so that the entire lifecycle of the article is posted publicly on the platform for all to see. This includes posting all versions of the article as a preprint, and posting the peer reviews and Editor’s decision alongside these, thereby increasing the transparency of the peer review process. The platform has a mandatory Open Data policy and incorporates various manuscript Review Tools during the submission process, allowing authors to improve their article right from the very beginning of the peer review process.The Microbiology Society is a membership charity for scientists interested in microbes, their effects and their practical uses.
