There is a magical, invisible world all around us… and it’s populated by microbes! Did you know that microbes are not just harmful but extraordinary allies of life? They regulate ecosystems, purify air and water, and support our health! Yet, 99% of microbial species remain unknown, especially those thriving in our cities. It’s time to change our perspective! With your help, we can analyze unique samples collected from urban environments and organize a training workshop for university students. We will equip them with the tools to study the microbiome and become ambassadors of invisible biodiversity, raising awareness about the vital role of microbes for both the planet and us. We are researchers, students, engineers, and educators from Italy and the USA: a diverse team, just like the world we study. Support us and donate now! Your contribution will make this mission possible and help you see your city with new eyes. Fantastic Microbes are waiting for you!
