You can come say hello and get help with your ferments at the fermentation help desk (I'll be there 12-1pm), drink some sour beer, check out the science corner where my colleague Ben Wolfe will be talking about the science of cheese and other fermented foods, and see a panel on the microbiome moderated by me and featuring panelists from a bunch of leading microbiome research-centered companies: Aobiome, IndigoAg and Ginko Bioworks.

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
