How Galaxy is Unlocking the Secrets of Microbes: From Health to Ecosystems
Microbes—bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea—are invisible to the naked eye, but their impact is everywhere. They shape our health, drive Earth's ecosystems, and even influence the climate. Thanks to Galaxy and the Microbiology Galaxy Lab, researchers worldwide are unlocking the secrets of these microscopic powerhouses, leading to breakthroughs in medicine, ecology, and sustainability.
Galaxy at JOBIM
The JOBIM conference, the annual event of the French bioinformatics and biostatistic community, brought together researchers, educators, and innovators in bioinformatics to discuss cutting-edge tools, workflows, and collaborative efforts. Among the highlights of this year's event was the significant presence of Galaxy. This blog post explores the key contributions, presentations, and innovations centered around Galaxy at JOBIM 2025.

Evaluation of the current usage and future needs of Galaxy for microbial data analysis - We Need Your Help!
The microGalaxy community of practice would like to learn more about use-cases where Galaxy was beneficial, and also the barriers that prevent researchers from using Galaxy. The aim is to collectively find solutions to improve user experience and reduce barriers. To this end, we are launching a survey to reach out to, and learn from, the microbial research community.
Galaxy Mentor Network: Reset
We launched the [Galaxy Mentor Network](https://galaxy-mentor-network.netlify.app/) one year ago with the idea to onboard new members in the community. Now, one year later, we realize that we failed. We still believe in the power that the Galaxy Mentor Network, and, in that spirit, we would like to relaunch the Galaxy Mentor Network with a new matching process.
