Huge congrats to @katherine.j.baxter, @nicholas.brereton, and all co-authors!
NASA Science just published a feature spotlighting this AWG community science paper! 
NASA Science feature: https://science.nasa.gov/get-involved/citizen-science/nasa-volunteers-study-biofilm-adaptability-in-space/
The work, led by Katherine (University of Glasgow) and Nick (University College Dublin) with the @MicrobesAWG, reframes biofilms from infection risks to essential structures supporting gut health, immunity, and plant nutrient uptake in space, with direct implications for crew health and plant-based life support systems.

This is a great example of what open, community-driven science can produce. Well done all!
