Seventeen speakers (10 early-career) were from DoD laboratories (Table (Table1), 1), five were from non-DoD government laboratories, six were from academic institutions (one from the United States Air Force Academy), and one was from industry. This represents a 3% decrease and 11% increase, respectively, compared to the third annual TSMC symposium.
Forty eight percent of the speakers were female and 24% of the speakers were from underrepresented minorities. Over the 2 day symposium, 31 speakers presented on microbiome-related topics within four broad thematic areas: (1) Enabling Technologies (2) Microbiome for Health and Performance (3) Environmental Microbiome and (4) Microbiome Analysis and Discovery. This larger increase may be a result of the easier accessibility of a virtual platform. The annual TSMC symposium attendances have been growing by about 30% each year. This represents a 39% increase in attendees compared to the in-person third annual TSMC symposium.
The 2020 symposium was held virtually on 24–25th September, with 181 registered attendees (72% DoD, 6% DoD-affiliated, 5% non-DoD government, 9% academia, 2% industry, 6% International). Towards those goals, and to discuss applications and implications of microbiome research, the TSMC hosts an annual symposium that includes subject matter experts from federal/state agencies, DoD-affiliates, academic institutions, and industry.
