From 2018 to 2023, I have been part of the metabolic objects project at Medical Museion. As the project has now ended, in this blog post I want to reflect a bit on the twists and turns of the project and revisit some of the core ideas that developed along the way.

With the podcast ‘The Sound of microbes’ we want to explore the many weird and wonderful ways that humans and microbes collaborate.
