The Gut Microbiota Worldwatch (GMWW) team keeps you informed of the important advances in the science through our articles in English, French, and Spanish. This year saw more than 50 original blog posts on our website, which included new formats like book reviews and infographics. We launched a monthly newsletter.
The end of the year is nearly here and it is time to look back on what has happened over the last 12 months. We at Gut Microbiota Worldwatch want to share one of our favourite traditions with you - the list of the year's 10 most popular articles from our blog or, in other words, our Microbiotic Top 10!
