The inaugural Black In Microbiology Week (#BlackInMicro) is 28 September 2020 through 4 October 2020. Its mission is to "showcase the presence and accomplishments of Black microbiologists from around the globe, connect Black microbiologists with one another and foster a sense of community among them, and provide a forum for the discussion of racial disparities in microbiology and its subfields." Participation in this event will happen primarily over Twitter through the hashtag #BlackInMicro and over Zoom through registration on the website https://blackinmicrobiology.org/ An additional mission of Black In Microbiology Week is to amplify black scientists. Today, does this by presenting two mSphere of Influence commentaries from Black In Microbiology co-lead organizers Ariangela J. Kozik ("mSphere of Influence: frameshift-a vision for human microbiome research" [mSphere 5:e00944-20, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1128/mSphere.00944-20]) and Kishana Taylor ("mSphere of Influence: that's racist-COVID-19, biological determinism, and the limits of hypotheses" [mSphere 5:e00945-20, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1128/mSphere.00945-20]).
首届微生物学中的黑人周（#BlackInMicro）将于 2020 年 9 月 28 日至 10 月 4 日举行。其使命是“展示全球范围内的黑人微生物学家的存在和成就，将黑人微生物学家彼此联系起来，并在他们之间培养社区意识，并提供一个讨论微生物学及其子领域中的种族差异的论坛。”参与此活动主要将通过 Twitter 上的#BlackInMicro 标签和网站 https://blackinmicrobiology.org/ 上的注册 Zoom 进行。微生物学中的黑人周的另一个使命是扩大黑人科学家的影响力。今天，通过呈现两位微生物学领域黑人共同领导者 Ariangela J. Kozik 的 mSphere 影响力评论来实现这一目标：“框架移位——人类微生物组研究的愿景”[mSphere 5:e00944-20，2020，https://doi.org/10.1128/mSphere.00944-20]和 Kishana Taylor 的“mSphere 影响力：那是种族主义——COVID-19、生物决定论和假设的局限性”[mSphere 5:e00945-20，2020，https://doi.org/10.1128/mSphere.00945-20]。
